Thread: CVS Messages

Is it possible for the cvs emails to include a URL to the appropriate
entries in cvs web?

The below is current:

Modified files:       src/backend/utils/adt: ruleutils.c


Is this possible?
Modified files:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c


Or perhaps have a LINKS section at the very bottom below the current
messages?

I'd second that request! Great idea.

It is certainly possibly.  We have added that type of functionality to 
our inhouse CVS system.  Below is an example.  We include at the bottom 
of the checkin mail a link to the webcvs diff page so you can quickly 
see what changed for a particular checkin.

If you're using a Web browser with support for smart bookmarks, nicknames,
and javascript: URLs, then you can define a bookmark as something like:

javascript:re=/(:.)/;window.location="http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/"+"%s".replace(re, "/")

and then cut-and-paste the line from the email into your location field
using a nickname:

pgcvs src/backend/utils/adt: ruleutils.c

and have it bring up the cvsweb page. Works with galeon; I guess other
recent browsers (Konqueror, Moz, IE?) can do something very similar if
not quite identical.
