Note: If you don't know what cvs, cvsup and cvsweb.cgi are then this
|
|
text is most likely not interesting for you. This is primarily
|
|
intended for people tracking the development of FreeBSD and other open
|
|
source projects with a public CVS repository.
|
|
|
|
This package provides three Perl scripts:
|
|
+ commitlog2cvsweb: converts FreeBSD commitlog files to HTML
|
|
+ cvsrdiff2cvsweb: converts output of "cvs rdiff -s" to HTML
|
|
+ cvsuplog2cvsweb: converts log output of "cvsup" to HTML
|
|
|
|
They basically transform their input almost unchanged to HTML, adding
|
|
only hyperlinks to a cvsweb.cgi script for each changed file. In order
|
|
to use them you need
|
|
1. access to a CVS repository of interest to you (either by
|
|
local/remote cvs or by cvsup)
|
|
2. WWW access to the repository with a cvsweb CGI.
|
|
To use commitlog2cvsweb you have to mirror the src-base part of the
|
|
FreeBSD CVS repository. This is currently (2001) about 17 megabytes.
|
|
|
|
Other than saving you some typing (of URLs) these scripts won't do much
|
|
for you. You probably don't need this unless you frequently use cvsweb
|
|
or you got used to browse FreeBSD commit logs.
