We thought we needed the same thing for our team, email notification on various events such as commit. Then we took a look at the rss capability of fossil and quickly realized that the rss feed is far superior to triggered emails. Same data, same granularity, much better management of the information, zero setup cost, zero maintenance of scripts etc. If your repo is at http://host.dom/fossils/myfossil then add http://host.dom/fossils/myfossil/timeline.rss to your rss reader (we are using outlook which seems to work fine). > > Thanks! > > -jer > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > >
