[Savannah-hackers] Re: mail from rms

Bala,
Tell RMS, that you already took the task of "viewcvs" python
exception. If he thinks "log_accum" is of higher priority, you can
start with this one instead. 

For security reasons it is not possible to share admin passwords to
members outside savannah-hackers.  Until you get accepted into the ore
team, You will need to setup a local savannah like environment to
reproduce the same bugs.  I can help you with that. On Monday, I will
get a dedicated server to play with.

Savannah has a feature of mailing diffs to a mailing list
automatically.  The script that does this was formerly called
log_accum, and maybe it still is called log_accum.

I tried to add a feature to log_accum that would specify
"only changes to a specific branch" or "only changes in the trunk".
But this feature does not seem to work.

Could you debug it, and make it work?

Then we could change the emacs-diff mailing list so that it only
reports changes in the trunk.  We could have some other lists to
report changes in various branches, if people want them.

Also, currently the emacs-diff list gets occasional spam.
The only mail to emacs-diff and other such lists that is legitimate
is the mail produced by log_accum.  Perhaps you can set up something
to reject any mail that doesn't come from Savannah.  We could use
that for all of these lists.  Something simple might do the job.

Do you want to work on this?
