Dhruva Krishnamurthy <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: CVS repository download and synchronize
System name: cvsget
Type: GNU
Description:
A PERL script to download/synchronize from REMOTE CVS repository for users
behind Firewall and Proxy.
CVS cannot be used if 22, 2401 and 443 ports are blocked. Using the ViewCVS Web
front end, this script downloads the files.
It uses GNU Wget for the actual remote file download. There are other tools
written in JAVA (like CVSgrab), they are prone to errors.
Some features/dependencies:
1. Uses PERL
2. Uses GNU Wget
3. Downloads the CVS using ViewCVS front end
4. Synchronizes using revision numbers (not time stamp)
5. Handles deletion of files on remote CVS (part of sync)
6. Quite modular, easy to maintain
Other Software Required:
1. PERL (tested on 5.8)
2. GNU Wget
Other Comments:
Free the users wanting to access CVS from fascist firewalls
