Hope someone can help me!
I am a new devloper at a place which has used successfully used CVS for a
number of years. However we just use CVS in the default mode and now we want
to expand our use by setting watches on files and then emailing the other
devlopers when edits, unedits and commits have taken place. I have been
chosen to set this up and I am having problems.
I have looked through the FAQ and Info-CVS Archives from March to November
and have only found one reference to this specific problem I am having
(April 4 2001) but no solution was posted.
Here is the scenario:
I know how to set the watches, the problem is getting the email part to
work. The online help says to edit the notify file as follows
ALL mail %s -s \"CVS notification"\ Done this
Then it says
".....but to make this easy, CVS allows you to associate a notification
address for each user. To do so create a file `users' in `CVSROOT' with a
line for each user in the format user:value. Then instead of passing the
name of the user to be notified to `notify', CVS will pass the value
(normally an email address on some other machine)"
So I created a user file in CVSROOT with a list of all of the devlopers
username:useremailaddress
When another devloper edits one of the files I am watching (I am watching
all of them) an email is sent but it is sent to an incorrect address and
gets returned.
Either CVS or some other place is placing the CVS server name in front of
the useremailaddress like this - username:CVSservername.useremailaddress
Any ideas on what I can do, or where I can look for more help?
