From: markus schnalke Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 16:46:27 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Replaced sendfiles with a simpler version that uses send instead of viamail. X-Git-Tag: mmh-thesis-end~356 X-Git-Url: http://git.marmaro.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e82199cf3c991a173e0ac8aa776efdb3ded61e6;p=mmh Replaced sendfiles with a simpler version that uses send instead of viamail. Also moved it from etc/ to uip/. Updated man pages. Note: The splitting of large messages by sendfile/viamail/or elsewhere seems not to be available anymore, although it had been documented in the man page. Either the man pages don't match the code or I've not found this function yet. --- diff --git a/etc/Makefile.in b/etc/Makefile.in index 5de4e41..10111e7 100644 --- a/etc/Makefile.in +++ b/etc/Makefile.in @@ -42,12 +42,7 @@ STATIC_FILES = components digestcomps distcomps forwcomps \ scan.timely scan.unseen # templates and scripts from which non-static files are generated -GENERATED_FILE_SRCS = mhn.defaults.sh mhn.find.sh sendfiles.in - -# scripts generated using above GENERATED_FILE_SRCs; don't add binaries -# to this list, as they'll get installed with INSTALL_SCRIPT and won't -# be stripped. -GENERATED_BIN_FILES = sendfiles +GENERATED_FILE_SRCS = mhn.defaults.sh mhn.find.sh # non-scripts generated using above GENERATED_FILE_SRCs GENERATED_ETC_FILES = mhn.defaults @@ -60,23 +55,13 @@ DIST = $(STATIC_FILES) $(GENERATED_FILE_SRCS) $(AUX) # ========= DEPENDENCIES FOR BUILDING ========== -all: $(GENERATED_BIN_FILES) $(GENERATED_ETC_FILES) +all: $(GENERATED_ETC_FILES) mhn.defaults: $(srcdir)/mhn.defaults.sh $(MHNSEARCHPROG) rm -f $@ $(srcdir)/mhn.defaults.sh $(MHNSEARCHPATH) $(MHNSEARCHPROG) > $@ -sendfiles: $(srcdir)/sendfiles.in Makefile - rm -f $@ - $(SED) -e 's,%libdir%,$(libdir),' < $(srcdir)/sendfiles.in > $@ - -install: install-bin-files install-etc-files - -install-bin-files: - $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) - for script in $(GENERATED_BIN_FILES); do \ - $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $$script $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$script; \ - done +install: install-etc-files install-etc-files: $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(DESTDIR)$(etcdir) @@ -98,12 +83,7 @@ install-etc-files: fi; \ done -uninstall: uninstall-bin-files uninstall-etc-files - -uninstall-bin-files: - for script in $(GENERATED_BIN_FILES); do \ - rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$script; \ - done +uninstall: uninstall-etc-files uninstall-etc-files: for file in $(STATIC_FILES) $(GENERATED_ETC_FILES); do \ @@ -116,7 +96,7 @@ mostlyclean: rm -f *~ clean: mostlyclean - rm -f $(GENERATED_ETC_FILES) $(GENERATED_BIN_FILES) + rm -f $(GENERATED_ETC_FILES) distclean: clean rm -f Makefile diff --git a/etc/sendfiles.in b/etc/sendfiles.in deleted file mode 100755 index 5582b2a..0000000 --- a/etc/sendfiles.in +++ /dev/null @@ -1,81 +0,0 @@ -#!/bin/sh -# -# Send multiples files and/or directories as a tar/compressed -# image, in a MIME message. -# - -FROM= - -# compression method (none, gzip or compress) -METHOD=none -# compression filter -COMPRESS=cat -# uncompression filter -UNCOMPRESS=cat -# compression description to append to content-type -CONVERSION= - -# default compression method based on installed software -# prefer compress over gzip for backward compatibility -if command -v compress >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then - METHOD=compress -elif command -v gzip >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then - METHOD=gzip -fi - -# handle command-line options to override compression method -while [ $# -gt 3 ]; do - case "$1" in - -gzip) - METHOD=gzip - shift - ;; - -compress) - METHOD=compress - shift - ;; - -none) - METHOD=none - shift - ;; - *) - break - ;; - esac -done - -# set variables based on chosen compression method -if [ $METHOD = compress ]; then - COMPRESS=compress - UNCOMPRESS=uncompress - CONVERSION="; x-conversions=compress" -elif [ $METHOD = gzip ]; then - COMPRESS="gzip -c" - UNCOMPRESS="gzip -dc" - CONVERSION="; x-conversions=gzip" -fi - -if [ ! -z "$PERSON" ]; then - FROM="-from $PERSON" -fi - -if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then - echo 'usage: sendfiles: "mailpath" "subject-string" directory-or-file ...' 1>&2 - exit 1; -fi - -mailpath="$1" -echo "mailpath = $mailpath" 1>&2 -shift - -subject="$1" -echo "subject-string = $subject" 1>&2 -shift - -echo "files = $*" 1>&2 - -tar cvf - "$@" | $COMPRESS | \ - %libdir%/viamail -to "$mailpath" -subject "$subject" \ - -parameters "type=tar$CONVERSION" \ - -comment "extract with $UNCOMPRESS | tar xvpf -" \ - -verbose $FROM diff --git a/man/mhstore.man1 b/man/mhstore.man1 index ddb43f8..395b76a 100644 --- a/man/mhstore.man1 +++ b/man/mhstore.man1 @@ -312,6 +312,48 @@ are combined in the correct order.
