***External Tools Cookbook***

Just some notes on where I'm going with #183. Currently, I'm just playing with
trivial things that can be done from the command-line. Custom processor scripts
would make things way more powerful. And don't forget that scripts have access
to QUERY_STRING, so being able to build CGI-type forms should be feasible.

**Files**

*CVS Blame*

permissions *asio*, command line:

  /usr/bin/cvs -n -d '%RP' rannotate -r `expr '%V1' \| HEAD` '%F' 2>&1

**Directories**

*ChangeLog*

permissions *asoi*, command line:

  /usr/bin/cvs -d '%RP' rlog '%F' 2>/dev/null |
          /usr/bin/cvs2cl --stdin  --stdout --rcs '%RP' 2>&1

Note that cvs2cl only handles the --rcs style when there's no trailing '/' in
the repository path.

**Tickets**

*Close Ticket*

permissions *asw*, command line:

  /usr/bin/sqlite3 '%RP/%P.db'
         "UPDATE ticket SET status='closed' WHERE tn='%TN';"

The user gets redirected back to /tktview since there's no output. Unless
there's a failure.

**Check-ins**

*Pass/Fail*

permissions *asi*, command-line:

  /usr/bin/sqlite3 '%RP/%P.db'
   "INSERT INTO inspect(cn,inspecttime,inspector,result)
   VALUES('%CN','%N','%U','failed|passed')"

The user gets redirected back to /chngview since there's no output. Unless
there's a failure.

**Wiki**

*Formatting*

permissions *asj*. Different from /wiki.txt in that the output is inlined into
the CVSTrac page, not just as straight =text/plain=.

  echo '<pre>' && cat '%C' && echo '</pre>'
