Marie,

Yes - the documentation is here:

CVSNT is an open source replacement for CVS. CVSNT is the default CVS client
for WinCVS and TortoseCVS and runs on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac and more...

You can trap the complete log output by calling a script at every commit on a 
particular module. I have the following line in my loginfo file. The script put the 
STDIN to the email by calling the cat command without parameter and in forward quote 
``


My logingo file below:

 ^modulename /home/CVS/commitmail modulename [EMAIL PROTECTED]



and my /home/CVS/commitmail script look like this

You need to create a workspace where you check out CVSROOT,
there you can edit the administration file and check it back in. 

mkdir work; cd work
cvs co CVSROOT

When you check it in, cvs will rebuild it's administration database to 
activate you change on the server.

cvs checkout CVSROOT/notify
edit notify
cvs commit

Because the notify file is one of the CVS special administrative files,
CVS will commit to the ,v form, and also create a plain-text form in
CVSROOT.

Do not edit the plain-text form in CVSROOT, you have CVS installed so
you may as well get revision control on the administrative files.

(Exception: don't checkout CVSROOT/passwd)

All of this is explained in the 'Administrative Files' node of info cvs.

notification or not (with help Watch add command).
If it is possible, please give me advice. Minutely, if you can.

P.S. I supposed, that I only write one line to 'notify' file to right
working on NT server. For examle:

ALL postie -to:%s -msg:"Parameters, which I ask you"

Is possible it?

If you have a cm account (or even a dummy account that can be controlled by cm if
cm does checkins) have that account do a 
cvs watch add -a commit
at the head of your tree and then change your 'notify' file to
ALL postie -to:ALL_MY_PROJECT -msg:"Parameters, which I ask you"

where ALL_MY_PROJECT is an alias on your mail host to everyone in your group, this
will force it out to everyone.  My preference though has always been to leave the
-to: as -to:%s and request that everyone on the project run cvs watch add -a
commit in the directories they may be changing, that way if it is a big project
they are not getting hundreds of emails a day for directories that may/do not
affect them.

 Just like an HTTP POST form submission.  Then you don't have to remember
 which 2037 arguments to add to the script invocation in the *info file,
 and the script's environment isn't filled up unless the script wants it
 to be.

CGI data comes in on STDIN?  Huh.  I programmed them for a year or so using the Perl 
libraries and never
realized that.  Let's hear it for high-level languages.  :)


 So here's an example (the following would show up on stdin of the
 commitinfo program, let's say):

 
dir=foofilespec=a%7c1.2%7c1.3%7cOLD_TAGfilespec=b%7c1.1%7c1.2%7cOLD_TAGcvsroot=wherever

 Running this through a standard URL unescaper (perl -MCGI -e 'print
 
unescape("dir=foofilespec=a%7c1.2%7c1.3%7cOLD_TAGfilespec=b%7c1.1%7c1.2%7cOLD_TAGcvsroot=wherever");')
 yields:

Hmm.  Two things:

1)  I think XML might still be preferable to CGI.  It would provide a more expandable 
way to encapsulate the
data.  For example, even though the script was set up to handle a single directory at 
a time, a change in
the CVS source (and perhaps a switch in a config file) could start passing data on 
multiple directories
without changing the DTD and maybe not changing the hung script.

2)  CGI or XML, it's also going to drastically increase the cost of entry of creating 
a new script to hang
as I'm not familiar with any CGI or XML libraries written in/for Bourne shells.  I 
_do_think there is a
simple solution to this, which is to write a simple sourcable one ourselves and 
install it into
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT.  Then a minimal Bourne shell script that wanted to use any data 
passed by CVS would look
something like (I'm using callbacks since I think it's more expandable):

#!/bin/sh
# an example commitinfo script
. some_access_functions
do_file()
{
if user_has_access checkin $repository $directory $file; then
:
else
exit 1
fi
}
. $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/get_data_and_run

I suppose get_data_and_run wouldn't have to use callback hooks, but I like that model 
better.

to use the new data
transfer methods new hook files would be set up.  Say, *info2 rather than *info.  Then 
if the *info2 had a

In five years or so the *info code could probably even be disabled.  :)

 I'm using WinNT server, clients Win9x with WinCVS 1.1b16

I've seen a few requests lately for this kind of thing so I thought
I would send out a reminder that there's a patch against 1.11 (NOT the
NT version) which provides some hooks to pass new information through
the *info files at
http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/ccvs.newfmtstrings.1-11.diff .

Theres the same code plus a new *info hook for filtering an rcsinfo
template _before_ the user sees it in an editor at
http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/ccvs.tmpltfilterinfo.final.diff ,
but it's incomplete.  The filter is currently running on the client and
should be running on the server.

There have been a few discussions lately about this kind of thing as
well, including one that suggested always providing all available
information for a hook in environment variables, similar to CGI, but I'm
not sure now that this patch isn't a better solution since it should be
harder to accidentally fill up a child's environment memory since an
administrator could pare the args going to a script when they _didn't_
want all the data.  Of course, maybe some sort of pipe to squirt all the
data through as XML would be even better than that but I'm not sure I

Re: notify file in sandbox's CVS directory...

2000-05-08 Thread Noel L Yap

CVS/notify is created by "cvs commit" (when unediting), "cvs edit", "cvs
release" (when unediting), and "cvs unedit".  It's part of the client/server
protocol.

When using it in conjunction with "cvs add", it works fine under the normal
rsh-connect client/server setup.  I don't know how it behaves under pserver.

Also, I don't know what'll happen in the following:
cvs add file
cvs edit file
cvs rm file
cvs ci # assuming other stuff has changed

Although I do know that:
cvs add file
cvs edit file
cvs rm file
cvs unedit file

will give you something like, "nothing known about..."

I hope this provides enough to track down the problem.

Noel

PS
One of my TODO's is to allow the editing and unediting of unknown files.  Such a

Subject:  notify file in sandbox's CVS directory...





I have recently run into a rather odd instance of a notify file
causing problems in the CVS directory of a users sandbox... What I
would like to know is what might cause the creation of a notify file
in a users sandbox and what it's purpose is...

The problem started when a user was attempting to add files to the
repository, the pserver was reporting a 'nothing known about...' error
response.

Pertinent version info:
Client - jCVS 5.1.1, JRE1.2, win2K 2195, intel
Server - Redhat Linux 6.1 (sort of =), cvs 1.10.8, pserver, intel

The Notify file in CVSROOT is just comments, but watches are on for
the project...

The contents of the file are as follows:
--- begin paste ---
ESection_One.htmThu Apr 13 14:07:23 2000 GMT remote.via.jCVS
./FuncSpec/SectionOne/
---  end paste  ---

Is this a jCVS client issue, or does the c/s protocol require the
creation of such files?  Any help would be appreciated as in the
future I would like to avoid whatever caused it... =)

Scott
