"We lost our CVS server for a while today, so Hudson jobs started failing because they
couldn't check out the source. Fair enough. However, my attention was drawn to the line
'This build was worth 12730.0 points" line for the failed build, so when I looked at the
details I saw this:
So, a failed build awards thousands of points for removing all of our checkstyle and findbug
errors, and subtracts 10 points for breaking the build? Not exactly the behaviour I was
expecting, and some people I know might see that as an incentive to check in and break
the build And what happens when you fix the build - does it subtract thousands of
points for suddenly adding a load of errors? "
