If you want users notified when commits are made to specific CVS modules, this 
is done by using the following 'contrib' scripts and control files:

log_accum.pl: is a PERL script that is run after commit processing 

loginfo: This is the control file used by log_accum. Each line contains a 
pattern of the module you are tracking; the email addresses that require 
notification; and the current $USER.

commit_prep: is a PERL script that will facilitates getting all the commit log 
messages (and diffs if requested) into a single log_accum email.

commitinfo: has a line for each module to track and the current $USER.

Once you've installed CVS, look in the .../cvs/share/cvs/contrib directory for 
the scripts.
