Hi Folks, I've noticed the following note in the latest developer news regarding our commit messages. I know that we have been using our own custom post-receive-email hook, and I wonder if now wouldn't be a good time to switch to this multimailhook script?
While we are at it, it seems that this multimail hook makes it easy to also send VCS notices to KGB (i.e., IRC announcements) and to the PTS. I'd like to enable all of them, but first wanted to check with you what to look out for. I've again forgot what exact problems our post-commit hook fixed.

Up to now, this script was based on (a very old copy of) the "post-receive-email" contrib script from Git upstream. I recently updated it and it's now based on git-multimail[2] which generates more useful mails (with better subjects, with commit ordering per push, with proper support of merge, etc.). I have tweaked the script to auto-migrate the old git configuration settings so most of you shouldn't have anything to do but you might want to review/tweak the generated configuration (multimailhook.* git config settings) and drop the old one (hooks.* git config settings). -- Raphaël Hertzog [1] http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git#Commit_mails_with_diff [2] https://github.com/mhagger/git-multimail/ _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
