loginfo.pl for Email Notification

[Brian Sequeira]

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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] $USER %{sVv}

 

brians@viola:/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
