28 Two issues:
29
30 proj/en/releng is old as hell and doesn't even mention stage generation.
31
32 How does a developer know when the stage generation is broken? Is
33 there a dashboard? At work we have a guy who is basically a build cop
34 and checks our build dashboard once a day or so and if it is broken he
35 goes and finds the guy who broke it and punches him in the face until
36 he fixes it. I imagine we do not have staff for this (and no one has
37 invented punching over the internet.)
38
39 I am curious how often stage builds fail (how long can they be broken
40 until we actually care?)
