Hi,
I'm interested in working on providing the functionality of CVS
as a library. I've created a project called libcvs on
cvshome.org to host the work. It's pending approval, so don't go
look yet.
I don't think there's anyone out there already doing, this, but
please tell me if I'm wrong. I'm sure the idea has come up in
the past, but I couldn't find discussion of it in the mailing
list archives. Is there a reason that nothing like this is being
done?
My incentive for this comes from my experience with writing tools
that wrap CVS. I found the parsing of the CVS output quite
cumbersome, and prone to failure when I brought it to a new site.
I know I'm not the only one who would benefit from such a
library, so it seemed like a good idea.
Of course there are lots of issues to be worked out, such as
source licensing, using the existing CVS source, accessing remote
repositories, and libraries in multiple languages. I look
forward to working out all of these problems.
Alex
