Scilab appears to require some nonfree code, so I can understand why that might fail, but I don't see anything special about the other packages. The only message is "The requested URL was not found on this server", hence no log file. I do not get the promised e-mail notification even when a build is successful.Not sure about why you are not getting mailers. I just did a test build and it emailed me. Below is a quick search of recent builds with your mail file to assist: http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.235903.664082444/mail http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.235851.131706557/mail http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.151120.752444877/mail http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.235904.120915544/mail http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.152038.364941534/mail http://live-build.debian.net/build/20110310.235852.111213652/mail The builds appear to have been successful.
Four of those six URL's I can access now, but the other two return (as they did before):
The requested URL /build/20110310.151120.752444877/mail was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.17 (Debian) Server at live-build.debian.net Port 80The requested URL /build/20110310.152038.364941534/mail was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.17 (Debian) Server at live-build.debian.net Port 80One of the above URL's that I could now access showed a successful build with octave, putting the lie to my generalization that big scientific packages were not working. I suppose the builds are OK and I'm having trouble connecting to your server. When I was able to download a build, it often appeared later than the expected 5-20 min, and often disappeared well before the posted 24 h.
I looked for the missing mail in the spam folder for both my ISP (AT&T, with mail service contracted to Yahoo) and for my Thunderbird reader, and can't find it. There was some discussion recently on slashdot about ISP whitelists blocking all mail from small independent servers.
Do you have any suggestions, other than to keep trying to connect when I get the "URL not found" message? Is there any obvious reason why not to include all of octave3.2, r-base-core, and maxima?
