[Savannah-hackers-public] submit changes and return to this item

For the record ... here is the patch that I just referred to in https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?13522#comment13. I happened to get the same nogroup message on puszcza as the OP did here, and Sergey fixed it in short order. (Thanks Sergey.) I just committed the patch to administration/savane.git;

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] improving spf (anti-spam) measures from outgoing emails from savannah

Do you think adding a DNS TXT record could improve the SPF filtering? It might help, is unlikely to hurt, but SPF is no panacea. One of the things in Sergey's patch is to change the From: address to be that of the user posting the item/comment, instead of invalid.noreply. I rather

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] cgit/gitweb - owner updates

BTW, I just thought of one more point: if the purpose of the owner field is to provide a way for people to contact the maintainers, only bug-PKG (not bugs-PKG, by the way) would do, I think. Maintainers are not obligated to be on any help or discussion list by the GNU standards. Although it's

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] cgit/gitweb - owner updates

Hi Assaf, Though there are few existing cases of names being used for owners: If a person decides to put their own name in, that's up to them. My point was, we shouldn't do it automatically. emacs.git Jim+Meyering Certainly wrong, as Jim would be the first to say. Which makes me think

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] cgit/gitweb - owner updates

Which one do you think is better? A generic email address, definitely. Or else do nothing. It would be wrong to, e.g., call me the owner of administration, or rms the owner of Emacs or Jeff Bailey the owner of tar, so don't do that in any event. At least with generic email addresses, we're

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] disk-usage monitoring on vcs.sv.gnu.org

So something like the following, once a week: Right. Maybe --exclude=/proc, as Bob mentioned. du --one-file-system --human --bytes --separate-dirs / \ Better to leave out --human, since it's a lot easier for a script to subtract two actual numbers than something like 2.1M

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] disk-usage monitoring on vcs.sv.gnu.org

As long as you're doing a du of everything -- when looking for disk hogs (wasn't that what we were talking about initially?), you need to know the exact directory. I find GNU du's --separate-dirs option the most useful approach. The summary could be useful to see how usage changes over time, I
