I'm not talking about this, but about a cvs web client (web cvs client?). Another employer, same task at hand. I didn't really finish the task last year, but I'll have to manage this time.

I spent the day looking at and trying to install ViewCVS. I think I'm almost there, but there seem to be a few things missing (read: I don't get a 404 anymore, just a blank page).

What I don't like so far? The fact that you have to run the webserver on the same machine as the CVS repository, is one issue. The fact that every goddamn configuration string is unix-based, another one (yes, we're running CVSNT as a server).

My dream? A nice servlet/jsp/anything else Java-based (we're a Java shop), that you can just drop in tomcat/webapps, and that you configure by entering your CVSROOT.

Well, we're not there yet. Going back to the world of PYTHONPATH and its friends.
