mailer.py style daily summary of commits

[Adolf Schwarz <ad...@gmx.at>]

Hi,

I am running a SVN server with several repositories and the mailer.py 
script to notify all users of commits.

Sometimes one user does several commits a day, flooding all other users 
with commit e-mail messages. That's annoying, since one message for all 
commits would be enough.

It would be better if everyone gets only one daily summary about the 
changes in the repository. I am aware that would not be a hook, but a 
script run by taskplaner or cronjob.

I am running on Windows Server 2003 with Apache2, PHP, Python, Mysql.

Is there any existing solution for that?

regards,
Adolf Schwarz

Yes, a very easy way would be to install mailman 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html>. Mailman just uses python, 
which you already have installed, I'm not sure what other dependencies is 
has. Anyway, you just need mailing list software that supports message 
digests.

Then, just point your mail at a list with the appropriate people subscribed 
in digest mode. This way you also have the flexibility of each user either 
getting digest versions, or getting each individual e-mail--whichever they 
prefer.
