Overview

cvsblame opens Konqueror to display the output of cvs annotate of a cvs controlled file. When the mouse is on a revision number shown in the second column, a popup with the respective log message appears.

In the popup, a proper mailto: link to the author of a revision can be created as follows: In your home directory, make a file .cvsblame. In that file, enter for each repository you are working with a line like

      accounts :pserver:[email protected]:/home/kde /home/bernd/.kdeaccounts

where the accounts file contains a simple list of cvs usernames in the first column and the respective mail address in the second.
