mercurial email notifications

[yuv]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is my mistake, lack of documentation, a bug, or an intended non-feature.

We're progressively moving a few projects to Mercurial and I would like to implement email notification of changes to the repository, similar to what we already have with Subversion.

I'm trying to implement
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/NotifyExtension

It is not documented on
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Mercurial

I've (wrongly?) assumed that since the extension is installed by default with Mercurial, it is also on SF and I only need configure it properly.

you can see my first attempt (using wild guesses and defaults) at

/home/scm_hg/e/en/enblend/enblend-web/.hg/.hgrc

probably the [smtp] section is wrong?

could you help me
(a) understand if it is possible to have notifications from Mercurial?
(b) fix my broken implementation?
(c) document this for other SF users?

thanks
Yuv

Greetings,

This is currently undocumented and unsupported. However, it'll probably work if you point the traffic to localhost.

Thank you,

fantastic! thanks for the quick and positive reply. I'll test later this week and will post my results here. is it OK if I document and share what I did to make it work (after it is tested to work)?

Thank you

Since there have been a few private requests for the docu, it is now on my blog, in three installments starting at http://panospace.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/svn2hg_part1/
