		README for shipper

shipper automates the tedious process of shipping a software release to
several standard places, including ibiblio, the Red Hat submission directory,
and your own hosted website.  It also knows how to post a release announcement
to freshmeat.net via freshmeat-submit.  Two auxiliary tools, buildrpms and 
rpm2lsm, build RPMs and generate LSM files from them respectively.

ipt which integrates with fetchmail <http://fetchmail.berlios.de/> and allows the user to specify the number of days that mail should remain on the pop3 server before being deleted. It is released under the GNU GPL <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>. Usage: Set up fetchmail to run with keep and uidl options. Edit the mold_remover.py file to specify the mailserver address and login/password details. Also specify the UIDL file created by fetchmail (this is created automatically by fetchmail when uidl option is selected in the fetchmailrc file usually at /var/mail/.fetchmail-UIDL-cache). Remember to chmod the moldremover script to 700 so that passwords cannot be read. Next, edit the field to set how many days you want the mail to be left on the server. Lastly create a script to run moldremover.py with python which can either be run as a cron job or as part of your connection script. It is advisable to stop fetchmail before mold remover is run and then to restart fetchmail afterwards. Here is an example /etc/cron.daily/ script: #!/bin/bash /etc/init.d/fetchmail stop >> /var/log/messages /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/mold_remover.py >> /var/log/messages /etc/init.d/fetchmail start >> /var/log/messages Please feel free to email me (jmstone@dsl.pipex.com) if you have any questions or bugfixes!
