NAME

       darcs-monitor - Darcs add-on that sends mail about newly pushed changes

SYNOPSIS

       darcs-monitor [ option ...  ] email recipient [ email recipient ...  ] [ repository ...  ]

       darcs-monitor -h | --help

       darcs-monitor --version

DESCRIPTION

       darcs-monitor  reads  one or more darcs(1) repositories and sends email about every change
       it has not previously sent an email about to the same address.  To have darcs-monitor  run
       every   time   someone   pushes   to   a   repository,   add   the   following   lines  to
       _darcs/prefs/defaults.

              apply posthook darcs-monitor --charset=charset email recipient  [  email  recipient
              ...  ]
              apply run-posthook

       In  the  above, charset should be the MIME charset that patches (including their metadata)
       are in, and recipient should be the email address where emails should be  sent.   You  can
       specify more than one recipient by repeating the email parameter.

       You  can also run darcs-monitor from crontab(1) or from the command line.  In those cases,
       it is easiest to specify the path to the  repository  on  the  command  line  after  other
       arguments.  In fact, you can specify more than one.

       By  default,  mail is sent by calling /usr/sbin/sendmail.  Another sendmail (1) binary can
       be specified by using a command-line switch.

       You can customise the email by providing a template.  You should put your own template  in
       the  file  _darcs/third-party/darcs-monitor/email-template  (you  can use other files, but
       then you have to specify where it  is).   In  the  template  you  can  use  the  following
       substitutions:

       %RECIPIENT%
              the email address to which email is sent

       %DIFF% the Darcs-provided diff -u of the patch

       %CHANGES%
              a Darcs-provided summary of changes

       %REPO% the path to the repository

       %SHORTREPO%
              the final component of the path to the repository

       %AUTHOR%
              the patch author

       %DATE% the patch date

       %HASH% the patch Darcs hash

       %TITLE%
              the patch name

       %COMMENT%
              the patch comment

       Also,  in the template, two percent signs in sequence (%%) start a comment that extends to
       the end of the current line.
