Pretty sure this has been suggested in the past ;-)
(http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org/msg02
876.html) but I'll say again, setting up Tinderbox
(http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/) has to be a pretty good starting place
to collaborate on build issues.

It's really easy to setup
(http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_do_I_send_automatic_success_and_
failure_reports) and the classes will automatically deal with uploading of
your fail logs/build info etc. so you can refer others to it (and for that
matter, see if others are building the same packages without issue).

Regards,

John
