The buildbot is alive and well and has been finding real problems of various sorts roughly once a day for some time. I'm not spending much time on it anymore, just watching and tweaking occasionally.
The number of spurious failures is tapering off as I slowly expand the blacklist and polish up the scripts. I plan to turn on email notifications to wine-devel once there have been no spurious failure reports for five days, probably sometime in October.
http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildBot is up to date in case anyone's interested in details.
How about just sending error emails to the wine-bots list, AJ and the patch author? To be really honest I hate reading all the testbot emails on wine-devel.

Do you object to Greg's existing testbot emails, too?
Well before I flip the switch to turn on email to wine-devel, I will have a nice history of those emails for viewing, so people can judge the actual added noise level for themselves.

They're annoying when they are spurious...

Yes. That's why I've been focusing on reducing the spurious email rate, and won't turn email to wine-devel on until there have been no spurious emails for five days.

Kinda, yeah. I read wine-devel for developer comments, insights, development about wine, etc. Bot emails feel kind of wrong here; I especially dislike WTB's because a lot of them are timeout-sort of spam on one odd machine.

Well as long as the test failures remain available from http://source.winehq.org/patches/ (e.g. http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/79447.testfail), I don't see why the list should receive automatic replies/mails.
That should probably be opt-in so interested people can still receive messages on their private email address. Don't know if that's currently possible for WTB, though, or if it's a hardcoded list of recipients.
Maarten probably knows better
