RE: CVS Mail Newbie quaestion

[Vijay Mishra]

Ok I downloaded both the files and placed the files in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/
directory 

And done the follwing steps as status in doLog file

1. Appended the log file with the following statement

"DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/doLog --user $USER %p %s" (>=cvs 1.12.x). 
        I putted (>=cvs 1.12.12) I believe x was the revison number of CVS.
Correct me If I am wring

2. Created one more directory in $CVSROOT/log

3. touch $CVSROOT/log/commitlog (I have created the empty commitlog because
as such there was no file in this folder.)

4. chown mishravijay $CVSROOT/log/commitlog (now by doing so I am the owner
of this file. Will it work for other users also? All CVS users have a
different login account)

5. chmod 775 $CVSROOT/log/commitlog

6. touch $CVSROOT/log/filelog (I have created the empty filelog because as
such there was no file in this folder.)

7. chown mishravijay $CVSROOT/log/filelog 

8. chmod 775 $CVSROOT/log/filelog


Now my question is where should I specify the user which has to get mail
notifications on commit. And how to configure the accumMail file also.
Please let me know if there is any detail article avaible for these
configuration. 

I am very much new to the Linux enviornment. Please help

Thanks a lot

Best Regards
Vijay Mishra

Look on cvsenhancements.sourceforge.net.  For emailing, I use two perl
scripts I found there.

The first script is doLog.  It's the hook to send an email.  You can control
who gets emailed on a directory-by-directory basis.  CVS will call it once
for each directory in which you've made commits.  Unfortunately, you get a
kind of spamming effect when you commit from multiple directories at once.

That problem is solved by the second script, accumMail.  It will defer and
accumulate emails generated by doLog.  As a result, a commit within multiple
directories will produce just one email with all the commit information,
delayed by a time you can control.
