- Revision:
- 39
- Log:
Initial import of CVSWeb 3.0.6 from http://people.freebsd.org/~scop/cvsweb/
into SVN. CVSWeb will be used as a Web interface onto the main repository,
since that is too large and too complex to convert from its current SVN
form into SVN.

| 4 | FreeBSD-CVSweb is a WWW interface for CVS repositories. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | CVSweb was originally written by Bill Fenner and improved by Henner |
| 7 | Zeller, Henrik Nordström, and Ken Coar, then Akinori MUSHA brought |
| 8 | it back to FreeBSD community and made further improvements. Ville |
| 9 | Skyttä has continued that work. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | To track the development, access the MAIN branch of the module |
| 12 | `projects/cvsweb' in the FreeBSD CVS repository. For legacy 2.x |
| 13 | versions, see the branch named 'rel-2_0-branch'. |

| 33 | Here is the list of added features over Zeller's version: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | o Customizable "show functions" option |
| 36 | You can specify a regexp for each file type to teach rcsdiff(1) to |
| 37 | recognize function lines. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | o Customizable PR categories |
| 40 | o Move $prcgi to cvsweb.conf |
| 41 | Now each repository can have its own PR categories and |
| 42 | query-pr.cgi URL, which can be defined in cvsweb.conf-${cvstree}. |
| 43 | It is useful when you have such as NetBSD and/or OpenBSD |
| 44 | repositories. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | o Improved support for text-based browsers |
| 47 | Unidiff is the default format for diffs, for text-based browsers. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | o Enhanced PR # hyperlinking. |
| 50 | The following styles are supported. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | PR: 12345, 67890, .. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | PR: #12345, #67890, .. |

| 56 | PR# sparc/12345, i386/67890 |
| 57 | |
| 58 | PR: ports/43210 |
| 59 | kern/98765 |
| 60 | |
| 61 | .. is related to bin/4567, which is ... |
| 62 | |
| 63 | o Manpage hyperlinking. |
| 64 | Both `cat(1)' and `cat.1' styles are supported. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | o Revision numbers hyperlinking in annotation. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | o Automatic tarball generation. (Obtained from Debian) |
| 69 | |
| 70 | o Automatic zipball generation. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | o Customizable repository entry order. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | o Location text field. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | o Support for the use of localized charsets. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | o Workaround for buggy web servers. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | o Numerous bugfixes regarding URI/filename manipulation. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | o HTML improvements, XHTML 1.0 Transitional, and a separate CSS file for |
| 83 | presentation. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | o Security fixes to let it work under perl -T. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | o Annotate works under mod_perl and against a read only repository. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | o CvsGraph <http://www.akhphd.au.dk/~bertho/cvsgraph/> integration. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | o Syntax highlighting using GNU Enscript <http://www.iki.fi/~mtr/genscript/>. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | o CVSHistory <http://www.jamwt.com/CVSHistory/> integration. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | o Line number output for HTMLized views. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | o Support for showing README.cvs.html and README.cvs akin to Apache's |
| 98 | FancyIndexes. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | o Support for external diff tools. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | o Works with mod_perl >= 1.99_11 as well as 1.2x. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | o ...and much more! See NEWS for high level changes between releases. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | See also README, as well as TODO for new features under consideration |
| 107 | and development. |

| 109 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 110 | The original Zeller README follows (possibly outdated to some extent): |
| 111 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 112 | |
| 113 | The cgi-script cvsweb.cgi is written by Bill Fenner <fenner@freebsd.org> |
| 114 | (see [1]) for the freebsd project. It allows browsing of |
| 115 | CVS-repositories (see [2]) with an HTML-browser. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | This version is based on Bill's script and is hacked to fit our needs, |
| 118 | so don't blame him if anything doesn't work .. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | Added features: |
| 121 | - a colored side by side diff |
| 122 | - easier navigation |
| 123 | - mime-type aware checkout which allows for browsing |
| 124 | of version controlled HTML-pages |
| 125 | - easier configuration - everything configurable is in one |
| 126 | external file now |
| 127 | - added cvs-annotate - this requires cvs >= 1.9 |
| 128 | (tested with cvs 1.10) |
| 129 | - a better way of viewing timestamps: they're shown as age |
| 130 | (something like 'changed 2 days 4 hours ago') |
| 131 | - sorting by filename / age - just click on the corresponding |
| 132 | column |
| 133 | - urlencodes all filenames so files with spaces and special |
| 134 | characters in their names are viewable as well. |
| 135 | - selectionbox for choosing different CVS-roots |
| 136 | - overview of last revisionnumber, age and logentry in the |
| 137 | directory view |
| 138 | - you can check out the current revision of a file if you are |
| 139 | in the directory view (idea from Nick Brachet) |
| 140 | - gzip'ed output if the browser accepts this; this can reduce the |
| 141 | size (and download time) by a factor of 4 (directory view) to |
| 142 | 10 (colored diff; the size of the colored diff could be reduced |
| 143 | with CSS .. anyone ?). The use of gzip has been in the very first |
| 144 | version of cvsweb (by Bill Fenner), but has been removed because |
| 145 | it wasn't easy to determine if a browser actually understands it. Today |
| 146 | the browsers state if they accept the Content-encoding gzip.. |
| 147 | .. but MSIE lies about this (so cvsweb disables gzip-encoding in this |
| 148 | case). |
| 149 | - Tag based browsing. An easy and what I think intuitive way to browse a |
| 150 | CVS tree based on tags, with filtering of files and CVS logs to only |
| 151 | show whats relevant for the selected tag. |
| 152 | - "Pretty-printed" checkouts for text based files. My intention is to |
| 153 | eventually add cross-referencing to this, but for now the file is only |
| 154 | converted to HTML with automatic detection of various links. |
| 155 | - "Click-on-version" diff selection. |
| 156 | - sorting for every column now |
| 157 | - uses 'cvs co' for checkout instead of rcs co |
| 158 | - Ability to show directory descriptions from CVSROOT/descriptions |
| 159 | |
| 160 | cvsweb.cgi became quite huge now and is bad style code (I am not a |
| 161 | perl-programmer - this is what I do in my spare time!) so this |
| 162 | should be rewritten. |
| 163 | |
| 164 | I'd propose a Java-servlet which could use the C/S-protocol .. anyone ? |
| 165 | |
| 166 | And what about using mod_perl, and rewriting it into a set of proper Perl-5 |
| 167 | modules? |
