As far as I know, and as best as I can tell, there is *always* an email as
this is driven by a scripted process.

Now email / SMTP reliability is not what it used to be, outages happen
(e.g. Uwe acknowledged that U Dortmund had a recent mishap -- but mail was
still queued and delivered), spam is an issue etc so I would carefully check
spam folders and alike. It would be nice if there was redundancy (i.e. an
email and public webpage log) but we all wish for different ponies.

Also, I am glad to hear you made progress at your end. You could use GitHub
Actions to run a Debian container and use clang-21 or clang-22, possibly with
the more taxing -O3 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 settings, and see if the build times
is net improved. Chances are that will help you with the Fedora machine in
Oxford too.

Cheers, Dirk
