Hi, I have switched the SVN mail notification script of the HPS Java and LCSim SVN repositories from svnspam (which is unmaintained) to the more standard svnmailer package. This automatically adds the committer's name to the message and creates an email like this for each commit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: [log in to unmask] Date: Tue Oct 21 11:34:44 2014 New Revision: 1255 Log: test Modified: java/sandbox/test.txt Modified: java/sandbox/test.txt ============================================================================== --- java/sandbox/test.txt (original) +++ java/sandbox/test.txt Tue Oct 21 11:34:44 2014 @@ -1,4 +1,3 @@ such commit so email another test yet another test -make sure this is unbroken for now ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess we no longer have the color coded diffs, but on the plus side the name of the committer will appear in every email now in the "Author:" field at the top. So if someone breaks something now you know who to bother about it. I have not really gotten into the details of the config yet. I just made it work. There are a lot of options for this script. http://opensource.perlig.de/svnmailer/doc-1.0/ This is what I'm using currently (e.g. for HPS). [general] sendmail_command = /usr/sbin/sendmail smtp_host = smtpunix.slac.stanford.edu [defaults] from_addr = [log in to unmask] to_addr = [log in to unmask] generate_diffs = add copy modify suppress_deletes = yes If anyone has suggestions for tweaking this in some way with specific configuration options, then let me know (send to the software list is fine). Thanks! --Jeremy ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the HPS-SOFTWARE list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=HPS-SOFTWARE&A=1
