great, all that helps. Im planning on putting in options for the following:
add in a gaze what <spell> feature to automatically put that in the email.
the option to use the default editor instead of cat for the real message.
bz2 and gz extensions.
option to choose New, Updated, Modified etc tags to the subject instead of
just New
keep the tarball around after submitting, or delete it, as well as choose
where it ends up if you keep it
fix the bug so it will work from any directory, not just the parent
specify the mailing list address
choose the email address from the maintainer list to use, or none at all (not
sure how this should work yet)
based on the traffic about bugzilla not actually to be used for spell submits
i wont work on that feature right now. Of course if someone threw together
some functions that talked to bugzilla i'd add that in.
Since there appears to be some interest in this project I will keep the
script at ftp://thefrayedknot.armory.com/submit if anybody wants the latest
bleeding edge version. Major changes I'll post to the list if no one is
opposed to that.
