- add ctm_conf.gnats from freefall
- add support for doing both the immediate mailout and the queued mailout.
- use "sendmail -odq -t" rather than "sendamil -t" to make it queue to
the mailqueue rather than immediately begin transmission. This allows
us to take advantage of our ordered dequeueing system without blowing
WC's T1 to hell with a 50 part mailout in parallel.
- bump the max ctm size from 3MB to 10MB.... This is mainly for the fast
list.
of delta's to be mailed out every hour (or however often you schedule
the cron job).
ctm_dequeue is the cron job which takes the stuff from the
queue directory and punts it into sendmail. The chunks of
the deltas (and the complete deltas if they are that small)
are sorted into order before being dispatched, so the people
subscribing should still get the bits in the right order.
The changes to ctm_smail should be fairly safe as they won't be
activated unless you go for the new queue directory option.
Intended for sup mirrors etc. Not well tested yet.

opposed to 0644 or 0755). It's finally still masked by the process'
umask(2), and it does not make sense to restrict it further than that.
This (especially for mkdir(2)) was causing major headaches for the CVS
tree, since a member of group cvs was later not able to get cvs
checkout permission for the mirrored tree failed to write the lock file).
>Description:
ctm(1) sometimes did not free up all used resources (open pipes and
processes, heap memory). This happened whenever one of the passes
ended prematurely, and it became very apparent when running it on
a bunch of already applied deltas, resulting in a ``gunzip: resource
temporarily unavailable'' due to the maxproc # exhausted.
This patch fixes the concurrency problem, and adds a possibly useful -f switch
(which you can read about in the man page :-) ). It also removes the absolute
path from the invocation of ctm. I'll write a note about how to use a script
with sendmail and procmail or some such, and people can fix their PATH there.
BTW, this patch changes ctm_rmail.1, ctm_rmail.c and error.c in the ctm_rmail
directory.

I'm never going to generate one, so this is a guard against hackers mostly.
