You'll need to do the following, if
you choose to use loginfo.pl.
Edit
any of the following, if different on your system:
my
$last_file = "/var/cvs/lastdir";
my $summary =
"/var/cvs/summary";
my $smtpserver = "127.0.0.1";
my $smtpport
= 25;
my $cvs =
"/usr/bin/cvs";
my $cvsroot = $ENV{CVSROOT}."/";
#
remove double trailing slash
$cvsroot =~ s/\/\/$/\//;
my
$cvsusers =
"/home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsusers";
Create
a /var/cvs directory that's world writable.
#
mkdir /var/cvs
#
chmod 777 /var/cvs
I'm
not *sure* about the world writable part.
Mark
the script as executable (if it isn't already):
#
chmod +x /home/cvs/cvs/CVSROOT/loginfo.pl
Good
luck!

Hello,
Below is an error
I get when I try to commit any file after I had edited my loginfo file to
contain the following line: ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo.pl address@hidden $USER
%{sVv}
address@hidden:/usr/home/brians/51Release/Oas/CVSROOT$
cvs commit -m "test"
cvs commit: Examining .
Checking in
loginfo.pl;
/home/cvs/cvs/CVSROOT/loginfo.pl,v <--
loginfo.pl
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done
sh:
/home/cvs/cvs/CVSROOT/loginfo.pl: No such file or directory
cvs server:
Rebuilding administrative file database
A loginfo.pl,v
file exists in the CVSROOT directory, but not a loginfo.pl. I added a
loginfo.pl to the repository that was passed on thru this mailing list. I had
to edit the following lines in the file:
my
$last_file =
"/var/cvs/lastdir";
-------- (What is this variable used for?)
my $summary =
"/var/cvs/summary"; -------- (What is this
variable used for?)
my $smtpserver =
"127.0.0.1";
my
$smtpport = 25;
my
$cvs = "/usr/bin/cvs";
my
$cvsroot = $ENV{CVSROOT}."/";
# remove double trailing
slash
$cvsroot =~
s/\/\/$/\//;
------ (What does this mean?)
my $cvsusers =
"/home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsusers"; -------(no cvsusers file
existing)
Could you point to
a site or maual that could better help me understand email
notifications via CVS? Thanks
Brian
