Rt-cvsgate - no 'Tag' data

Hi
I’ve just setup rt-cvsgate, but have a problem:
I want the cvs ‘Tag’ written to the message, but $file->{‘tag’} always returns
empty…

  • I can’t find much on the web that talks about the option ‘t’ (for tags) in
    the args %{Vvts}… most places just talk of %{sVv}

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I realise I can also get the tag from the (at the mo, it’s just thrown
away), but if someone knows how to ‘enable’ the ‘t’ option, that’d be nicer.

PS I’ve re-written rt_handler… it was a bit broken…
If multiple tickets specified, the message was concat’d from one ticket msg to
the next…
Also, the diff line could never work, 'cos of the kludge with #0…
It should now DTRT - correct msg for multiple tickets, diff line works, and
any ‘0’ ticket id’s are simply ignored.
If anyone’s interested, I’ll post it.

I believe you need to install NetBSD’s hacked version of CVS.

To be honest, I think I did the last update to rt-cvsgate. After using it
for a while, and specifically having problems with tags, I gave up and
just scripted something to take it from stdin and mail it to
rt@mydomain.com.

Sorry I can’t be much more help on that.

No worries - good to know the situation.
I kinda like ‘posting’ the message tho…
I’ve kludged it to take the first branch tag from STDIN… I’ve never
committed on multiple branches at the same time, even if it’s possible, so
that shouldn’t be a problem.
And cheers Jesse, but I don’t think I’ll be moving to NetBSD’s hacked cvs in
the near future!
