Enabling automatic CVS-checkin email notifications, remote symlink management, etc

  Owner: Ken Manheimer

  Here are instructions for hooking in our local checkin-notification and
  remote symlink-management provisions.

  0. Create the repository using 'cvs init' according to your needs.

  1. Do a checkout of your repository's CVSROOT bookkeeping directory.  You'll
     be adding all our customizations there.

  2. CVS add copies of the following files, as is:

     [postcommit_actions] - **must be executable** - *chmod +x postcommit_actions*

     [adjustlinks.py]

     [repolinks]

     [traffic_table.py]

  3. CVS add a copy of [traffic_table.py], changing the value for internal
     and the settings in the 'add_to_table()' call in 'init_table()' to suit
     your purposes.

  4. Add the following lines to the 'checkoutlist' file, and check in the
     changes::

      postcommit_actions
      traffic_table.py
      adjustlinks.py
      repolinks
      passwd

  5. Add and checkin the following lines to the loginfo file::

       ^CVSROOT ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/postcommit_actions --verbose %{sVv}

       DEFAULT ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/postcommit_actions %{sVv}

  The values in traffic_table.py dictate triggering and routing of 
  notifications.  The settings in repolinks dictate symlinks in the
  repository.  Text at the tops of the files have detailed instructions.
