Hi Robert, and Nick. Thank you both for the replies. It sounds like this is what I want, but could you please send me some more information on how to do this exactly? Robert, from my understanding I would need to install the email plugin on the server into the $HOME/.bazaar/plugins directory. However, I am not the only user who makes use of the repository, and each of us has a different user, so I would need to install this into each user's directory correct? It's a managed hosting environment and I can't install it into the bazaar installation dir. Nick, can you explain a little bit about how the email-notifier works. I was looking through the example.conf file and it looks like it creates a local working copy for the branches it's watching? Is this correct? <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 9:45 AM, Nicholas Allen <<a href="mailto:nick.allen@onlinehome.de" target="_blank">nick.allen@onlinehome.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi Eric, You don't have to use bzr-email-notifier from a cron job. There is a shell script that checks for updates every 10 seconds. This means it should notify you within a max of 10 seconds of a commit. There is no need to execute it from a hook. On my system polling every 10 seconds does not increase CPU usage in a noticable way so you could even lower the poll interval if you like.
