Should support mail notification of new and changed pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hmm, should be easy to implement this.. it runs as a svn post-coommit hook
|
||
|
|
already, so just look at the userdb, svnlook at what's changed, and send
|
||
|
|
mails to people who have subscribed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few details:
|
||
|
|
1. [[Joey]] mentioned that being able to subscribe to globs as well as
|
||
|
|
explicitly named pages would be desirable.
|
||
|
|
2. I think that since we're using Perl on the backend, being able to
|
||
|
|
let users craft their own arbitrary regexes would be good.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Joey points out that this is actually a security hole, because Perl
|
||
|
|
regexes let you embed (arbitrary?) Perl expressions inside them. Yuck!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It would also be good to be able to subscribe to all pages except discussion pages or the SandBox: `* !*/discussion !sandobx`, maybe --[[Joey]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Of course if you do that, you want to have form processing on the user
|
||
|
|
page that lets them tune it, and probably choose literal or glob by
|
||
|
|
default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think that the new globlist() function should do everything you need.
|
||
|
|
Adding a field to the prefs page will be trivial --[[Joey]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first cut, I suppose, could use one sendmail process to batch-mail all
|
||
|
|
subscribers for a given page. However, in the long run, I can see users
|
||
|
|
demanding a bit of feature creep:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Each user should be able to tune whether they see the actual diff parts or
|
||
|
|
not.
|
||
|
|
5. Each user should be able to set a maximum desired email size.
|
||
|
|
6. We might want to support a user-specified shibboleth string that will be
|
||
|
|
included in the email they receive so they can easily procmail the messages
|
||
|
|
into a folder.
