Hi! Are the xxx-cvs mailing lists set up to get CVS messages automatically or are they just named like that and not different from other mailing lists? I ask because I've just imported the RDNZL project into the c-l.net repository but there's no message at <http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/rdnzl-cvs/>. How do I configure this list to send messages whenever the CVS repository changes? Thanks, Edi.

Good question, actually; I don't know what is happening there. It should be automatically configured for this. I'll look into it. Regards, Mario.

Looking at the configuration of rdnzl-cvs, it seems that everything gets moderated, and if a message is on hold for moderation it gets automagically discarded. So, for some reason, rdnzl-cvs seems to be a black hole :-) This is a theory, anyways. The relevant settings are # means "Yes": default_member_moderation = 1 # 2 = "Discard" member_moderation_action = 2 which might be the explanation. Please let me know whether changing this changes anything (this is somewhere under "Privacy" in the mailman config panel). I could also change it myself if you want. Regards, Mario.

Hmm, these are the settings I also use for the xxx-announce mailing lists and they work fine there. The idea is that only I can post messages and spam gets discarded automatically. (I had to cope with significant amounts of spam on cl-ppcre-announce and friends when I used more liberal settings.) I guess the automatic CVS messages are sent my some other user? Which one is it? Can I subscribe him? Feel free to make changes to the mailing list settings if that helps to make the list work like it should. Thanks, Edi.

Well, any commit message appears as a message from a member. What seems to be happening is that these messages get piped to /dev/null together with all the spam. BTW, spam should not be a real problem on our server. The antispam measures were implemented around mid december 2004; you might want to check the spam level of e.g. the admin list, which is unmoderated. The lack of spam before that date is due to me manually removing all of it back then.

The user@common-lisp.net that commits.

Ok, I'll fix it. Regards, Mario.

Only the latter is right, of course.

Ok, I changed that settings, and autoapproved anything that comes from common-lisp.net. Seems to work: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/rdnzl-cvs/2005-January/thread.html Regards, Mario.
