Bug ID: 7837
Summary: Revise masscheck so that it can operate on a pull from
a branch when desired
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: spamassassin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Undefined
Rationale: Currently a divisive and fragile sequence of patches are intended
for the trunk of SA and various components. Many requests have been made by
several people that these be carried out in a branch where the changes can be
tested by the committer rather than the general community at large. This is
described as not possible as "masscheck only works on trunk".
Solution: Change masscheck so it can be run on a specified branch when desired.
Discussion: This will allow a cohesive whole made of a long sequence of fragile
individual patches to be developed in an environment that will not affect
general development, SA users that use trunk, 3rd party developers, and others.
Exposing them to the trials and tribulations of probable constant project
breakage as small tightly inter-woven patches are committed without sufficient
testing (in the name of being able to generate that testing) is not desirable,
when the alternative would be adding a parameter to the masscheck scripts to
allow a pull and test from a specified branch.
