Description Duncan Mills

In the existing Hudson infrastructure, the members of the developers list are all alerted when a new bug is logged (or updated). 
We'd like to see if the same thing will be possible in Eclipse. Specifically auto-mailing the hudson-dev@eclipse.org list regarding any bugs created / updated in technology.hudson

Thanks. 
Duncan

We don't connect bugzilla to mailing lists.  What we do is create a 'generic' bugzilla user for the project, and then people can add that user to their watch list, so that any bug interaction involving that user gets sent out to the interested parties.  Then all that needs to be done is make that generic user the default assignee for your components.

-M.

Thanks - I'll raise this at our next community meeting and see how folks want to proceed. 
Would we need to create such a user externally, or would that be an @eclipse.org address?

It would look like: hudson.component-inbox@eclipse.org.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
