Re: Missing kernelci bot emails?

Hello everybody,

Apologies for the delay =E2=80=94 I wanted to take a proper look at the
notifications system first, since it's a part of the KernelCI
Dashboard I hadn't explored in depth before.

From local testing, the system appears to be working as intended. What
I did find is that a summary email is only sent when two conditions
are both met:
    1. A recent checkout exists. The subscribed branch must have a
checkout that started between 5 and 29 hours before the daily run. The
5-hour delay gives builds and tests time to finish reporting, and only
the most recent checkout in that window is used.
    2. At least one test changed state. Looking at the last 7 days, a
test must show a regression (PASS to FAIL), a fix (FAIL to PASS), or
unstable behaviour (flapping, or inconclusive results such as ERROR or
SKIP). If everything is stable, the report is skipped.

Debugging against
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git, all
the tests I can see in the current window are passing with no state
changes, which is why the notification is being
  skipped. Does that match your expectation =E2=80=94 that there simply
haven't been any status changes recently?
There is also a flag to send the summary every day (when we have
builds) regardless of whether anything changed on test status =E2=80=94 we
already use it for the mainline tree. If you'd prefer that for arm64,
I'm happy to enable it.

Att,
Alan Peixinho
