Hi,

I'm using SVN, not CVS.

I probably didn't do a good job of explaining. I'm not getting the same diff over and over. They are new versions, valid diffs. I don't see how svn could get out of sync, when the crontab was inactive (everything rem'ed out) so there was no activity during the upgrade. Before the upgrade, I know there were router config changes taking place and I did not get an email about them. Now I do. So I'm hunting for how to turn the notifications off.

I'm also noticing a .cvsignore file in the 'configs' folder in WebSVN. Not sure why that is there or if I should care. It wasn't there before the upgrade.

Thanks,
Wayne

I'd go with changing control_rancid. Search for

# Mail out the diffs (if there are any).
if [ -s $TMP.diff ] ; then

which looks like the line to change to turn notifications off. Or
check the FAQ:
Q. I just want to store configrurations, I do not want to receive diffs. How
can I accomplish this?
A. Use procmail to filter them out of your inbox.
OR, redirect the mail aliases in your MTA's aliases file or database to a
mailman list with no subscribers.
OR, redirect the mail aliases to /dev/null.
OR, set DIFFSCRIPT in rancid.conf to something that eats it's input, such
as "dd of=/dev/null bs=16k".

Regards,
Lee
