[csw-maintainers] submitpkg in cswutils-1.14.5

[Maciej (Matchek) Blizinski]

I wrote a utility to automate the step of submitting a package to the
release maintainer. It takes a comma-separated list of package names,
copies the packages from the testing directory to newpkgs and formats
an e-mail with the list of package files.

Usage: submitpkg [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PKGNAMES, --pkgnames=PKGNAMES
                        A comma-separated list of pkgnames
  -d, --debug           Print debugging messages

It doesn't send the e-mail. It only formats it and lets the user edit
it. Upon exit, it tells how to send the e-mail (sendmail -t <file>).

submitpkg is configurable. A system-wide configuration file is
accepted: /etc/opt/csw/releases.ini -- the user-specific configuration
file is in ~/.releases.ini. Example configuration:

; A configuration file for the release automation script
[releases]
sender name = Maciej Blizinski
sender email = <email>
release manager name = Phil Brown
release manager email = <email>
release cc = <email>
; Usually it's /home/testing
package dir = /home/testing
target host = bender
target dir = /home/newpkgs

And... yes, it's not GAR-specific. :-)

Any comments, thoughts or flames?
