Package details
CVSGrab is another kind of CVS client. When other CVS clients use
the cvs protocol or ssh to read the repository, this utility reads
the repository via its web interface, such as ViewCVS or CvsWeb.
The advantage is that if you are behind a firewall that prevents
you from updating files from a remote CVS server, this program
will be able to bypass the firewall and download the latest files
from the repository.
Disadvantages are that you have only read access to the repository,
the repository needs to be public and have ViewCVS set up.
Also, it adds a more important load on the web server, so try to
use this tool reasonably.
This package has no releases.
