I've written a patch for Mailman's list archiver that links FreeBSD formatted cvs commit messages to cvsweb much like FreeBSD's original list archiver (it's even a bit better at figuring out what to link to). For an example of it in action, see the list archives at http://cvs.tortall.net/pipermail/yasm-cvs/, specific examples include: - Branches (and new files): http://cvs.tortall.net/pipermail/yasm-cvs/2003-June/000032.html - Deleted files: http://cvs.tortall.net/pipermail/yasm-cvs/2003-May/000009.html I would think it would be highly desirable to get this feature into the FreeBSD installation of Mailman, but even if it's not integrated there, there may be other users (like me) out there for which this patch might be useful. Installation: 1. Apply the patch from <http://cvs.tortall.net/HyperArch.py.diff>; to the Mailman installation (typically /usr/local/mailman). 2. Add a pointer to the cvsweb host in Mailman/mm_cfg.py such as: CVSWEB = 'http://cvsweb.freebsd.org' 3. Re-archive cvs lists using bin/arch --wipe {listname}. Notes: - The CVSWEB definition is required; additional filtering is disabled until this is defined in mm_cfg.py. - The filter is only applied to messages in lists matching ".*cvs.*" and messages within those lists matching "^cvs commit[:]". This can be changed by editing the patch. - The cvs commit messages themselves must be formatted similarly to the FreeBSD commit messages (primarily the Revision/Changes/Path portion) Comments welcome. Please CC me, as I'm not subscripted to freebsd-www. -- Peter Johnson peter@tortall.net
