We would like to get notifications of Jenkins success/failures send to a mailing list. Spamming qa is probably not a good idea, so we should have a qa-notification list.
If QA +1's this request, please change component to "Mailing lists"
+1, changed component
Thanks, Chris and Antoine! Before I create this list, I require the following information from you: 1. Who is supposed to be list administrator (please provide at least two addresses)? 2. Are the list archives supposed to be public or private? 3. Should subscription to the list require admin approval or subscriber confirmation only? These are just the basic settings; you will of course be able to set the details by yourselves once I create the list & forward admin password to you.
Hello Tomasz, Sorry we forgot the basic details, here they are: > 1. Who is supposed to be list administrator (please provide at least two addresses)? Both I and Chris: hashar+wmf@free.fr and cmcmahon@wikimedia.org > 2. Are the list archives supposed to be public or private? Public archives. > 3. Should subscription to the list require admin approval or subscriber confirmation only? Any user should be able to subscribe. So that would be an open list :-) We already have two lists suffixed with '-Alerts': EventLogging-Alerts Multimedia-Alerts So I guess we can follow that scheme and use QA-Alerts. Thank you!
The list has now been created, and I configured it to have public archives, with everyone being able to subscribe to it. You can configure the rest of the settings, including list description and a terse identifying phrase at the following web page: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/qa-alerts The web page for users of your mailing list is: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/qa-alerts I just sent the admin password to the two given e-mail addresses, and made them list administrators. Please make sure to list the new mailing list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Overview This request is now closed; enjoy your new mailing list!
I forgot to mention that the list is subscribed to Gmane under gmane.org.wikimedia.qa.alerts if you are going to link to the archive on the Overview page on Meta.
Thank you very much for the gmane registration!
I have updated Jenkins to emit emails from jenkins-bot@wikimedia.org and subscribed that address to the list (mail delivery to that address is disabled though). A first tested worked http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/qa-alerts/2014-May/000000.html Thank you.
