RV: CVS Notifications

[jlxpmi]

I found very useful the information on this page, but I don't know why I
had not be able to got working the example:
^module\(/\|$\) (echo; echo %p; echo %{sVv}; cat) >>$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog

in my loginfo file.

I understand that the ^module must be replaced by my module file. My moule
is defined like that:

crc                 usr/crc/
require             usr/crc/require/
    require/pair    usr/crc/require/pair/
    require/common  usr/crc/require/common/
    require/cas   usr/crc/require/cas/
So what I had tryed is to put
^crc\(/\|$\) (echo; echo %p; echo %{sVv}; cat) >>$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog
But nothing happens.

Actually I used the following format:
DEFAULT (echo ""; id; echo %{sVv}; date; cat) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog
And this work but when I commit 2 files this system only notify 1.

Could anybody help me with the sintax
^crc\(/\|$\) (echo; echo %p; echo %{sVv}; cat) >>$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog

Thanks in advance & best regards.

If all you want is commit notifications and not advisory locking, I
suggest you use hang the commit_prep.pl and log.pl scripts (distributed
with CVS in the contrib directory) from the commitinfo and loginfo
triggers, respectively.  This allows you to change the subject of the
emails and even configure the emails to contain diffs of the changes.

Also, please read the manual on configuring different triggers per
project:
<http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/index.php?title=CVS--Concurrent_Versions_System_v1.12.12.1:_Reference_manual_for_Administrative_files#The_Trigger_Scripts>.

Regards,

Derek
