Re: [Savannah-hackers] Erroneous CVS commit report

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

I think it is a bug in commit_prep+log_accum, basically it seems it
doesn't remove its temporary files after the notification. Although it
uses a random number as a suffix, sometimes the random number matches
an old one and generates an unappropriate diff.

You may consider to ask Corvus or Ward (I think Corvus worked on
tuning commit_prep+log_accum to Savannah, and Ward to the way it sends
mail) to fix the issue, if that's possible, and reinstall the new
binary-compiled Perl script where CVS notifications were installed.

Elfyn also had written a cron job to clear the directories used by
commit_prep+loc_accum before he left, but I am not sure it was working
perfectly.
