It’s just data

Auto Detach


As part of a continuing (excruciatingly slow, but continuing) effort to automate what currently is a labor intensive activity at the ASF, I’ve written a small script that downloads mbox files, determines what hasn’t been processed yet, detaches all the relevant attachments, and commits them to svn for processing by others.  I’ve omitted one detail (the mechanism for downloading: hint rsync), but perhaps this script may be of use to others.
