so ... what's the proper way to report a build failure?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  given that i like to keep up with the OE dev branch and test build a
beagleboard-demo-image as necessary, what is the *encouraged* way to
report a new build failure?  on the OE list?  on the angstrom list?
tinderbox?

  after a "git pull" earlier this morning, "realpath-1.15" fails to
build.  what should i do with the error diagnostics?

Pretty sure this has been suggested in the past ;-)
(http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org/msg02
876.html) but I'll say again, setting up Tinderbox
(http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/) has to be a pretty good starting place
to collaborate on build issues.

It's really easy to setup
(http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_do_I_send_automatic_success_and_
failure_reports) and the classes will automatically deal with uploading of
your fail logs/build info etc. so you can refer others to it (and for that
matter, see if others are building the same packages without issue).

Regards,

John

The wiki link for me had nothing on it, I have been wondering the same
things myself.

Thank you very much for that!

any chance there is a good tutorial or something along those lines for
writing your own recipe for installing a program onto your platform? I have
tried the helloworld tutorials on your site and the gumstix wiki and I am
not having any luck in getting it to work for an actual program, I am trying
to get metasploit to compile for the gumstix overo fire.
