Meta-CVS 1.1.98 (1.1 branch)
Meta-CVS is version control system created around CVS. It retains most of the features of CVS while adding support for first class directory structure versioning, storage of symbolic links, and versioning of execute permissions and user-defined properties. Meta-CVS greatly simplifies branching and merging by keeping track of what is merged where. It records file types and automatically assigns a CVS keyword expansion mode to newly added files whose suffixes match previously recorded types. Meta-CVS also has an importing feature that automatically figures out renames and moves, making it possible to easily keep up with patches from multiple sources in spite of directory structure changes.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Major changes have been made to how Meta-CVS is built. It now adheres to the de-facto configure/make/make install standard. A C compiler is no longer required, only an installation of CLISP (but only glibc and cygwin are supported target platforms, since the program now targets the platform ABI directly rather than through C wrappers). The output of certain commands is now automatically filtered to convert the F-hex names to paths.Image

CVS: move part of repository (branch) to SVN server

Hi all, We have CVS server running for few years with absolutely no problems. Because of conditions not depending on me, I'm forced to move some part of our repository to another server (SVN).

cvs-debc

CVS-DEBC(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debc [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debc  is  run  from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
       .changes file generated in that run.  It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running  dpkg-
       deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
       as the .changes file.  It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All  current  cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
	      See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They  are  provided	to
	      mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
	      The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
	      The name of the package.

       -Vversion
	      The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
	      Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
	      The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
	      This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.
