Hi,
I'm using CVS v1.11 and i just can't seem to get the $CVS_USER environment
variable expanding in any of my *info files. I'm using pserver to connect
winCVS client to CVS on SunOS 5.8, and because not everybody has unix
accounts i have a cvs passwd file which looks something like:-
user1::cvsowner
user2::cvsowner
.
.
.
etc
where cvsowner is the unix user which actually runs CVS, and the user1,2,3
are peoples windows logons. I can get $USER to expand, but this of course
expands into 'cvsowner' as the server user, and not the actual CVS user who
performed the commit. I've tried all sotrs of forms ($CVS_USER,
$CVS_USERNAME, %CVS_USER_NAME, ${CVS_USER}, etc etc), and i always get the
same error reported back:"cvs server: loginfo:27: no such internal variable
$CVS_USER". Scouring the web i can see this used to be a problem back in 98
and would have thought it was fixed by now!
In my loginfo file i only have a single line:-
^cgr_test /export/cvs/CVSROOT/loginfo.ksh $CVS_USER %{sVv}
I've also tried this just on the unix box (taking winCVS out of the
equation) and get the same result, and i tried using cvs v1.11.2 as well,
still with no results.
Can anyone help me access the real cvs user who performed an action in my
*info scripts please?
Thanks,
Chris
