So I've set up a post-commit smoke test script that runs off of a Subversion trigger.
Very nice except if I send an email on every commit our mailing list I risk life and limb :) They got feisty enough at having the commit logs mailed.
What I really want is a way to say "only send a notification when the build is broken or when it goes back to working". It seems one additional option would change that: [] Success state change.
By checking that and "Build fail" I would always get a fail notice but I would also get an extra notice for the first success after a series of fails.
Is there already some way for a project to trigger a notification?

Hi Oliver
This is not currently possible, but it is something we should do. I’ll talk to Paul about it next week (he’s on vacation this week).
