Due to popular demand, I have setup my plog script to send emails about new patch(1)es to 9fans, the number of patches seems low enough that I don't think it will be a problem for anyone and in any case the emails are easy to filter out. If the volume of patches grows a lot I will setup a separated list for them.
I think it's good to allow discussion based on the patches so people can comment about them in 9fans instead of all discussion happening in almost-private in comments in /n/sources/patch/* notes which are difficult(if not impossible) to keep track of. Emails are only generated for patches that have been 'processed'(ie., accepted, saved, or 'sorry'). The source for plog can be found in /n/sources/contrib/uriel/plog Any comments, suggestions and improvements are appreciated. uriel P.S.: Here is my TODO list: - Keep a wiki page with a record of patches, this would work better once we have a web interface for sources so it can link to the diffs and files inside the patch - Maybe better handling of new files - Maybe integrate with the path(1) scripts, that would fix some races and simplify things
