viewcvs 1.0 dev

Does anyone know the status of the svn handling version of viewCVS. It seems to
have disappeared from sourceforge and no mention is made of it on the new tigris
site.

unfortunately there's no mention of svn handling there and the files only show
0.9[.x] versions.

at least you can get the sources via subversion and have a look at the
INSTALL file (e.g.
http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/brow...viewcvs-markup
)

yes I ahd it working and updated my freebsd and then couldn't locate the latest
version. If the svn head stuff from tigris works that'll do. On another point I
thought the whole point of sourceforge was that the files wouldn't get
removed/deleted. Does whining and begging work for "remove my old project"?

No: it's still there. The viewcvs viewcvs is at

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/viewcvs/

and the viewcvs CVS should be at (untested)
:pserver:an*******@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/viewcvs

OK I'm obviously being driven mad by successful attempts to stop me using the
project pages :( and the downloads can be removed. But anyhow if I'm cvs'ing I
might as well use the latest from tigris.

I can sympathize with the viewcvs people wanting to "hide" the CVS;
if they didn't, people would use it forever, and just wonder why it is
so outdated. I had the same feelings when moving the Python CVS off SF.

I can also sympathize with SF not wanting to let people completely
remove the code, because of open source principles. So this status
is a good compromise, IMO.
