Question

We have an environment were the svn credentials are Linux usernames, consisting of:
one letter of the firstname and 5 letters of the lastname.
However, we have eMailaddresses of the form [e-mail]. We have a way to tie the credential name to the eMailaddress with a script, however I do not know how to tell jenkins to use this script upon detecting a check in from a new user.

Is there an easy way to run a script to generate a user’s emailaddress upon the creation of a new user? Alternatively, calculating the eMailaddress each time the user is supposed to receive a mail would work too.

Answer 1

with the small pointers from askmish i came to this:

install email-ext

configure project to have editable email notification
edit the presend script to read something like:

import javax.mail.Message.RecipientType
msg.setRecipients(RecipientType.TO, '[e-mail]' )

You might want to do some output aswell, since otherwise only the wrong emailaddresses are displayed.
