Re: [Cvs-syncmail] How to debug syncmail

[Mathieu M. <mat...@ki...>]

Ok just for history. the problem was that my postfix installation was 
broken. Somehow it worked from the command line. But used to telnet 25 
on the server would just hang forever.

The solution is posted (by myself) here:

[mailing.postfix.users > Postfix appears to hang on telnet 25 ]
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.postfix.users/msg/ba279c9124a1f58f

Ok and the answer is:
  Sep 27 12:03:14 localhost postfix/local[6213]: fatal: open database
/etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory

I need to run at least once the command newalias. For some reason I
missed that from the gentoo install:

/usr/portage/mail-mta/postfix/postfix-2.1.5-r2.ebuild
if [ ! -e /etc/mail/aliases.db ] ; then
         echo
         ewarn "You must edit /etc/mail/aliases to suit your needs"
         ewarn "and then run /usr/bin/newaliases. Postfix will not"
         ewarn "work correctly without it."
fi



Sorry for the noise

[Cvs-syncmail] How to debug syncmail

[Mathieu M. <mat...@ki...>]

Hello there,

	I am trying to debug syncmail (v2.3). I have a machine running a local 
mailserver (postifx) which then relay to a main mail server. Running the 
/bin/mail command from my user seems to be working fine (I can send 
email to yahoo.com/gmail.com ...).

	But I cannot get anything to work with syncmail. At first syncmail was 
just freezing for ever. I tried inserting print statement to debug, but 
even with sys.stdout.flush() I could not get anything to print on cout. 
I then remove `if not os.fork():` to be `if True:`. Now it is at least 
entering in the if. This is how far I could get. Any help *very* 
appreciated, esp. on how to debug syncmail.

Thanks
Mathieu
Ps: in my loginfo I also have:
ALL /bin/mail -s %s use...@my...
which is working fine.

Summary: Unencoded non-ascii chars in From:

Initial Comment:
The sf.net-maintained syncmail (and I guess other 
versions aswell) do not properly apply mime word 
encoding to non-ascii characters in From:, e.g. for my 
name it sends out "From: Björn Höhrmann ..." while it 
should use e.g. "From: =?utf-8?Q?
Bj=C3=B6rn=20H=C3=B6hrmann?= ..." since non-ascii 
characters are not allowed in the mail header.

Hello,

in my loginfo.

syncmail sends mail to:

I changed

specs = args[0].split()
    del args[0]
    # The remaining args should be the email addresses


to


specs = args[0].split()
    del args[0]

    del args[0]
    del args[0]

    # The remaining args should be the email addresses

And now it works fine.

Initial Comment:

When a new directory is added using "cvs add dirname"
it causes syncmail to abort with a stack trace. This
trivial patch fixes that by just checking whether
CVS/Entries exists before trying to parse it.

Initial Comment:
for project clisp on SF.net,
I use
"Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server)"
via SSH on cygwin and linux.

During CVS commit, I often get this messages:

Message: [22:06:14] waiting for sds's lock in
/cvsroot/clisp/clisp/tests

[note, "sds" is myself]

then, after a few minutes, commit succeeds.

the CVS experts looked at syncmail code and suggested
that:
"syncmail uses CVS commands to generate a diff to
include in the mail -- if it tries to do that before
your commit
finishes, it will block waiting for your commit's lock.  
I would suggest changing syncmail to use "cvs -n" for
the diff,
which will ignore the lock."

syncmail is generating loooong e-mail messages. is
there some command line switch to force it to generate
one e-mail for one file? or limit e-mail to few kilo
bytes? e-mail is then truncated on sourceforge's mail
server, which makes this solution meaningless.

Summary: pass through "cvs diff" -p, --show-c-function options

Initial Comment:
Add syncmail support to pass through -p
--show-c-function options to the "cvs diff" command.

Changes in more detail:
  * trivially add -p / --show-c-function parameters to
syncmail
  * pass through the parameter to the "cvs diff" command
  * document changes in syncmail __doc__ and
doc/syncmail.sgml
  * recompiled doc/syncmail.sgml to doc/syncmail.1

This does not look very complicated, so I rate the
probability this introduces bugs as low. A first test
at libexif CVS indicates it works as intended.

The current (at least in v1.21) binary detection fails

Hi!

We have many files that contain a few french accents, and 
for which we don't get our diff's by email since they are 
considered as binary, which is annoying!

I'll work on a change that uses "rlog -h" to get the binary
flag from CVS, so we really get this right.  Would be nice
if CVS understood text in better ways than it does now.

Summary: Provide a default "From" address 

Initial Comment:
In some systems, a CVS account does not necessarily imply a mail 
account too, and while the -f (--fromhost) option already allows 
basic mapping of e-mail addresses, there are cases where this is 
not sufficient and you want syncmail to say that it is sending mail 
on behalf of user X without knowing user X's e-mail address.

On our system using cvs-syncmail the problem was rather acute 
since syncmail was actually sending the notification to public 
mailing-lists with public Web archives, and the bogus From: 
addresses were not acceptable. 

This patch adds a -F (--forcefrom) which changes the usual from 
line "From: Name Surname <use...@ho...>" to "Name 
Surname via cvsmail <xx...@ho...>".

Patched against current cvs-syncmail (2.1).

syncmail sends mail to:
1.6 1.7 dev...@co...

I changed

specs = args[0].split()
    del args[0]
    # The remaining args should be the email addresses


to


specs = args[0].split()
    del args[0]

    del args[0]
    del args[0]

    # The remaining args should be the email addresses

And now it works fine.

Summary: Only first email address is sent to

Initial Comment:
I tried multiple email addresses in the loginfo file but
syncmail would only send mail to the first email address
mentioned.

The version I use is from the
 cvs-syncmail_1.2+cvs.2004.05.02-2_all.deb
Debian package.

Thanks and best regards!

Summary: Remove commas from sender's name in e-mail

Initial Comment:
On my system there are multiple sections to the name
field in  /etc/passwd, separated by commas:

elliot:x:1018:1018:Elliot
Schwartz,,,:/home/elliot:/bin/bash

When the e-mail is sent, it includes the commas:

From: Elliot Schwartz,,, <el...@mi...>

I fixed this by changing:

name = pwinfo[4]

to:

name = pwinfo[4].split(",")[0]

But maybe there's a better way to do this using the pwd
library.

Same effect here, cvs-syncmail brags out the fields
with phone number etc. otherwise. Patch works for me,
would recommend adding it.

Summary: Adding viewcvs link into syncmail emails

Initial Comment:
This patch adds an option (--viewcvs=URL ; also
configurable by editing the setting in the syncmail
script) that, when set, adds two URLs before each file.
 One to view the specific diff and one to view the
record of the file in viewcvs.

The simple view (not the link to the diff) should work
equally well with any software that views the CVS
repository and can have a path appended.

This is still experimental, which is why I have both
links in there.  Also, my python skills are quite poor,
so there's probably some stylistic problems here that
somebody more fluent in python could clean up.

Still, we've been using this at our site for a couple
of days and haven't encountered any problems.

Oh yeah, still need to fix it so that files with strange
things in their names (like spaces) generate correct links.

Summary: '--ignore=filepattern' option

Initial Comment:
This patch adds a new argument to syncmail, '-i'
('--ignore'). It takes a glob-like pattern as argument,
and ignores all files that match the pattern. It
doesn't send diffs for them, and if all files are
ignored, doesn't send mail at all (but the subject is
currently not altered for ignored files.)

 - Multiple -i or --ignore arguments can be given to
ignore multiple patterns
 - The usual *, ?, [seq] and [!seq] patternmagic work
 - '**' matches any number of directories (including 0)
 - All matching is case sensitive
 - All filenames are relative to the CVS *module* root

 - If the pattern contains no '/', the pattern is
matched against a file's basename only (so '*.c' as
pattern matches all files ending in '.c' in all
directories.)

 - If the pattern ends with a '/', the pattern is
matched against dirname only (so 'tmp/' ignores all
*files* in tmp/, but not files in subdirectories of tmp/.

 - Otherwise, the pattern is matched against the whole
path, relative to the CVS *module* root.

 - To match a single file only in the topmost directory
(but not files with the same name everywhere) prepend
the pattern with './'.

The patch includes a _filter_test() function that shows
some examples.

Problems:
  - It's not tested to death. The pattern matching
magic is tested fairly thoroughly, but the modified
script has not seen much use yet.

  - The '**' logic may be confusing, especially when
prepending '**' with something.

  - The subject isn't modified to reflect ignored files
(May be a feature :)

  - There is no 'IGNORED' indicator in the diff output
(Probably a feature :)

  - The string.split(filespec, ",") now occurs in two
places.

.cvsignore serves a completely different purpose. This -i
option is for ignoring (for instance) autogenerated files
that *should* be in CVS, but you don't want to see the
updates of. 'configure', for example, which is usually
autogenerated from configure.in.

Couldn't the .cvsignore files help here?

[Cvs-syncmail] using syncmail on a Windows cvsnt server

[Ametrano F. <Ame...@mp...>]

Hi all

I've asked my company to install CVS for our small development team. =
We've got a CVSNT server on a windows machine. The only problem I have =
is syncmail is not working because it requires the pwd Python library, =
which is non available under Windows.=20

Is there a patch/work-around available? Or is there any decent =
alternative to syncmail for Windows CVS servers?

thank you in advance for your help
