# [PATCH v6] send-email: Add sendmail email aliases format 2 messages from 2015-05-26 to 2015-05-27. Participants: Allen Hubbe, Junio C Hamano. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/39429 ## Allen Hubbe, 2015-05-26 21:32 Subject: [PATCH v6] send-email: Add sendmail email aliases format Message-ID: <950e3a77f09d62f77c9a40c843284b3686bdb7b0.1432675817.git.allenbh@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/950e3a77f09d62f77c9a40c843284b3686bdb7b0.1432675817.git.allenbh%40gmail.com ``` Add support for the sendmail email aliases format. Synopsis: : [, ...] Example: alice: Alice W Land bob: Robert Bobbyton # this is a comment # this is also a comment chloe: chloe@example.com abgroup: alice, bob bcgrp: bob, chloe, Other Quoted aliases and quoted addresses are not supported. Line continuations are not supported. Warnings are printed for explicitly unsupported constructs, and any other lines that are not matched by the parser. Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe --- Notes: This v6 makes the following changes from v5: * In the documentation: ** Move 'sendmail' to the end of the list of formats. ** Remove the description, synopsis, and example of sendmail aliases. ** Specify exceptions to the sendmail format as a sub-definition. ** Note: A general 'where to find documentation' paragraph will be added by Junio, appearing either before or after this patch in the series. * Changes to the parser: ** Reword a comment to mention blank lines and comment lines. ** Resolve inconsistent use of the keyword `next` by not using it. ** Use non-greedy quantifier in the capture group for the alias name. ** Use greedy quantifier in the capture group for email addresses. * Changes to the test case: ** Test alias input is written to the current dir, not the home dir. ** Note: A fix to other tests to eliminate the use of tilde for the home dir will be added by Junio, appearing either before or after this patch in the series.

You didn't have to do this to me; as long as you agree with me that the paragraph is a good thing to have, it is OK (and even more preferable) to include it in this patch. That's called collaboration. If other person's contribution was really significant and the change can stand on its own, then a split two-patch series with the author set to the other person may not be a bad idea, and if other person's contribution was really significant but the change by the other person cannot stand on its own, "Helped-by" in the log message would be sufficient. My contribution in this case is much less than that. > ** Note: A fix to other tests to eliminate the use of tilde for the home > dir will be added by Junio, appearing either before or after this > patch in the series. That is a sensible thing to do, as it does not relate to this change. Thanks. Will queue and let's start merging this topic to 'next' and down. ```
