The files in contrib are there because some folks think they are useful. I have been programming with perl since version 3.0 was released to the net, so I don't have any problems reading it, but I do understand what you mean. If you have examples for commitinfo, verifyinfo, loginfo and taginfo scripts in some other language that you would like to contribute, by all means feel free to do it as long as you give it some kind of copyright license that allows it to be put into a cvs source distribution, I would have no problems seeing examples in shell, python, tcltk, c, or whatever other kind of language seems reasonable.

Well, contrib/README doesn't mention documentation, but that's the only part of "you're completely on your own" that it doesn't explicitly spell out :-) Larry, I've attached a patch to fix that (too trivial to be worth a ChangeLog entry IMO). -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the drum kit around during songs. - Patrick Lenneau Index: README === RCS file: /cvs/ccvs/contrib/README,v retrieving revision 1.18 diff -u -r1.18 README --- README 21 Nov 2002 19:04:38 - 1.18 +++ README 10 Dec 2003 02:26:20 - @@ -4,7 +4,8 @@ contributions are really, REALLY UNSUPPORTED.

Apparently so. It appears that you're expected to customize the log_accum script for your environment. In particular, look for the mlist_map subroutine, both the definition of which and the call are commented out. It appears that you need to set $mlist to the list of recipients somehow -- the commented out code provides one example but you can do it any way you like. The downside of that, of course, is that you *have* to do it, whether you want to or not. -Larry Jones Hey! What's the matter? Can't you take a joke?!

Larry, Larry, Larry,... Trust me. If you've never encountered constructs like @_, my,
local($wd, @files); scalars, arrays... (and btw, 'local' is not local, 'my' is
local...how cute), reading it is doable but tediously slow. I'm reminded of a
friend's admonition in college. He said: "Physics is easy, once you know it."

I've tried that and when I commit, I get the following messages:
Processing log script arguments...
Mailing the commit message to (from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
No recipient addresses found in header
which I guess means that $mail_to and its progenitor $addr_list in the
subroutine are not being set properlybut no hints as to how to
format those email addresses into loginfo...
General question: Is it really expected that EVERYONE that wants to set up and use
these contrib scripts have to read them, understand them and retro-engineer the inputs?
