One thing it occurs to me to ask is what will be happening to CVS commit messages, once the switchover to darcs happens?
I originally wrote this script as a temporary fix until darcs supported post-apply hooks. If it does now, perhaps there's no need for the wrapper, and instead a mail program can be invoked by darcs itself as a hook (i.e. just the core of darcs-mail can be `hooked').
Ah, yes I have just upgraded to darcs 1.05 (from 1.03), and there are posthooks available for every command now. However, there is one wrinkle that means we can't use a stripped-down version of your darcs-mail script directly. The command invoked by the posthook does not, AFAICS, get to look at the patch bundle. This means the posthook can only report a single patch per bundle, something like this: darcs changes -s --last=1 | mail -s "darcs commit" `cat mailinglist` where previously, the --last argument could in fact determine a fully accurate count of patches contained in the bundle. I'm not sure from the documentation whether multiple patches are normally submitted simultaneously from one repository to another, but I suspect the answer is yes. Any ideas? Regards, Malcolm
