This should generate a `sjdb-%s.html` - file where `%s` is the next day. -- Run `sendmail.py`. - -### Running automatically - -- `make` builds and sends tomorrow's bulletin -- `make <YYYY-MM-DD>` builds and sends the bulletin for the specified day -- Note that the build script only runs `weekly.py` if the target day is a Monday +Note that you are expected to be in the build directory when running. -## GitHub Mirror - -Because many contributors use GitHub, there is a -[GitHub mirror](https://github.com/runxiyu/sjdb-src) -**which may lag behind the other repositories a little**. -You are advised to send patches to the -[public mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~runxiyu/sjdb) -to -[submit patches](https://git-send-email.io) -whenever possible, but if you must use GitHub, you could submit a pull -request, and it will be automatically converted and sent to the mailing -list as a patch, by a [Webhook](https://git.runxiyu.org/runxiyu/current/hybrid.git/tree/hybrid.py). +- `generate` builds and sends tomorrow's bulletin +- `generate <YYYY-MM-DD>` builds and sends the bulletin for the specified day ## Maintainers * Runxi Yu * Wilson Shu + +## Mirrors + +* <https://git.runxiyu.org/ykps/sjdb-src.git/> +* <https://git.sr.ht/~runxiyu/sjdb-src/> +* <https://github.com/runxiyu/sjdb-src/> |
