CvsKnit is a suite for knitting up a CVS Repository from existing source packages with their original release dates.

* Now bin/cvsknit is just a wrraper (Become simple and small). The main story is separated into bin/ck_story.

* bin/ck_clean enables cvs checkout tree to 'dodge' some injection attacks by renaming special files. (ex.) CVS/Root <=> CVS/.#Root

Of course...
* You must know what the cvs is, what 'CVS Repository' mean, and how to use them.
* All test repositories are released 'as-is', and NO WARRANTY.
* Each source license belong to each open-source license. (see http://minix-up.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/l.cgi/\)
* You can knit by yourself.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cvsknit/cvsknit/defs/
* You can check inside via WWW (maybe the latest only).

This is first public but developing release of cvsknit.

We are already planning stable release (1.0), and will rewrite 0.9 as soon as possible.

If you feel interesting about it, please read everything carefully, and have a fun with SAMPLE definitions.

If you want to test it now ....

Short help:

cvsknit -V dir/ -- Verify directory
cvsknit dir/ ----- Knitwork start

How to knit automatically:

Two definition file wanted by cvsknit
in the directory:

Please see /cvsknit/defs/*
for exsample.

Now we (internally) released cvsknit, cvs-repository-making
script, for HOS (Hyper Operating System) developpers as an open
source product.

They had released many snap shot release packages as LHA
archives, and will use the cvsknitted repository (Eighteen
packages released for a half year, were knitted into one
repository) as their main cvs repository in SourceForge.jp.

So It's needded to be proved what knitted the found.... read more

CvsKnit allows knitting up existing source packages without cvs into a CVS Repository, with their originally release dates. You'll need a VM or a destructable machine for a safety time trip X-)
I already making this script in other project as a tool, and hope this to be an another project for other people.

The origin: minix-up project (SourceForge.jp)
