The script that sends mail to report installation of changes is broken and has been broken ever since it was installed. It does not understand multiple branches. When people looked at fixing this, to make the script find the change for the appropriate branch, they gave up because it was too hard.
Well, I have a different idea. The idea is that the script should only consider one branch (or, only the trunk). When a change occurs in the specified branch (or, in the trunk), the script would report it. Otherwise, the script would ignore it completely. I think this would be better than the change originally considered. For instance, Emacs has several branches, most of which are used by one particular person. I don't want to see notification of changes in them. Probably nobody does. I just want to see notification of changes in the trunk, and in the RC branch. So we could run two separate instances of the script--one for the trunk, sending to one mailing list, and one for the RC branch, sending to a different mailing list. And changes in other branches would not get reported at all. I think it might be easier to change the script simply to ignore changes to the wrong branch, rather than to make it handle multiple branches. Perhaps the branch could be specified with a command argument to the script. Could someone please take a look at this and try to fix it? _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
