Hello,
I have a question related to CVS update. Assume that a
repository, say A, exists. There are 5 engineers who have access to this
repository. Now, one of these engineers changes one of the files in
repository or creates a new directory in the repository. Is there a way
to have emails sent automatically to all these 5 engineers whenever a
change is made, including information on the type ofchange? Normally,
one would have to always do a CVS update on the local copy of the
repository to know if some files have been modified.
Regards,
Sharad Sinha.
I don't recall all the details of how, but the answer is yes.
The manual http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/ has these pages on the subject:
"Informing others about commits"
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs_10.html#SEC86
"Loginfo"
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs_18.html#SEC186
IIRC there is even an fairly extinctive example Loginfo script with the CVS
source, which your distribution may have included.
