I'm too lazy to write my own code and wait for the rewrite of ud-ldap. 2. ldap was too often not available due to network problems. I really want to avoid it as long as there is a chance that I have to investigate manually why it failed again. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer GPG Fingerprints: 06C8 C9A2 EAAD E37E 5B2C BE93 067A AD04 C93B FF79 ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm working on a cronjob already which is able to read the data from the NM database and will send out such mails to -project. It will rely on the fact that new DDs should receive an account on merkel.

Well, one thing one might thing of: Auditing soname-changes. However, I guess the release-team would be the better group to evaluate those and I do not have an immediate idea on how to do this without causing major delays.

Yeah, that email is pretty useless for most people. The only interesting piece of information in 10+k of email would be the To-line. weasel -- | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal http://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `-http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does anybody want to come up with a proper wording? When we (DSA) add an account with the ud-ldap tools, it already sends an automated email to the new DD. It could also potentially mail -project or something with some simple template. The downside of doing it that way is we have none of the NM process information available.
