Re: [Sandweb-users] test "diff" function of sandweb

[Rob H. <ro...@ro...>]

Hello,


SSH connections work fine. It's possible to use pserver, but it
poses pretty grave security risks ( it's intended to be run by
seperate users, not all under one Apache user like SandWeb is ).

Diff is rather lame at the moment, the most you can do is show the
difference between the file in your sandbox and the equivalent file
in the repository.

At some point I would like to fully implement the diff command and
be able to run diff on seperate files as well as seperate versions
of the same file ( regardless of the checked-out version ). Of course,
it's our intention to fully support all the CVS commands, but it's
going to take a while .. :) This feature won't be a huge leap, but
I'd like to stabilize and go to 1.0 without it.

You are probably better off using something like ViewCVS or CVSWeb 
to run diffs and examine the repository history, since they are installed
on the repo side they are alot faster and they already have these
features.

I think those kind of tools will always have a place, since SandWeb
is a client, it's not going to emulate all those features, and it
is not going to read the repository directly. I'd actually like to
integrate with those tools at some point ( this is even farther into
the future, after all CVS commands have been fully implemented.. :) ).
