SYNOPSIS

       .   cvsuplog2cvsweb [--cvsweb=URL] [--urlsuffix=STR] [--branch=TAG]
           [--cvsrootdir=DIR] [--output-file=FILE] cvsup.log

       .   cvsuplog2cvsweb --version

DESCRIPTION

       The cvsuplog2cvsweb program takes a logfile from "cvsup" and converts
       it into HTML. Names of changed (added, updated or deleted) files are
       replaced with hyperlinks to a "cvsweb" CGI script.

       This means you can click on any of the updated files and see the CVS
       log (change history) and have access to all the revisions and deltas.

       ("cvsup" is written by John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>. It is a network
       distribution package for CVS repositories. The cgi-script "cvsweb.cgi"
       was originally written by Bill Fenner <fenner@freebsd.org> for the
       FreeBSD project. It allows browsing of CVS-repositories with a
       HTML-browser. CVS is a popular version control system.)

       Options may be abbreviated to a unique prefix. The options are as fol-
       lows:

       --cvsweb=URL
           Specify URL of cvsweb.cgi script.

       --urlsuffix=SFX
           Specify some extra information for appending to generated URLs.
           (You should not type a leading "?" or "&" character because it will
           be added automatically.)

       --branch=TAG
           Tell "cvsweb.cgi" that you are only interested in file revisions on
           the specified branch.

       --output-file=FILENAME
           Specify the output file. If no output file is specified then stan-
           dard output is used.

       --cvsrootdir=DIR
           Add HTML "file:" links to non-versioned (rsynced or appended)
           files.  The directory DIR is prepended to the generated "file:"
           URLs.

       --version
           Print version information and exit.

FILES

       "cvsuplog2cvsweb" looks for a configuration file in three places.

       o   If the variable "CVSWEB_CONVERTERS_CONF" is set in the environment
           its content is interpreted as the name of the configuration file,

       "cvsup -g -h cvsup.de.freebsd.org -L2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/sta-
       ble-supfile >cvsup.log"

       Now you want to know what all this source updates are about and invoke

       "cvsuplog2cvsweb --cvsweb=http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ --branch=RELENG_6
       cvsup.log >cvsuplog.html"

       Finally open cvsuplog.html with your favourite browser!
