LibCVS Specification

$Date: 2005/08/15 21:21:36 $

LibCVS specification is a GNU project which defines an API for accessing CVS repositories. There are several implementations currently in progress.

In addition to defining the API, it acts as a communication hub for the developers of the various implementations, to discuss issues around LibCVS implementation, and CVS interoperability in general.

History

This project was originally hosted at http://libcvs.cvshome.org/, which also included several implementations under a single project. The specification has now been split off into its own project, hosted here. The implementation projects are also migrating to Savannah.

Implementations

There are also some non-LibCVS libraries which may be of interest.

Specification

The specification is still in Alpha state, so only the most recent version is available. When a library makes it to production quality, the matching specification will be assigned a version number and made an official version.
