Description Björn Jacke 2026-07-29 13:28:36 UTC 
our autobuild system needs to be much more verbose on errors. For example here is a build failure, which shows just this:

[2984/3722] Linking bin/default/libcli/security/test_sddl_conditional_ace
[2985/3722] Linking bin/default/libcli/security/test_run_conditional_ace
[2986/3722] Compiling libcli/ldap/tests/ldap_message_test.c
Waf: Leaving directory `/m/bjacke/a423/b706962/samba-h5l-build/bin/default'

and the links to the build logs mentioned in the autobuild failure mail should actually be accessible, so that the problem can be analyzed.
Comment 1 Björn Jacke 2026-08-12 07:57:59 UTC 
I have fixed the links in the error mails. But still, why is the stderr output containing the errors not in the mails? Metze, can you have a look?
