Re: using blat to mail a group at each commit

[Derek R. Price]

how about:

    Blat $1 -s "CVS notification" -t `grep ^$user:
uid-to-group-email.txt |awk -F: '{print $2}'`?

It might be slightly less maintenance to associate a UNIX group the user
is a member of with the project email their changes cause mail to be
sent to.  That might be slightly more complicated if a user is a member
of more than one group.

Why not just pass a project email into the script depending on what dir
the commit was to?  Like so:

    project1     bash $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvs-log
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/updatelog \
address@hidden
    project2     bash $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvs-log
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/updatelog \
address@hidden

and keep those aliases up to date with the addresses of everyone working
on each project?
