My question is what other information do people want added?  One thing I'd
like to add if possible is a link to the change that might be responsible
for the failure or most recent commit, though naturally that will get
complicated.  Anything else?

My wishlist: differences to the previous build: what failed before and
built now, what built before and failed now, what was unmasked from a
fixed build failure and still doesn't build.

But that needs information about the previous build.

I've now added most of this to the bob report.

The latest bob reports now also include links to the commits that are the likely causes of any new failures. For example:

  https://reports.pkgci.org/Darwin/14.5/arm64/20260413T215911Z/report.html

shows the commits made to each PKGPATH since the previous build run for any new failures, and should help identify the causes of regressions.

Ideas for future enhancements include automatically cc'ing anyone on the commit list, as well as looking further afield than just PKGPATH for changes to any file in SCAN_DEPENDS so that e.g. changes to mk/ or bl3 that end up breaking packages are also recorded. Both would be pretty trivial to add, but I feel deserve a lot more thought and discussion.

Cheers,
