FENNER (???? - 1996) + 2. WWW (1996 - 2000) + 3. ZELLER (???? - 2001) + 4. KNU/SCOP (2000 - 2007) + 5. SCHWARZE (2019 - ????) + +The present HISTORY file first appeared in the SCHWARZE repository +on March 20, 2019. + + +Revision number overview +------------------------ +For the file cvsweb.cgi in the SCHWARZE repository, here is an +overview of revision numbers. See the text below for details. + + * 1.1 to 1.45: + main line of development in the WWW repository + * 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.37: + vendor import branch of KNU/SCOP into the WWW repository + * 1.45.2.46 to 1.45.2.91: + merges from KNU/SCOP into the WWW repository + * 1.45.2.92 and 1.45.2.93: + minor development continuing in WWW after the end of KNU/SCOP + + * 2.1 and following: + reserved for the ZELLER repository; no revisions yet + + * 3.1 to 3.119: + main line of development in the KNU/SCOP repository + up to the FreeBSD-CVSweb 2.0.5 release + * 3.119.2.1 to 3.119.2.9: + stable branch in the KNU/SCOP repository + up to the FreeBSD-CVSweb 2.0.6 release + * 3.120 to 3.297: + main line of development in the KNU/SCOP repository + up to the FreeBSD-CVSweb 3.0.6 release + * 3.298 and 3.299: + merge of post-KNU/SCOP development from WWW into SCHWARZE + + * 4.1 and following: + main line of development in the SCHWARZE repository + starting on March 20, 2019 + + +Symbolic revision names +----------------------- +The SCHWARZE repository contains the following symbolic revision +names (tags). They mostly follow the format used in the WWW and +KNU/SCOP repositories, but have been unified in some minor ways. + + * FreeBSD-cvsweb-2_0_: + official CVSweb version 2 and -stable (2.0.6) releases from KNU/SCOP + * FreeBSD-cvsweb-2_9_-beta: + the three CVSweb version 3 beta releases from KNU/SCOP + * FreeBSD-cvsweb-3_0_: + official CVSweb version 3 releases from KNU/SCOP + + * CVSWEB_v1__1_: + vendor import branch of KNU/SCOP into the WWW repository + is the revision number in the ZELLER repository, + corresponding to 2. revisions in SCHWARZE which do not yet exist + is the revision number in the KNU/SCOP repository + corresponding to 3. revisions in the SCHWARZE repository + * CVSWEB_v2_0_: + vendor import branch of KNU/SCOP into the WWW repository + for the CVSweb version 2 and -stable (2.0.6) releases + * CVSWEB_v3_0_6: + vendor import branch of KNU/SCOP into the WWW repository + for the 3.0.6 release; earlier CVSweb version 3 releases + were never imported into the WWW repository + + + +HISTORY DETAILS +=============== + +First phase (FENNER): Bill Fenner's CVSweb (??? - 1996) +------------------------------------------------------- +The CVSweb program was originally developed +by Bill Fenner . +So far, it is unknown whether he used a version control system +before September 28, 1996, and no version could so far be found +older than that date. + + +Second phase (WWW): FreeBSD-www repository (1996 - 2000) +-------------------------------------------------------- +On September 28, 1996, John Fieber imported +CVSweb into the larger FreeBSD-www CVS repository. Development +continued in this WWW repository with contributions from various +authors until July 18, 2000. + +The complete version history of this phase is preserved. +The revision numbers agree between the WWW and SCHWARE repositories +going from cvsweb.cgi rev. 1.1 to rev. 1.45. +Ingo Schwarze obtained copies of this part of the history +with the help of Wolfram Schneider +and Hiroki SATO in March 2019. + +The WWW repository eventually also contained copies of the files +cvsweb.conf, cvsweb.conf-freebsd, cvsweb.conf-netbsd, cvsweb.conf-openbsd, +and cvsweb.css, but all these files only appeared here as imported +versions of the files from the KNU/SCOP repository. For that reason, +the version history of these files in the WWW repository has no +independent significance and is not included in the SCHWARZE +repository. Consequently, the only file in the SCHWARZE repository +having revisions lower than 3.1 is cvsweb.cgi. + + +Third phase (ZELLER): Henner Zeller's CVSweb (??? - 2001) +--------------------------------------------------------- +At an unknown point in time, Henner Zeller forked the code of either +the FENNER repository or more likely the WWW repository and set up +his own, private CVS repository. In addition to Henner Zeller +himself, Henrik Nordström contributed significantly to the +development in this repository. + +No definite commit date is known before July 27, 2000, but the +repository was almost certainly begun much earlier because it already +contained 93 revisions of cvsweb.cgi at that point in time. The +last definitely known commit date to the ZELLER repository is July +24, 2001. So far, no copy of the repository itself could be found; +all information given here is derived from commit messages in the +KNU/SCOP repository. + +In the SCHWARZE repository, revision numbers of the form 2.* are +reserved for the ZELLER repository, in case a copy of that repository +should ever be found. + + +Fourth phase (KNU/SCOP): FreeBSD-cvsweb repository (2000 - 2007) +---------------------------------------------------------------- +On July 19, 2000, Akinori MUSHA forked the code +of the ZELLER repository and set up his own, private CVS repository. +By way of repository copy, his complete repository was later copied +into the larger FreeBSD-projects repository, using the directory +/projects/cvsweb/. +In an email sent to Ingo Schwarze on March 20, 2019, Akinori MUSHA +confirmed that he found his local CVS repository on his main server +and that it looks like the copy of the KNU/SCOP repository that +Ingo Schwarze obtained from the /projects/cvsweb/ directory on the +FreeBSD CVS server with the help of Wolfram Schneider and Hiroki +SATO does indeed contain the complete revision history of his +original repository. + +Development in this KNU/SCOP repository was at first predominatly +moved forward by Akinori MUSHA, merging improvements from the ZELLER +repository on many occasions and also making many improvements of +his own, until he finally released FreeBSD-cvsweb 2.0.0 from this +repository on November 7, 2001. He continued development until he +released FreeBSD-cvsweb 2.0.3 on May 22, 2002. After that, Ville +Skyttä joined him, and they continued development together until +the release of FreeBSD-CVSweb 2.0.5 on July 22, 2002. The original +revision numbers leading up to the 2.0.5 release in the KNU/SCOP +repository were 1.1 to 1.119. In the SCHWARZE repository, they +were changed to 3.1 to 3.119 to avoid clashes with the WWW repository. + +Because FreeBSD kept using CVSweb on the official website at the +time, the code from the KNU/SCOP repository was occasionally merged +back to the WWW repository, first on August 14, 2000 and last on +March 17, 2007. The revision numbers of this vendor import branch +agree between the WWW and SCHWARZE repositories, going from 1.1.1.1 +to 1.1.1.37. In the WWW repository, this vendor branch was repeatedly +merged into the trunk, with revision numbers from 1.46 to 1.91, +followed by two additional improvements in revisions 1.92 and 1.93. +In the SCHWARZE repository, the revision numbers of these merges +were changed to 1.45.2.46 to 1.45.2.93 because they are not part +of the main line of development which continues with revision 3.1 +(i.e. the KNU/SCOP repository) after WWW revision 1.45. Because +WWW revisons 1.92 and 1.93 (= SCHWARZE revisions 1.45.2.92 and +1.45.2.93) remain relevant but were never merged back to the KNU/SCOP +repository, both were merged to the KNU/SCOP trunk in the SCHWARZE +repository as revisions 3.298 and 3.299. + +After 2.0.5, development continued on two branches. The stable +branch in the KNU/SCOP repository led to the release of +FreeBSD-cvsweb-2_0_6 on September 26, 2002. Three more improvements +followed until development ceased on this branch on February 17, +2004. The original revision numbers of the stable branch in the +KNU/SCOP repository were 1.119.2.1 to 1.119.2.9. In the SCHWARZE +repository, they were changed to 3.119.2.1 to 3.119.2.9 to avoid +confusion with the WWW repository. + +The other post-2.0.5 branch in the KNU/SCOP repository was the trunk +and led to the release of FreeBSD-cvsweb-2_9_1-beta on October 5, +2003, FreeBSD-cvsweb-3_0_0 on February 26, 2004, and the final +FreeBSD-cvsweb-3_0_6 on September 25, 2005, followed by two more +bugfixes before development ceased in the KNU/SCOP repository on +December 3, 2005. The original revision numbers of the trunk in the +KNU/SCOP repository were 1.120 to 1.297. In the SCHWARZE repository, +they were changed to 3.120 to 3.297 to avoid confusion with the WWW +repository. + + +Fifth phase (SCHWARZE): CVSweb on bsd.lv (2019 - ????) +------------------------------------------------------ +On March 20, 2019, Ingo Schwarze set up a +CVSweb CVS repository on the bsd.lv server, preserving as much of +the history as could be found. Going forward with development, +revision numbers starting with 4.1 will be used for all files. --- /dev/null +++ LICENSE @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +$Id: LICENSE,v 4.1 2019/03/20 17:24:23 schwarze Exp $ + +All files contained in the CVSweb repository and distribution +are protected by the Copyright of the following developers: + +Copyright (c) 1996, 1997, 1998 Bill Fenner +Copyright (c) 1996 John Fieber +Copyright (c) 1997,1998,1999,2000,2001 Wolfram Schneider +Copyright (c) 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 Henner Zeller +Copyright (c) 1999, 2000, 2001 Henrik Nordstrom +Copyright (c) 2000, 2001, 2002 Akinori MUSHA +Copyright (c) 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Ville Skytta +Copyright (c) 2002 Ken Coar +Copyright (c) 2002 Dick Balaska +Copyright (c) 2002 Jens-Uwe Mager +Copyright (c) 2002 Vassilii Khachaturov +All rights reserved. + +See the individual files for information about who contributed +to which file during which years. + + +The CVSweb distribution as a whole is distributed by its developers +under the following license: + +Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without +modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions +are met: +1.
