How do I set it up so that I get email whenever someone commits a change?

To set up email for CVS or Subversion:
- Email will be set to people with
developer
accounts
in a workgroup. To enable the developer choice,
the admin of the workgroup should go to Admin -> Group Profile and select Software Project
- the admin of
the workgroup should go to the Admin->Configure Group page
and click on the
CVS mail list
checkbox
- then
hit the
Change group configuration
button
at the bottom.
This will send email to the website managers
who will create the mailing list and edit the
loginfo
file.
If a workgroup member would like to get email about
cvs changes, they should go to
Options -> Membership and request a Developer account for
the corresponding workgroup.
(Website managers: the instructions for what to do for CVS are in] the dopsysadmin workgroup: How do I set up CVS mail?
For Subversion, see
