Evening all,

Due to a recent vulnerability in part of their sytem, SourceForge shut
down all shell access to their CVS and other versioning system
servers. This was fine for us, though it did mean that updating out
post-commit hooks was a bit painful. Unfortunately, they have now
re-eneabled mostly everything, but disabled access to sendmail.

This latter disabling rendered our two update hooks useless, and had
the further effect of making it impossible to push due to the hooks
causing errors. I have resolved this issue by removing the hooks. This
has the following effect:

1. It is now possible to push to SourceForge, hooray!
2. No c-r-c emails. :(
3. No ##crawl-dev IRC messages from CIA.

There is no indication as to how much time it will take SourceForge to
bring sendmail access back up on their hosts, or even if they will.
Thus, if we want c-r-c emails, we will need to come up with a
secondary option. bhaak has suggested that we use RSS as a temporary
workaround, but I'm not personally cognizant enough of SourceForge's
RSS interface in order to personally write a script that generates
commit messages.

Hopefully someone will have an idea!
