A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Alexander Taler <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: fdl
Other License:
Package: LibCVS -- Access CVS through a library.
System name: libcvs
Type: GNU
Description:
LibCVS describes an API for providing access to CVS repositories.
This is a documentation project, which will produce a language-independent API
description. This API can then be implemented in an appropriate language, and
tools can be written which use that library, and the API, to access CVS
repositories.
The purpose is to ease the process of writing tools to support CVS. In the
long run it would be ideal if the library could provide access to repositories
provided by other revision control systems.
This documentation project will be followed by language-specific implementation
projects. I wish to separate the projects to make licensing issues easier, and
to distribute project management issues. The common documentation project acts
as a communication hub among the implementation projects, allowing them to
share improvements to the API and experience in implementing it.
LibCVS is already underway. It is currently hosted at libcvs.cvshome.org.
There is a common API description there (currently being overhauled), as well
as Perl and Objective-C libraries in development. The commencement of a C
library is in discussion.
Sadly the mailing list archives there are not currently working, which is
prompting this move to savannah.
Other Software Required:
The documentation currently uses dia for creating diagrams. If there is more
appropriate free software available, I will gladly switch.
