Hello all, I am using CVSNT on a Linux platform in a group of ~30 developers. So far we managed to use it without any issues, so thanks a lot to all developers for this great product! Now to my question: I would like to set up an email notification for the commits/edits/unedits do by people using the "cvs watch" mechanism. The default "mail -s" support for this is pretty limited, i.e. the message doesn't show the file versions, nor the commit message. I have looked at the couple of externally contributed cvs mail scripts, including DevGuy's package, and couple of other which were announced in this list. However, they all suffer from a serious limitation: only pre-defined email addresses can be used. Whereas I am looking for the notifications to all the current file watchers. The CVSNT version I am using (2.058b) holds this information in an XML format (fileattr.xml) so the parsing is not so straightforward, and requires EXPAT library or something alike. I wonder if anyone else who also needed this functionality has any examples in C/Perl for such analysis, and maybe even has some scripts available under GPL or some other open source license. Thanks in advance for any pointers on this. Michael. ___________________________________________________________ Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Yahoo! Messenger http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
