I'm the same way.... I do all my email on this machine (over ssh) and all my squeak work on my machine. I use Pine to send, receive, and read emails... I SCP over any files I need, in both directions. And so far, I haven't had a problem.

So how do you send change sets to this mailing list?

I scp them from my machine to the host that I do email on, then attach them. (Its a lot nicer if you use SSH RSA authenticaation to auto-log-onto the mail host from your squeak machine. :)

I've just made and tested an alias that does this for me.. ('sqmail'. Note that it will probably fail if there's whitespace (or strange characters) in filenames.)

Pine can do attachments, but do you have to manually gzip the change sets?

I can... I usually don't.

If you want to gzip them, add something like:

ssh mailhost.foo.bar gzip ~/csSend/*.cs

to 'sqmail'... But you'll have to edit the part that makes the cut&paste command if you want the output to still be cut&pasteable. (See below)

Then with one line:

sqmail foo.cs bar.cs Fulltext*.cs /foo/bar/*.cs

I automatically copy those changesets into a folder on the mail host, then automatically echo a line I can cut&paste into Pine's 'Attachments' header that will attach them from that directory. :)

``csSend/FullText-DemoAdaptors.1.cs, csSend/FullText-DemoAdaptors.2.cs, csSend/FullText-DemoAdaptors.3.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.1.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.2.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.3.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.4.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.5.cs, csSend/FullText-Engines.6.cs'' (all one line, and ready to cut&paste)

I've also got a few other quick bash scripts.. For diff'ing changesets (to see what changed, which is GREAT), and for viewing them with something normal like 'less'.

Here are all 4:

sqless () { tr \015 \n <"$1" | less }

sqcat () { tr \015 \n <"$1" }

sqmail () { scp -C -v $* qwe3.math.cmu.edu:csSend/ ls $* | sed '-es%^(.*/)%%' | sed '-es%^%csSend/%' \ | tr \n ~ | sed -es/~/,\ \ /g }

sqdiff () { tr \015 \n <"$1" > /tmp/sq1 tr \015 \n <"$2" > /tmp/sq2 shift ; shift ; diff $* /tmp/sq1 /tmp/sq2 }

These are all bash scripts and work fine for me.

The last can be used to pass extra options to diff:

sqdiff foo.1.cs foo.2.cs -y # for side-by-side comparison. :) sqdiff foo.1.cs foo.2.cs -u # for context-aware diff to see what # changed and the surrounding context. sqdiff foo.1.cs foo.2.cs -U 8 # (same, but more context)

These are *really nice* when trying to compare changeset versions. Check your local 'diff' manpage for the other goodies. :)
