-Maxime Henrion is working on a rewrite of CVSup in C, called csup, and he
- has imported csup into the FreeBSD base system. It should be ready for use
- in a stable environment, but there are however still several missing
- features. The following list should be a good starting point:
+csup is a port of the cvsup high-speed CVS repository replication
+ application from the original Modula-3 to the C lanaguage. It is now
+ distributed with FreeBSD, but is missing some important features that would
+ make useful projects to work on:
- Add support for authentication.
+ - Working rsync support.
+ - Optimize rcsfile handling.
+ - Create a library out of the ports that might be of use in a C language
+ csupd.
- Add support for shell commands sent by the server.
- Add missing support for various CVSup options: -D, -a (requires
authentication support), -e and -E (requires shell commands support) and the
destDir parameter.
+ - Work on a new csupd.
