questions about watch/notify
I want to have CVS notify me when someone else edits a file I'm editing, but also to notify the other editor that I am already doing so. I can't find a way to do this, so the first question is, have I missed something? Assuming I hadn't, I wrote a little perl script to do it for me, but now I can't manage to implement it. When I commit the notify file, CVS inserts extra text into my line, so ALL myscript $RCSfile$ %s becomes ALL myscript $RCSfile: notify,v$ %s and this generates an error as $RCSfile: doesn't exist. So my second question is, is this the right way to be doing this, and if so how do I prevent CVS from corrupting my command line? It changes all occurrences of $RCSfile$ in the file.

watch notify and editors/watchers
I'm using cvs 1.11. Sorry for the length but this requires the details. I
did RTFM and these issues persist. Reference cvs manual 10.6.2 and Chapter
6 in Fogel's CVS book.
There are two issues:
1) cvs watchers output looks wrong, and
2) notify isn't happening - what else can I do to debug this?
- I have watch turned on.
- the notify file has the line: ALL mail %s -s "CVS notification"
permissions on the file are 777. It does not need to be wide open but I
wanted to verify there was not a permissions problem.
- the users file has been added and it contains one line:
jschwenk:jschwenk@catwoman
permissions on the file are 666
NOTE: we do not have DNS turned on and catwoman resolves
correctly, I verified with an
"echo hello | mail jschwenk@catwoman"
and it worked.
In the cvs manual in section 10.6.2 and in Chapter 6 of Fogel's CVS book, it
says this should be all I need to be notified when someone edits a file I am
concerned about.
Here's the order I did things in as user jschwenk:
1. I added and committed the users file
2. added the users file to checkoutlist
3. uncommented the ALL mail %s -s "CVS notification" in the notify file
4. set watch on -R systema
set watch on -R rat
5. changed to user cvsadmin and checked out a file set and did a cvsedit on
two files within the rat. At this point jschwenk should have been sent an
email. Nothing. What else can I do to figure out why not? Notification is
critical, I'm developing in Oregon, USA and our counterpart is developing in
Germany.
6. checked the contents of fileattr for the rat files
Fsystema_watched=;_watchers=jschwenk>edit+unedit+commit
FRatComm.java _watched=;_editors=cvsadmin>Mon Dec 10 23:44:28 2001
GMT+pilot+/home/cvsadmin/RAT;_watchers=cvsadmin>tedit+tunedit+tcommit
FRatGuiPilot.java _watched=;_editors=cvsadmin>Mon Dec 10 23:44:28 2001
GMT+pilot+/home/cvsadmin/RAT;_watchers=cvsadmin>tedit+tunedit+tcommit
7. Did a cvs watchers and cvs editors. The watchers command should show
jschwenk as watching (see above fileattr contents)
/home/cvsadmin/RAT> cvs watchers
RatComm.javacvsadmintedit tunedit tcommit
RatGuiPilot.javacvsadmintedit tunedit tcommit
/home/cvsadmin/RAT> cvs editors
RatComm.javacvsadminMon Dec 10 23:44:28 2001 GMT
pilot /home/cvsadmin/RAT
RatGuiPilot.javacvsadminMon Dec 10 23:44:28 2001 GMT
pilot /home/cvsadmin/RAT
I was expecting to see the watcher be jschwenk NOT cvsadmin. I know as
cvsadmin that I have files checked out for edit, what I wanted was who was
watching the files. Is this a bug or did I misunderstand the goal of cvs
watchers?

problem with notify and use of "users" file

CGI data comes in on STDIN? Huh. I programmed them for a year or so using the Perl

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.

How about take a chapter out of the CGI/web book and shove all
parameters in url-encoded form on STDIN? Then people can use existing
code libraries/snippets to parse this string into name/value pairs.
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.
So here's an example (the following would show up on stdin of the
commitinfo program, let's say):
dir=foo&filespec=a%7c1.2%7c1.3%7cOLD_TAG&filespec=b%7c1.1%7c1.2%7cOLD_TAG&cvsroot=wherever
Running this through a standard URL unescaper (perl -MCGI -e 'print
unescape("dir=foo&filespec=a%7c1.2%7c1.3%7cOLD_TAG&filespec=b%7c1.1%7c1.2%7cOLD_TAG&cvsroot=wherever");')
yields:
dir=foo&filespec=a|1.2|1.3|OLD_TAG&filespec=b|1.1|1.2|OLD_TAG&cvsroot=wherever
...and running this through a standard webbish/libwww slicer and dicer
program you'd get (the following is my own syntax):
dir=foo
filespec=a|1.2|1.3|OLD_TAG, b|1.1|1.2|OLD_TAG
cvsroot=wherever
Or you could make the filespec syntax resemble the Entries file, if you
wanted. I've chosen |||
arbitrarily.

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
understand all the issues here.

Re: Getting the version number in a "notify" message
So who knows how can I find the version number that was MOST RECENTLY checked in (regardless of branch) for a particular file by a particular user? Here's the "cvs history" command that I have so far: "cvs history -c -a -l -f " The problem I encountered when testing this is that I got more than one line of output from the above command!! $ cvs history -c -a -l -f tools/cvsweb/cvsweb M 08/25 14:24 + alonghi 1.20 cvsweb tools/cvsweb == M 01/19 22:20 + alonghi 1.3 cvsweb2html.pl tools/cvsweb == It would appear that CVS is doing some sort of "grep" on the history file and listing all files in this directory that START with the filename I gave. I could try to filter through the (potentially) multiple files that this command gives me, but I'd rather do it "the right way" (if there is one!).

Getting the version number in a "notify" message
CVS gurus:
I have written a script (Perl) that is called via
the "notify" administrative file and it works great,
but I would like to include the new *version number*
of the file that was just committed in the notification
message that gets sent out. As far as I can see in
the CVS documentation (Cederqvist), this information
is NOT passed to the "notify" script by CVS (as it is
for other "trigger" operations). Can someone suggest
a way to find the version number that was most recently
committed? The information available is:
Repository location (absolute path)
Path within the repository
File name
Username that did the "commit"
I could probably resort to an RCS command ("rlog"?)
to access the "*,v" file directly, but I would rather
not. I thought maybe I could use the "cvs history"
command, but I do not have any experience with this
command and it seems to take about a dozen option
flags and arguments.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. =:-]

Re: notify file in sandbox's CVS directory...
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 patch should fix the above problem(s).

CVSROOT/users and CVSROOT/notify
I'm looking on more detailed information regarding the CVSROOT/users and CVSROOT/notify files. Specifically, what can I do beyond that basics and what entries are legal(I'll give examples of what I mean). I was just at this site http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_10.html#SEC85 and it did a good job of explaining how to use the example entry but it wasn't very detailed about the options that are available. For Example in the CVSROOT/notify file. ALL mail %s -s \"CVS notification\" This causes users to be notified by electronic mail. Can I specify other things besides 'mail'? When I specify 'mail' what gets executed, can I change the format of the email sent? The CVSROOT/users file. The format for an entry in this file is documented as 'user:value'. So a legal entry would be as such: jsmith:[EMAIL PROTECTED] But what are the more advanced possibilities for the format of 'value' in the 'user:value' pair? Can I specify two email addresses like this? jsmith:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there anywhere that I can find this detailed information? Or does anyone happen to already know? Regards, David Blevins
