Thanks to Thorsten for starting that process. I was going to do it, but i am so glad that you beat me to it and that other people are starting to help with infrastructure. > Another thing that can help is that the Subversion > mailer can send mails for a specific part of the > repository to a mailing list. So we could get common > svn commit emails too. I investigated this. With the current Subversion we can configure a certain portion of the repository to send to only one mailing list. Google found that someone recently contributed a patch to enable sending to multiple lists. So when someone upgrades Subversion we will be able to do so. I suppose we just wait, because it is not urgent. So when we define a part of either Forrest or Lenya svn that needs to go to both of our commit@ lists. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
