I got swamped, I'll look at this after dinner. But you might take a look at this: http://www.bitkeeper.com/press/2005-03-17.html which is a link to a very simple open source BK client. It doesn't do much except track the head of the tree but it does that well. It's slightly better than that, it puts all the checkin comments in BK/ChangeLog so you don't have to go over the wire to get those.
It's intended for someone who just wants the latest and greatest snapshot, knows how to do cp -rp and diff -Nur, it's pretty basic. It's not a CVS gateway replacement but it does work for every tree on bkbits.net. Just to be clear, we are not dropping the CVS gateway, this is "in addition to" not "instead of".
If this turns out to be popular we can look at making a BitTorrent image of each tree available so people can get at them without swamping us.
Don't worry about the license, it's a joke. BSD license OK with everyone? -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
