1: CVS Browser
Posted by Sean Harrison on 08/16/03 05:31 AM
Hi, folks,

I've been looking around for information on the CVS browser at openacs.org/cvs. It would seem to me that the code for this would be useful for other projects, but I don't see anything about it. Can you tell me about this browser? Is the code for it available? I have, looked at http://xarg.net/tools/cvs (Jeff Davis's browser), and it appears to be a different animal.

Thanks,
Shawn Harrison

That's just cvsweb, a CGI script written in horrible Perl. It's freely available on the web. Google for it.

ViewCVS, a replacement for cvsweb is also available out there.

Got it, thanks. I realized after posting that I should have done that. It's nice to know which package it is.

It raises my second question: Has anyone ever talked about writing a CVS browser package for OpenACS? Would such a thing be interesting?
