RE: [pooma-dev] POOMA CVS log messages

[Julian C. Cummings]

I set up our CVS repository at LANL to do what
Jim is talking about.  The way I did it is by
modifying the loginfo file in the CVSROOT
directory.  There is usually a command in there
that invokes the mail program to send an e-mail
with the cvs log message in it to the mailing
list.  You can use the -s option to the mail
program to set the subject line of this e-mail.
There should be a comment line in the cvs loginfo
file with instructions on exactly how to do this.

P.S.  I will see if I have access to this CVSROOT
module and can make this change.  Otherwise, Mark
can take care of it.

They are.

Is there a way we could get the names of the modified files into the subject
line. We used to do that at LANL, but I don't remember exactly how. Here's
an example, though:

r2 log -  'r2/src/Evaluator/tests makefile evaluatorTest2.cpp'

Anyway, this helps give a heads up as to whether the log message is
particularly interesting or not (depending on what I might be working on).
