Hi Alex, >>From the point of view of Savannah, I can tell you that all commit messages are sent, regardless of the author's address. I've looked at the CVS history files and everything looks fine; the problem might be at mail.gnu.org that receives the e-mail notifications and redistributes them to emacs-commit. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the new method used in mail.gnu.org to distribute mail, so I cannot help you (Paul Fisher should be able to help you). What I can tell you is that there are three Emacs developers (lektu, kfstorm and handa) whose commits may stop sending e-mail notifications at any time, because they continue to use the old CVS repository, rather than the new one, in spite of the warnings given when they commit to the old repository. The old repository (/home/cvs/emacs or /cvs/emacs) is a symbolic link to the new one (/cvsroot/emacs), so the files are committed in the same place, but the CVSROOT files for both repositories are different and they have separate history files. If the two CVSROOTs ever become out of sync, CVS may start behaving differently for those 3 developers than for the rest. Whenever the Emacs maintainers request it, we can remove the link from /home/cvs/emacs to the new repository, to avoid problems and to keep a unique history file. What will happen at that time is that users who continue to use the old one will get an error message telling them the repository does not exist, but they can find out where the new one is in Savannah's Emacs page. Cheers, Jaime
