Never said they were. CVSweb is an http (or some could argue, an HTML) interface to cvs. And XYZ (whatever that is) would be an XML interface to cvs. Would it have been better if I used HTML instead of HTTP as my example?

I don't know. I've not heard of WSDL until now. Reading http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl, I think my answer is yes. The primary reason for wanting CVS repository data in XML format is for data interrogation in order to populate a database. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
