# Perforce review daemon
#
# This script determines new changelists and jobs and emails interested users.
# Users express interest in reviewing changes and/or jobs by setting the
# "Reviews:" entry on their user form. Users are notified of changes if they
# review any file involved in that change. Users are notified of jobs if
# they review //depot/jobs (configurable - see jobpath, below).
# NOTE: the job review function requires a 98.2 or later server.
#
# If run directly with "repeat=1" (see below) the script will sleep for
# "sleeptime" seconds and then run again. On UNIX you can run the script from
# cron by setting "repeat=0" and adding the following line with crontab -e:
# * * * * * /path/to/p4review.py
# This will run the script every minute. Note that if you use cron you
# should be sure that the script will complete within the time allotted.
#
# See the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES section below for other values which may
# need to be customized for your site. In particular, be sure to set
# administrator, mailhost, repeat, p4, P4PORT and P4USER.
#
#
# Common pitfalls and debugging tips
# - "command not found" (Windows) or "name: not found" (UNIX) errors
# -> check that "p4" is on your PATH or set
# p4='"c:/program files/perforce/p4"' or as appropriate (Windows)
# (NOTE the use of " inside the string to prevent interpretation
# of the command as "run c:/program with arguments files/perforce/p4...)
# p4='/usr/local/bin/p4' or as appropriate (UNIX)
# - "You don't have permission for this operation"
# -> check that the user you set os.environ['P4USER'] to (see below)
# has "review" or "super" permission (use "p4 protect")
# You should be able to run "p4 -u username review -c 42 -t test"
# - this sets the value of a counter named "test" to 42
# - "Unable to connect to SMTP host"
# -> check that the mailhost is set correctly - try "telnet mailhost 25"
# and see if you connect to an SMTP server. Type "quit" to exit
# - it seems to run but you don't get email
# -> check the output of "p4 counters" - you should see a counter named
# "review"
# -> check the output of "p4 reviews -c changenum" for a recent change;
# if no one is reviewing the change then no email will be sent.
# Check the setting of "Reviews:" on the user form with "p4 user"
# -> check that your email address is set correctly on the user form
# (run "p4 reviews" to see email addresses for all reviewers,
# run "p4 user" to set email address)
# - multiple job notifications are sent
# -> the script should be run on the same machine as the Perforce server;
# otherwise time differences between the two machines can cause problems
# (the job review mechanism uses a timestamp; the change review mechanism
# uses change numbers, so it's not affected by this problem)
