RE: Informing others about commits

[Tracy Brown]

Thomas, here's how I might do it:

First I would modify the commitinfo file in the CVSROOT and add a line to
execute a script. For example:
   
ALL /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/bin/commit-validation.sh $USER

Second I would write a simple hash table (email.hash) with the module name
and the email address of the person email should be sent to. For example:

module1    address@hidden
module2    address@hidden
module3    address@hidden
etc...etc...

Third I would write the following script and save it to the path noted in
the commitinfo file:

####
#! /usr/bin/ksh

homedir=/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/bin
username=${1}
filename=${3}
modulename=$(print $2 | cut -d '/' -f 5)
logdate=$(date '+%m%d%y')

print "CVS Username: ${username}" > ${homedir}/email.hopper
print "CVS Module: ${modulename}" >> ${homedir}/email.hopper
print "Modification Date: ${logdate}" >> ${homedir}/email.hopper

email=$(nawk "/^${modulename}/ { print \$2 }" < ${homedir}/email.hash)
mailx -s"${modulename} - modified" ${email} < ${homedir}/email.hopper

exit 0
####

Of course, this is a simplified version of a more robust mail serving
process that is possible through the loginfo file where you can grab the
entire contents of the log message and mail it to someone.

Hope this helps... Cheers, Tracy.

Hello,
don't you know where is described (with details if it's possible) creating
of scripts?
I need email to be send to concrete people, after the concrete event (mostly
commit or add and delete). To which people, it dependes on which modul was
commited.
I know that the file 'loginfo' serves to it, but from the available help I
didn't realize exactly, how should the content of this file look.

Next question: Where can I edit in CVS SMTP address of my server.

Thanks for every help.

Tomas
