There's already limited support for that, via the $rcsidinfo variable.
It makes sense to expand that idea.
The main underlying goals are as follow:
* Rewrite using Perl5isms instead of a combination of perl4 and perl5.
(Including using taint, strict and -w warnings.)
* Use a config.pm module to drive the configuration.
* Make the system generic enough that any group (Apache, Apple,
etc) can use it directly with only changes to the config file, but
flexible enough that it does everything that _we_ want it to do.
The advantage of using a configuration file written in Perl is that
it can contain code to determine what the configuration should be.
For instance when crypto was elsewhere:
# The command used for mail the log messages. Usually something
# like $MAILCMD = "/usr/sbin/sendmail".
$MAILCMD = "/usr/local/bin/mailsend -H";
# Extra banner to add to top of commit messages.
# i.e. $MAILBANNER = "Project X CVS Repository";
$MAILBANNER = ""; # No banner for general FreeBSD commits
# Email addresses of recipients of commit mail.
# i.e. $MAILADDRS = 'committers@your.domain.com';
$MAILADDRS = 'cvs-committers@FreeBSD.org cvs-all@FreeBSD.org';
#============================================================
# FreeBSD customisation - remove this block if you're using
# this for your own projects.
use Sys::Hostname; # get hostname() function
if (hostname() =~ /freefall\.freebsd\.org/i) {
$MAILADDRS = 'peter@FreeBSD.org' if $DEBUG;
} else {
$MAILADDRS = 'mark@FreeBSD.org' if $DEBUG;
$MAIL_BANNER = "FreeBSD International Crypto Repository\n"
}
#============================================================
There's a snapshot of the development in Freefall:~joe/New-CVSROOT.
