Hi,
As part of the procmail retirement I announce on March 1st, the email notification hook used by the old Gitolite server to notify users of new patches started breaking in odd and unpredictable ways:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40653 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40659
I have tried to fix this by deploying `reformail` as a `formail` replacement, but that ultimately failed as well. In the end, I deployed a newer mailing hook called "git-multimail":
https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail
After a brief test period inside TPA, all repositories have been switched over to the new hook today. You might notice a different email template. It's also possible you receive more email than before.
If there's any significant problem with the new hook, do let us know in the usual place:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/support
There is no clear list of changes since the last hook, because the hook we were using was an in-house version with no corresponding upstream version. That said, it was fairly similar to the defunct `post-receive-email` hook, and there *is* a list of differences between git-multimail and that, which you can read here:
https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/blob/master/git-multimail/REA...
That's about it, thank you for your attention and have a nice day,
a.
