Package: cvs-syncmail Version: 2.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
The cvs NEWS file says:
Changes from 1.12.5 to 1.12.6:
* The CVSROOT/*info files want a new command format and the old style
strings have been deprecated. Please see the manual for more information
on the new format.
(1.12.6 was released at about 2004-05, I believe.)
. However, syncmail(1) says:
one/ $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/syncmail %{sVv} [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That'd better be:
be sure your CVSROOT/config features
UseNewInfoFmtStrings=yes
and add to CVSROOT/loginfo:
one/ /usr/bin/syncmail %1{sVv} [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.
Furthermore, there _is_ a syncmail alternative which is able to cope
with new-style command formats: maildiff by Behdad Esfahbod, from July
2004. A copy is available from
http://gd4.tuwien.ac.at/hci/freedesktop.org/fribidi/CVSROOT/maildiff .
I am not quite sure about the license; you might want to check that out
before redistributing the script.
Anyway, I believe it'd be quite useful if a new-style syncmail-like
script got shipped with the cvs-syncmail package.
Thanks, Bye,
Joost
