Support the suppress_if_match option from old svn-mailer #35
Conversation
suppress_if_match is/was used to suppress emails if a later mailer section also matches the current svn event, thus allowing the first section(s) to act as a fallback if no other, more specific section matches. This brings back that functionality, avoiding duplicate emails for configurations that make use of suppress_if_match

Just curious. What is the "old svn-mailer"? I can't find this option in mailer.py (I tried to bisect the history up to gstein's work 2023/2024) but couldn't find it. Is it some ASF/Infra-local version? |

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27061, there is a link to the version I used to generate the patch. |

The original work, I believe, is https://opensource.perlig.de/svnmailer/ which also explains how suppress_if_match works |

Ugh, this is not nice. Remove the if.
self._last_group_re.append((group,
re.compile(for_paths),
exclude_paths_re,
params,
search_logmsg_re,
# Ignore if already matched
suppress_if_match == 'yes'))
Also, what guarantee is there that the true-value of suppress_if_match can only be yes? All I see is a new config option used in the code. Needs updated documentation in mailer.conf.example.

Belay that suggested code change, I'm blind. The docco request stands, though.

Fix function argument indentation, please.
