Re: post-commit question/issue

Hello Binod,

What you have

* Repository whose path is /home/svn/repos

* Path to hook script is obviously
/home/svn/repos/hooks/post-commit.

*

What you want post-commit.sh to do

* Kickoff anytime a developer commits to the trunk ( or main
line of development)

* Send emails to all the developers who are related to the
particular project

What you've done

* Copied post-commit.tmpl to post-commit.sh (If
/home/svn/repos/hooks/post-commit is the obvious path, why is this
post-commit.sh?)

* Gave REPOS=/home/svn/repos

Suggestion(s)

* Have post-commit hook call an executable to send the emails
rather than the post-commit hook doing the work

* Rename post-commit.sh to post-commit; Subversion is looking
for a file called post-commit on Unix/Linux

* Make sure it is executable; chmod 755

* Change REPOS=/home/svn/repos back to REPOS="$1"

* Leave 'REV="$2"' alone; this is the revision # of the commit

* At the end of your file, put a line like the following to call
your email script:
${REPOS}/hooks/scripts/mailer.py commit "${REPOS}" "${REV}"

* Mailer.py is a Subversion contribution that you can download
here: http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html

* Make sure Mailer.py is executable

Hope this helps,

A-
