Hi, Joel -
As a part of more security review on sourceware, I had recently
experimented with systemd logind's KillUserProcesses=yes option. It
turns out that this nuked one aspect adacore hooks' post-receive
processing, which create a background process to slowly dribble out
emails.
I restored KilledUserProcesses=no for now, but I'd really like to set
that back. That means the hooks would have to change. Here are a
couple of options:
- just send the emails immediately, without the daemon stuff; if the
delays are there to try to sequentialize them, consider instead
getting the hooks to emit Message-Id:/In-Reply-To:/Date: headers to
let MUA's sort properly at reception
- invoke the email sending wrapped in a "systemd-run --user"
deferred execution gadget, including a "sleep XXX" if you must
keep time-hope-based sequencing
- move email stuff entirely out of the hooks; these repos are "public
property" anyhow, and we can put cron jobs in place elsewhere to
trigger email notifications about commits; heck, they could run the
hook code itself later, just feed it retrospective git-hook lines
