Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I've installed activitymail[0] on the CVS server to email out commit log email messages. A few things you should know about this:
1) instead of sending out an email per directory, it sends out one email per commit. This should greatly reduce the amount of email clutter on the -patches mailing list. This also means that you should try to combine multiple files/directories into a single commit instead of committing them separately. 2) It uses your first sentence (or up to 72 characters) as the subject of the email. This means that you should change how you log your commits. In particular, you should try to make a primary, short, single-sentence summary of the commit, and then go into detail. Note that it uses a period to denote end of sentence, so your sentence CAN run over multiple lines. This also means that if you neglect your sentence-ending period it will continue into the rest of your comments when building the subject line. 3) There is a new list, gnucash-changes[1], which not only gets the commit log messages but ALSO gets diffs with each commit. So, if you want to see what everyone is changing you can subscribe[2] to the -changes list. Note that if you're on both patches and changes you WILL get two emails for every commit. That's all for now. Enjoy the new service. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or issues. -derek [0] http://search.cpan.org/~dwheeler/activitymail-1.19/ [1] http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-changes/ [2] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-changes/ -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
