I see. And how come the Linux kernel always build when I check out TOT? Ah, 
that's right. If you do pull requests for code that doesn't compile, you are 
probably sloopy and that means public humiliation. It's a good thing :)


Could you please drop it or be at least constructive?

1) Linux isn't an entire operating system, it's just a kernel.
2) As has been pointed out to you, we don't have a review system in place -- every single committer is responsible for not breaking the build. The same can happen in Linux, too, it just won't ever come that far. 3) Comparing a commercially backup up project with literally endless resources to Haiku is just a little bit unfair, anyway. 4) *Everyone* is annoyed by broken builds, it's not just you (and that includes the developer that was responsible). It's definitely okay to speak up about it, and kick some asses, too, but unless you come with constructive criticism on how to improve things, it would be very appreciated to leave it at that. 5) While I don't maintain a list, I'm not aware of any developer breaking the build a lot more frequently than any other. 6) If you're so annoyed by broken builds, please just follow Ingo's advise, and let the automated builds find out about that for you. 

Bye,
   Axel.
