Re: make check is broken (again) - patch testing seeming to taking more of my time than I like

Sorry, I don't care.

I still cannot do make-check this morning based on current master.

Look everyone, I thought we had a defined process here - we should not 
be 'fixing as we go'. Either master works or it doesn't as far as I am 
concerned.

If it doesn't then it is up to the devs to decide if they are going to 
revert master/staging so we can test *other* patches, or if a fix is 
done (without me testing) and it is pushed to staging and then merged 
immediately - assuming whoever is running patchymerge is doing it 
properly - so I can continue to test based on current master.

My role is not to dance about broken master branches or apply this or 
that patch to broken staging/master so that other devs, who have patches 
in the queue 'now', have to wait until that fix is counted down and 
pushed before I can test their patches.

So please fix staging/master - whoever, again I don't really care. That 
is not my responsibility. I just run build commands to test patches and 
make sure the reg test diffs (if there are any) are OK visually or not. 
I am just a glorified administrator that tries to keep track of patches 
so that developers can get on developing.

So no patch testing again today either (at least from me anyway)

P.S. Also if 'Tidy' is a 'requirement' then make sure it is not listed 
in the 'please consider installing..' section that 'configure' spews 
out,  but that it actually is listed in the requirements and make sure, 
either way it is documented in the CG.
