[HACKERS] Volunteer for -patches summary

Folks, As Dave Page is on holiday for the next few weeks, I'm looking for people who can help summarize -patches and -committers for inclusion in the PostgreSQL Weekly News. When you volunteer for this, you don't have to catch everything, but I'd really appreciate it if you can get me something b

[HACKERS] trivial script for getting pgsql-committers patches

2006-07-31 Thread Alvaro Herrera
I found a script I wrote some time ago and had forgotten. I pipe the messages from pgsql-committers to it, and it connects to our cvsweb, grabs the patches and puts them into a single file in /tmp. It's pretty low-tech but it saves me the time to go clicking each link to see what changed where.
