I was looking for a way for CVS to send email whenever someone commits something in the repository. It’s possible by editing the CVSROOT/loginfo file and specifying a handler script. The script can basically do whatever with the information, including sending emails.

I came across a post talking about utilising the CVS loginfo file, but with a twist. It outputs to RSS instead of emails. Clever.

I modified the script to work with our work environment. Nothing major. But it got me learning Ruby. This was my first “fling” with Ruby. And I love it.
