Create ChangeLogs and CVS reports for projects stored on a CVS server with this software.
CvsChangelogBuilder offers a user-friendly interface that allows its users to easily organize text outputs by different criteria such as by date, file, log, or author. For example, it can help you determine which files were modified between two old versions by grouping text outputs by date. This can be used to prepare light diff packages for old customers. You can also sort a list of changes that were made during a particular time period - such as five days of your holiday - grouped by date. Furthermore, it can help you build a changelog ready to be included in your RPM %changelog section with the correct format.
With CvsChangelogBuilder, you can view how many commits were made on a particular file without having to scan the 'cvs rlog' output. Additionally, it provides an easy-to-use command line interface (Perl tool) that supports five types of outputs:
- buildhtmlreport: to build an HTML report of a CVS project activity
- listdeltaforrpm: to build a changelog to include in an RPM .spec file
- listdeltabydate: to build a changelog by date (is similar to 'cvs log')
- listdeltabyfile: to build a changelog by file
- listdeltabylog: to build a changelog by change comment
Overall, CvsChangelogBuilder is a helpful tool for managing project activities within the CVS environment. It is versatile, flexible, and efficient. Its command line interface makes it user-friendly and easy to use for both beginner and experienced users alike.
