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

To set this up:

• 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 GSRC 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 are in the Infrax FAQ: How do I set up cvs mail?)
