#12602: real author in "From" header in svn commit log emails --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: jmpp@macports.org | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: infrastructure | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: real author, commit log message --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by jmpp@macports.org): Replying to [comment:1 wsiegrist@apple.com]:

Author is the 2nd line of the colored Diff output. Do you really want the emails addressed from the authors too? Like you mentioned, it means the emails to -changes will get deferred if they arent on the list, which is just more admin work for the owner(s) of that list.

Yes, having the commit author as the mail remittent would be a big plus for many reasons in my opinion, even though the information is already there in the mail body. And about committers signing up to the list, that's not much of a problem since we *should* all be there, to stay on top of changes as they happen ;-) I've been forgetting to request newcomers to subscribe to our lists, but I already added that part to my template mail. As for existing members, I'll post to the dev list reminding everyone they need to be subscribed to changes. So, please, make the change ;-) Thanks! -jmpp -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12602#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
