Submit Scripts

NOTE: Some of the behaviour described here will only be available as of Spring 2010

The CSCF submit program allows its behaviour to be modified in several predefined ways by external programs specified in .submitrc:

• A per-file filtering program that can reject submission of any files that satisfy certain criteria; specified with the file_filter option.
• Two post-submission hooks, one running as the course account and one as the requesting user, which can be used to take some sort of action after submission has been completed; specified with course_filter and user_filter respectively.

File filtering should be done in most courses with ISG's centralized SubmitFileFilter script. It allows complete behaviour override via any course-specific filter(s) while still exposing a standardized logging mechanism.

A user-level post-hook for automatic RSTPublicTests requesting and a course-level post-hook to maintain a subversion repository are coming down the pipe. This page should be edited appropriately - with any relevant cross-linking! - once this is in place.
