contrib/hooks/post-receive-email used to call the send_mail function (and thus, /usr/sbin/sendmail), even if generate_mail generated no output.

Therefore, we now read one line ourselves and use the result to decide if we really want to call /usr/sbin/sendmail. --- contrib/hooks/post-receive-email | 11 +++++++++++ 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) Two things changed: - we do not read the whole mail in a shell variable - the decision whether to call sendmail is based on the output generated by generate_mail, not its return code diff --git a/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email b/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email index 2a66063..c855c31 100755 --- a/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email +++ b/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email @@ -637,6 +637,16 @@ show_new_revisions() send_mail() { + OIFS=$IFS + IFS=' +' + read FIRSTLINE || exit 1 + (printf $FIRSTLINE'\n'; cat) | call_sendmail + IFS=$OLD_IFS +} + +call_sendmail() +{ if [ -n "$envelopesender" ]; then /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f "$envelopesender" else @@ -644,6 +654,7 @@ send_mail() fi } + # ---------------------------- main() # --- Constants -- 1.6.3.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
