GNU ELPA commit mails

GNU ELPA commit mails

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

the day before yesterday, I've merged GNU AUCTeX's master branch into
elpa/externals/auctex in preparation for a new release.  That resulted
in about 80 mails being sent to the auctex-devel list, one mail per
merged commit.

We have a separate commit message list auctex-commit@gnu.org.  Where can
I configure that commit messages in the AUCTeX ELPA branch also go to
that list instead of the normal development list auctex-devel?  Or can
somebody do that for us, please?

Bye,
Tassilo

I believe those messages are sent to the Maintainer address as given in
packages/auctex/auctex.el. You could change that address, but this might
not be desired. So your config would need an additional keyword, I believe.

That's right.

Exactly.  I don't have a good idea for the name ("Commit-Email:"?
"Diff-Mailing-list:"?) so if you have a good suggestion, please tell me.
Then just add that header to auctex.el and I'll adjust the
script accordingly.

Yes, I like that.

AFAICS, the ELPA mails include diffs.  Do I also have the option to get
commit mails without diffs, too?  In that case I'd suggest

  Commit-Notifications-To: auctex-commit@gnu.org
  Commit-Diffs-To: auctex-diffs@gnu.org

In case there's only the diff version, I'd just go with Notifications-To
as suggested by Clément.

No, there's no such option.

Done, thanks,

Ok.

Ok, I'm using Notifications-To: auctex-diffs@gnu.org now.  I'll report
back if it works.  I just did a new AUCTeX release but so far the commit
messages haven't appeared in neither auctex-devel nor auctex-diffs but
I'm reading those via Gmane which might cause some additional delay.

That's because you first pushed to `elpa` and then to
`externals/auctex`.  The scripts couldn't know that the pushes to `elpa`
were actually to the `auctex` package.  And then moving things from one
branch to another doesn't send any diffs (it just sends a single email
with a summary of the files changed on this branch).

Ah, ok.  I'll try to push to externals/auctex first in the future.  But
I'm not too interested in the diff mails anyway, so if they don't pop up
on our auctex-devel list, that's good enough.

Thanks,
Tassilo

The main purpose is to inform you when someone *else* (e.g. yours truly)
pushes a change to elpa.git's version of auctex.
So indeed, you're probably not too interested when you're the
one pushing.
