Rob, I haven't added any alias to try that, but I bet it is updated automatically in its new location. (The old location of Alias.txt is now a one-liner that directs users to a new location in id.apache.org.)
I also notice an improvement in the updating of Alias.txt by folks changing the e-mail they subscribe to ooo-private with. This is good news. There are about a dozen e-mail disconnects currently rattling around the Roster, and this improvement will make it much easier to advise committers on cleaning those up. The great thing is the basic chain of authentication is now tied to the Apache ID. I am very grateful to @infra for this great usability win. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2012 10:47 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Committers and Alias.txt On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 9:29 AM, Shane Curcuru <[email protected]> wrote: > This has recently changed to be part of the shiny new power tool with the > strength to move mountains, the ID tool: > > https://id.apache.org/ > > I presume the documentation for this, and the new committer invite, etc., > has not caught up to the amazing speed and functionality of this new and > innovative way to track committer information at the Foundation. > > Please - login, check it out, and be amazed! > So do the email aliases defined in this new web interface still get written out to the old mailAlias.txt file?
