Editinfo example

The following is a little silly example of a editinfo file, together with the corresponding rcsinfo file, the log message template and an editor script. We begin with the log message template. We want to always record a bug-id number on the first line of the log message. The rest of log message is free text. The following template is found in the file /usr/cvssupport/tc.template.

BugId:

The script /usr/cvssupport/bugid.edit is used to edit the log message.

#!/bin/sh
#

#       bugid.edit filename

#

#  Call $EDITOR on FILENAME, and verify that the

#  resulting file contains a valid bugid on the first

#  line.

if [ "x$EDITOR" = "x" ]; then EDITOR=vi; fi

if [ "x$CVSEDITOR" = "x" ]; then CVSEDITOR=$EDITOR; fi

$CVSEDITOR $1

until head -1|grep '^BugId:[ ]*[0-9][0-9]*$' < $1

do  echo -n  "No BugId found.  Edit again? ([y]/n)"

    read ans

    case ${ans} in

        n*) exit 1;;

    esac

    $CVSEDITOR $1

done

The editinfo file contains this line:

^tc     /usr/cvssupport/bugid.edit

The rcsinfo file contains this line:

^tc     /usr/cvssupport/tc.template
