Change Review Email

There is a Perforce change review daemon for the Public Depot. You can configure your Perforce User Specification so that you will be notified about changes submitted by others to the Public Depot, either for the entire depot, or any subset of files kept here.

The basic procedure is to edit your Perforce User Specification, adding a "Reviews:" field, with entries to select the paths within the depot of files you are interested in. When a change affecting such files is submitted, you will be notified via email. You must also have the Email: field in your User Specification correctly set to the address where you want notifications to be sent. (You can edit your User Specification using the p4 user command from the command line client).

For example, to "subscribe" so that you will be notified about all changes affecting anything under //public , or any changes that affect any files in directories named "cvs2p4" (anywhere in the depot), you would set your User Specification to include:

Email:  your email address

Reviews:
        //public/...
        //.../cvs2p4/*

The Public Depot review daemon will also allow the person submitting a change to include additional addressees for a particular change notification, by including a one or more lines of the form

Description:

    cc: address [ address ... ]

in the Description field of either the Change Specification for a given change, or of the Client Specification of the client from which the change is being submitted.
