Redmine

Google svn hook email. Long story short, it's possible, but it doesn't involve Redmine at all.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your help.

The problem is that I cannot install post commit hooks because I do not own the machine where the repository is.
I wanted to use redmine on my machine, write a cron job that fetches the changes into redmine and then use configure redmine to generate notifications for all new commits. Would that work?

Hrm... Redmine talks about using a cron job ( ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production ) to fetch the changesets every couple of minutes. I gather you could hack that function to do what you want. There are no hooks to work from there, so any changes you make would be a hack, not a plugin.

fyi, that function is in app/models/repository/subversion.rb for svn repositories.

What is this features status? Is there any plans to release this feature or some one
out there have the path to apply in a local installation?

Is there any changes?

I am trying to get the Diff Email Plugin working again.
At the moment it crashes on the spot when trying to acces: repository.diff("", previous.revision, revision) in Changeset.
(Crash comes when it accesses the code in the repository.diff, and crashes on the first method there.

I know this topic is old but because I had the same question and it appears there is still no proper solution like Trac has I created a patch for Redmine 2.1. Please note this patch does not add another email option but checks the Issue Updated notification event permission before sending emails.
