[Tcllib-devel] On Ticket Notifications

[Andreas K. <and...@ac...>]

People should again see ticket/bug notification mails sent to the mailing lists
    tcl...@li... and
    tcl...@li...
(I saw a few over the long weekend)

The Tcl scripts responsible for their creation can be found in the
fossil repository
    http://core.tcl.tk/akupries/fossil2git/

The relevant files are
    bin/watch-*
    doc/watch.txt
    doc/Watch.md

The way these scripts are written everybody can use them to watch any
set of repositories of interest to them. They only use fossil's public
web APIs to access a repository. Notifications are currently send for
ticket changes (including new tickets), and when attachments are made
to a ticket. While the scripts can be extended to recognize commits as
well, this is currently not done as we have a working system for the
commit notifications already. I want to see the watch scripts working
for a while before having them subsume the existing commitbot.

For tcl(lib)-bugs the scripts are running on core.tcl.tk.
Their cron-job is set to check for changes every quarter hour on all
main (*) repositories on this machine.

(Ad *): I.e. The repositories under akupries/, or any other personal
repositories are not checked by the scripts on core.tcl.tk.
          As the akupries/* are my personal ones I am checking these
from my home machine.
