[cl-cookbook-contrib] syncmail

[<ed...@ag...>]

Hi!

I have (or rather had) set up syncmail according to the instructions
on Sourceforge to automatically mail CVS commits to this mailing
list. Unfortunately, this setup seemed to prevent Bill Clementson and
me from commiting to the CVS repository - I got error messages like
these:

  edi@bird:~/cl-cookbook> rm buildilisp.bat 
  edi@bird:~/cl-cookbook> cvs remove buildilisp.bat 
  cvs server: scheduling `buildilisp.bat' for removal
  cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently
  edi@bird:~/cl-cookbook> cvs commit                
  cvs commit: Examining .
  Removing buildilisp.bat;
  /cvsroot/cl-cookbook/cl-cookbook/buildilisp.bat,v  <--  buildilisp.bat
  new revision: delete; previous revision: 1.1
  done
  /cvsroot/cl-cookbook/CVSROOT/syncmail: !doctype: No such file or directory
  /cvsroot/cl-cookbook/CVSROOT/syncmail: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">'
  /cvsroot/cl-cookbook/CVSROOT/syncmail: line 2: `"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">'

I've removed the syncmail stuff temporarily, but I'd be interested to
know if anybody knows how to do this correctly. My attempts can still
be found in the CVS history here:

Thanks,
Edi.
