Aegis Aegis is a transaction-based software management system. It provides a framework within which developers work on changes independently, and coordinates integrating those changes back into the master source code. The program supports geographically distributed development. Aegis supports distributed and multiple repositories, change sets, multiple lines of development, multiple simultaneous active branches, and branching to any depth. It enforces a development process which requires that change sets "work" (they must build successfuly and optionally include and pass tests) before being integrated into the project baseline. It also ensures that code reviews have been performed. The program also supports long transactions, which allows appropriately created changes to be treated as if they were projects and therefore to have changes made to them. This allows a hierarchy of changes within changes, to any depth. Each project is a separate repository, with separately configurable policies.

ArchZoom ArchZoom is a Web-based browser for the GNU Arch revision control system with minimal requirements and decent configurability. It provides easy-to-use navigation from managed archives to complete revision trees and features multiple views, like expanded changeset information with colored diffs inline.

Authz-tools 'authz-tools' is a set of tools to manipulate authz files (as used by mod_authz_svn). It currently contains two utilities:

authz-tool -- extracts and modifies information in a
authz file from command line
authz-admin -- a cgi when you have numerous repositories served with
help of SVNParentPath directive (see mod_dav_svn
module documentation)

Bazaar Heckert gnu.small.png Bazaar (``bzr``) is a version control system that helps you track project history over time and to collaborate easily with others. Whether you're a single developer, a co-located team or a community of developers scattered across the world, Bazaar scales and adapts to meet your needs. Part of the GNU Project, Bazaar is free software sponsored by Canonical. For a closer look, see ten reasons to switch to Bazaar

Blame 'Blame' displays the last modification for each line in an RCS file. It is the RCS equivalent of CVS's "annotate" command. An annotated RCS file describes the revision and date in which each line was added to the file, and the author of each line.

Bonsai 'Bonsai' lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive. You can get a list of checkins, and see what checkins have been made by a given person, on a given branch, or in given time. It also includes tools for sxamining checkin logs and comments, doing diffs between various versions of a file, and finding out who is responsible for changing a particular line of code ("cvsblame"). It is built to run against CVS using Perl, MySQL, and your favorite webserver to display checkin history, log information, diffs, and other assorted pieces of information in easy to parse HTML.

BzrPublish BzrPublish is a simple tool that makes it easy to create releases from a project under bzr control. Commands are provided for creating tarballs, publishing beta and official releases, and for publishing development logs and repositories over SSH.

CIA 'CIA' is a system for tracking free and open source projects in real- time. It features announcement of commits via IRC, a Web interface, XML-RPC, and RSS feeds. The codebase is easy to extend to support message types other than commits, and new ways to deliver them.

CVS Version control system and important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Lets you record the history of source files and documents. It's similar to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis programs, but has the following significant advantages over RCS:

  • runs user scripts to log operations or enforce site-specific policies
  • lets separatedevelopers operate as a team
  • vendor branches keep versions separate, but also merge them if needed
  • unreserved checkouts let developers work simultaneously on the same files
  • flexible modules database maps names to the components of a larger database
  • runs on most Unix variants; clients for Windows 95/NT, OS/2, and VMS available

CVSGraph CvsGraph is a utility to make a graphical representation of all revisions and branches of a file in a CVS/RCS repository.

CVSHistory CVSHistory is a Web-based tool for browsing CVS activity. It integrates with ViewCVS or CVSweb, supports sorting, range selection, and regular expession-based searching, and works with any CGI-capable Web server.

CVSNT CVSNT is a client/server version control system designed to support a wide variety of CM models including Reserved, Unreserved, Distributed and Centralised on GNU/Linux and other systems over both high speed local networks and low speed wide area networks. CVSNT Server has additional features designed for implementing modern CM best practice including: Audit, Access Control Lists, Change Sets, Merge Points, Commit Identifiers, Atomic Checkout.

CVSSearch CVSSearch searches for code fragments using CVS comments. Since a CVS comment describes the lines of code involved in the commit and that this description will typically hold for many future versions. CVSSearch lets you to better search and understand the most recent version of the code by looking at previous versions. For each line of code in the most recent version, we build a profile consisting of all CVS comments that involved that line in past commits. This profile is used not only to search the most recent version of the code but also to understand what the code does --- including its motivation and history.

CVSToys "CVSToys' is a collection of companion tools for CVS (Concurrent Versions System). It currently consists only of FreshCVS, which performs actions (including notification by email, HTML, RSS, or IRC, updating a working copy, and rsync'ing to backup) in response to a commit. Users receive one notifications per commit, not one per directory of the commit as loginfo-triggered scripts tend are to do. FreshCVS is extensible with Python; notifications may be published by a Perspective Broker network service, so 3rd party clients can listen in.

CVSTrac CVSTrac implements a low-ceremony Web-based bug and patch-set tracking system for use with CVS. Features include automatic changelog generation, repository change history browsing, user-defined bug database queries, Wiki pages, and Web-based administration of the CVSROOT/passwd file. CVSTrac operates either as CGI or as its own Web server. It automatically generates a patch-set log from CVS check-in comments, and includes a built-in repository browser. It is simple to setup and has minimal memory, disk and CPU requirements, so it runs effectively on old hardware. Access permissions are separately configurable for each user, and anonymous users are allowed. Since the program uses a built-in SQL database engine (SQLite), no external RDBMS is required.

CVSps CVSps is a program for generating 'patchset' information from a CVS repository. A patchset is defined as a set of changes made to a collection of files, and all committed at the same time (using a single 'cvs commit' command). This helps you see the big picture of the evolution of a cvs project. You can see the history of committed patchsets, restrict by author, date range, files affected, branches affected. The program can also generate a diff of a given patchset. It essentially gives you the equivalent of tagging before and after each commit.

Ccvssh 'ccvssh' is an external program called by cvs (via the :ext: method) which connects to remote CVS pservers through an SSL connection to a stunnel daemon. It is a reimplementation of 'cvssh' in C, and is fast and easy to use.

Cervisia Cervisia is a graphical frontend for the CVS version control system. It runs with any window manager or desktop environment (not just KDE). Features include:

  • Update or retrieve the status of a working directory or single files
  • Importing into the repository
  • Diff against the repository and between different revisions
  • Annotated view of files
  • See log messages in tree and list form.
  • Conflict resolution in a file
  • Tagging, branching
  • Updating to a branch/date
  • Changelog editor
  • Command to see the last change in a file

Cl2html 'cl2html' converts a CVS log into chronological HTML output to give an overview of the CVS activities in a project. HTML output can include links to sources and patches, using viewcvs.cgi.

Colorsvn colorsvn is a Subversion output colorizer. It was extracted from kde-sdk, and was extended with build process and configuration.
