Alert team members of SVN commit?

Question

I'm hosting my own svn repository on ubuntu 8.04. Is there a way for svn to send emails to team members whenever a commit has happened?

If coding is required, the only language I'm able to use on a linux server is PHP. So I could write a php script to be triggered by svn.

Can anyone tell me how to hook up my php script to an svn commit? Or is there another way to do this?

You might want to look into Commit Monitor. This is a windows-only solution I believe, but it allows your team members to "opt-in" to alerts, by checking the repository every 30 minutes or so.

+1. good advice. despite the fact that it is for windows only (never tried this with Wine) - it's much better than emails. i have been using it for about an year. – zerkms Apr 20 '10 at 22:18
It's great as it does not require access to the server. – Ignacio Soler Garcia Oct 16 '15 at 14:13

The proper way of doing this is to implement the hooks. But to be clear - the tons of emails will be annoying.

You could also monitor your repositories with WebSVN (a PHP based svn repository browser) and a RSS reader of your choice.
