You can filter commit messages by creating a filter control
file on freefall.freebsd.org in /home/dillon/filters.
Create the file <YOURUSERNAME> in /home/dillon/filters. Note that the
only file the filter will recognize is your username. If the program
becomes universal we will create a special userid on freefall allowing
the sysads to create filters for mailing aliases as well (like 're').
/home/dillon/filters/<YOURUSERNAME>.
MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS MODES 644 OR DFILTER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ IT!
There is a sample filter in:
/home/dillon/filters/SAMPLE
/home/dillon/filters/dillon
You can also look at my filter, but note that my filter is slightly more
complex because I have to avoid creating a loop in my forward file :-)
Still, it may be useful for you. Note that you will receive the
original commit message as well as the filtered commit message. You
need to use procmail to separate them. It's easy to do, though.
The README and source for the program is shown below. Note that I am
running this program under my user id, you do not have to setup a procmail
filter or run this program yourself (except to test your filter), you
can simply create the appropriate file in /home/dillon/filters.
/home/dillon/dfilter/README
This is VERY ALPHA. I am still working on some things such as properly
emailing parse errors if your filter is broken.
I wound up not using the perl script. I found a cvs diff generator that
I had written a year or two ago and incorporated that into the filter
program.
Please test the filter. In particular note the variables you can do
wildcard comparisons against, such as $INBODY and $DIFF. You can also
do wildcard compares against mail headers. The filter is very powerful
and will become even more powerful as I get feedback.
