[ANNOUNCE] "cvs explorer" for linux-mips CVS tree

[ANNOUNCE] "cvs explorer" for linux-mips CVS tree

[Jun Sun]

I wrote a CVS tracking tool that tracks CVS changes in patch format
and present them with a web interface.  It is now set up to track
linux-mips.org tree at the following place.  Enjoy.

http://www.linux-mips.org/xcvs/linux-mips

BTW, if you use this tool for tracking other trees, please drop me a
note.  Of course, I also like to have more developers to participate.  
Please join us at

It appears session somehow does not work on your web viewer.  What is 
your web browser anyway?

Immediately after you hit above link, please redirect URL to

http://www.linux-mips.org/xcvs/test.php

If you don't see following, that means sessions do not work.

------------------------------------------------
dbname : xcvs_linux_mips
patchdir : ../linux-mips/patches
branch : MAIN
author : all authors
starting-date :
ending-date :
-----------------------------------------------

Anybody else has similar problems?

Sure, IE6 w/ high security settings. Had to accept all cookies from
linux-mips.org in order to fix the problem.

I thought if a browser refuses to accept cookies, PHP would
fall back to use explicit SID get variable in URL.  Strange.

Galeon (from Debian testing or unstable on ia32).

OK, I'll retry (at home, with a similar Galeon but on PPC):

OK, if I enable cookies, it works fine! Nice!

Very good!

I played with cvsps a few times, but didn't dare to use it
on such a large tree like the Linux kernel.

A few nits:
- I would prefer a "latest first" sort order in the patchset listing
- IMHO 'diff -up' would make the patchsets much easier to read
- could you please add a <title> tag for the query page? (For
  easier bookmarking.)

The README from the sources mentions some constraints:

 ". Branching is always a complete branching of the whole tree."

What happens when only a part of a tree is branched?

 ". Commitment only modifies the head of a given branch."

I don't understand this. CVS commits will always change the head
of a branch (or the trunk) only, no?


How would one use xcvs on a repository with many different, but
interdependent CVS modules (e.g. gnome CVS http://cvs.gnome.org/)?

Good suggestions.  Patches are even more welcome. :)

Probably does not hurt.

These statements are over paranoid.

Don't know yet.  Have not given a thought.

BTW, this kind of discussions probably should go to xcvs list.  Pretty
soon I think Ralf will revoke our posting previledges. :)

Hey, if I'd be consequent I'd then have to revoke posting priviledges
for myself fi...
