Alert system for core developers

Open vrurg opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

After merging a PR which drastically changes directory structure of Rakude sources as well as some of its internals (though the latter must not affect user land code) I have realized that I don't know how to issue a 'heads up' alert.

We used to have this: https://github.com/perl6/alerts/

As far as I know, -dev mailing list is pretty much not used anymore. Therefore this channel might not work as expected.

Possible variants for this are:

  1. Re-vivify the mailing list.
  2. Teach an IRC bot to send personal messages.
  3. A web service of some kind?
  4. ... your variants follow

Following a IRC note.

problem-solving is not reliable enough. Discussion/approval here and actual merge/commit are somewhat different events. Also, sometimes approvals are obtained by other means like IRC as the most likely one.

What I'm thinking about is having something like [ALERT] or [BIG CHANGE] in PR headers.

Is there a -dev mailing list? :thought_balloon:

1. Re-vivify the mailing list.

That should probably be the best.
