Alex gave me a script the other day to email users when someone commits a change to a svn repository, and I expanded on it a bit to use a subroutine for the actual notification and include the repository name in the URL. Nothing fancy (at all), but I thought I'd share.
You'll need to download and install SVN-Notify for this to work. If you have root access the easiest way is by using CPAN.
# perl -MCPAN -e shell ... cpan[1]> i /SVN-Notify/ ... Distribution DWHEELER/SVN-Notify-2.66.tar.gz ... 4 items found cpan[2]> install DWHEELER/SVN-Notify-2.66.tar.gz
Next edit repository/hooks/post-commit and use the following script as your starting point. Make sure to make the file executable (chmod +x hooks/post-commit).
#!/bin/bash ################# # Config # ################# NOTIFY_LIST="email@address1 email@address2 email@address3" SVNNOTIFY="/usr/local/bin/svnnotify" FROM="Display Name <svn_reply_to_addr@domain.tld>" REPLY_TO="$FROM" ################ # End Config # ################ REPOS="$1" REV="$2" REPOS_NAME=`echo $REPOS | sed 's/[^\/]*\///g'` ################ # Subroutines # ################ notify() { $SVNNOTIFY \ --repos-path "$REPOS" \ --revision "$REV" \ --subject-cx \ --subject-prefix "$REPOS_NAME - " \ --with-diff \ --handler HTML::ColorDiff \ --to "$1" \ --from "$FROM" \ --reply-to "$FROM" } ################# # Body # ################# for foo in $NOTIFY_LIST ; do notify "$foo" done

Hi Corey,
I'm trying to get this set up for a group of developers. Unfortunately I seem to be missing something. The emails go out, but there is almost nothing in the content. The author field isn't populated, the diff doesn't show, etc. I tried changing the –with-diff flag to -attach-diff but that didn't really make any difference. I mean, the diff is still empty, only now it's attached.
This is on Solaris 10.
It appears that Subversion is passing the correct variables, as I echoed them out to a temp file during one of the commits and here are REPOS, REV and REPOS_NAME:
/data/svn/testRepository
11
testRepository
Executing the raw command from the command line yielded this:
# /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/svnnotify –repos-path /data/svn/testRepository –revision 11 –subject-cx –subject-prefix "testRepository – " –attach-diff –handler HTML::ColorDiff –to red@act.ed –from "Subversion" –reply-to "Subversion"

Any ideas?

Hey Daniel,
Try quoting the repository name too:
The only other change I see is that you were attaching the diff. Also check out line 2309 in /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/SVN/Notify.pm, it looks like it's searching for a file that isn't found.
