Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] any need for a perl monger?

Hi,

This code is part of the CVS project so this isn't part of GNU or the
FSF. Nothing formal.

This is a CVS commit hook so the hook so this needs to be tested in a
CVS repository. Local access is OK (no need for a networked repository
to test this).

You can check how the hooks are configured at Savannah through e.g.:

  rsync rsync://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/web/www/CVSROOT/commitinfo
  rsync rsync://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/web/www/CVSROOT/loginfo

The content of /etc/log_accum-web.conf is just:

  cvsweb http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs
