The CVS repository # must be viewable in the browser throught ViewCVS. Useful when behind the # all too (in)famous fascist firewall and proxy. As I am behind one, this # served as an inspiration. I have extensively tested this on GNU Emacs and # XEmacs CVS repositories. # Internals: # o CVSHASH format # o ---------1----------2--------3--------------4------------5--- # o CVS ELEMENT NAME | TYPE | VERSION | UPDATION STATUS| PREV VER # o File or Directory path from Package root folder # o The 2nd field MUST be 'f' OR 'd'=> File OR Directory # o The 3rd field is the REVISION number. For directories '0' # o The 4th field MUST be 'n' => No updation required (like parity check) # o The 5th field stores the previous version for rollback # o Uses mark and sweep concept for finding modified entities # o Crawling is done by main thread # o Multi threaded for downloading only # Usage: # o Copy the script to somewhere in your path # o $baseurl must be the base URL for download link, NOT view link # o perl -S cvsget.pl # o Set environmental variables for PROXY (HTTP_PROXY) is using proxy # o Edit the user modifiable variables if you want default behavior # Dependencies: # o Needs IO::Handle, File::Path, LWP::UserAgent # Todo: # o May be use Berkeley DB/Sleepycat to store cvsdata # o Support downloading from CVS BRANCHES # o There are some SCALAR leakages... How do I fix them? # ChangeLog: # o Changed the seperator in cvsdata from ' ' to '|' # o Added command line options # o Made it more robust # o Added signal handler to commit changes for modifications # o LWP works! but needs more testing # o Can restore previous version when download fails # o Added support to CURL downloader (Experimental) # o Added basic proxy options # o Multi threaded downloading to speed up # o Provided thread count limit # o Check downloaded file size for non-zero (mainly for LWP) # o Reduced runtime memory usage #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other Software Required: PERL (preferably with threads) PERL LWP (libwww-perl, optional) GNU Wget Other Comments: "Rudy Gevaert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has checked and responded > Your file is ok.
