Given people's reluctance to accept Jenkins emailing the dev list I'm forced to question why some people are even contributing to this project. If you don't want to hear about build or test failures then I don't know what you're doing here.
I will investigate the permissions issue, but the Jenkins server will continue to email the list when and if the build is broken.

Hi Greg,
I think this kind of email is what people were fearing that we would be
getting when you setup Jenkins. I identify a few issues:

This change is totally unrelated to the stuff being built by Jenkins. It
shouldn‘t have triggered a new build at all. And at any rate, if the
build failed previously (#66), it shouldn‘t have sent a new email about
the failure.

This doesn‘t look much like a code problem but like a permissions
problem with Jenkins not being to install stuff. Maybe you could give
the whole Jenkins stuff a bit of time to mature before automatically
sending the messages to the list? (btw: Jenkins also provides RSS feeds,
which is a pretty nice way of keeping track of those things, imho)
Thanks alot,
Niels
