CVSHistory – A Great Addition to ViewCVS/ViewVC
By ericblue Categories: Software Development | 0 comments
I just found out about a great project called CVSHistory at
http://jamwt.com/CVSHistory/. This application (written in Python) provides a web-interface for listing/searching a CVS history
file, and can either be used in stand-alone mode, or integrates with
ViewVC (formerly called
ViewCVS).
The most compelling feature to me is the ability to get history entries as an RSS feed. I’ve been
using ViewVC (business and personal) for a number of years. But, switched to
FishEye at work for my
last major project. The FishEye product is great, and honestly my main motivation for making the
switch was RSS feed export. Unfortunately, I can’t justify purchasing a FishEye license for my
personal projects. But, now that I have CVSHistory in conjunction with ViewVC, this gives me exactly
what I need.
