It aims to provide a high degree of +integration with CVS and the other Horde web-based tools. + +Right now, Chora comes close to matching existing CVS-Web scripts +feature for feature, and provides a solid base for future development. +Some exciting new features include a visual branch viewing tool, which +intelligently displays the branch history of a given file. Branches have +traditionally been a source of confusion when using CVS, and this +feature aims to make it a bit clearer and easier to use. + +Chora is designed from the ground-up with customisability in mind, since +CVS is used in a variety of different ways. Because of this, all the CVS +manipulation logic is abstracted away in our CVSLib library module. The +main PHP scripts are simple HTML rendering scripts, while the complex +RCS logic is hidden away in the library. This library can be used for a +variety of other uses, such as searching for commits, graph generation, +change collation, etc (all features planned for eventual inclusion into +Chora). +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
