CVSZilla is a small piece of Perl-glue to integrate CVS, Bugzilla and CVSWeb or ViewCVS with each other. It also extends CVS to give rudimentary support to "change-sets", or "transactions", after a fashion. (They're probably not *exactly* what most people refer to as change-sets, but they're close enough for our use here.)
It also contains code to plug in to CVS to make it record information about every commit or tag that goes into the repository into a MySQL database.
It also provides CGI scripts which allow querying of the recorded information - for instance:
It's minimally documented in README.txt files in each directory. Note that the code is short and concise - it's the best documentation there is. If you're not sure, Use The Source!
CVSZilla was originally developed by Tony Garnock-Jones, and is now developed by a group of interested developers. See AUTHORS for more information.
We are working on packages, but right now the only method to obtain CVSZilla is via CVS. We currently provide anonymous CVS access.
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@www.cvszilla.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot cvs co cvszilla
If you would like to report bugs/help out, please feel free to create a bugzilla account. One of the team members will be in contact to verify the account.
The mailing list is currently offline, since the managing yahoo account was compromised. The archives are still currently available.
We also have a mailing list over on Yahoo Groups. Please join us if you have any questions.
Thanks,We use CVSZilla ourselves. To view it in action, have a look here. To browse the CVS repository, we have ViewCVS installed here.
