+This tool is primarily intended for people tracking the development of
+FreeBSD and other open source projects with a public CVS repository.
This package provides three Perl scripts:
+ commitlog2cvsweb: converts FreeBSD commitlog files to HTML
+ cvsrdiff2cvsweb: converts output of "cvs rdiff -s" to HTML
+ cvsuplog2cvsweb: converts log output of "cvsup" to HTML
-They basically transform their input almost unchanged to HTML, adding

+They basically transform their input to HTML, adding hyperlinks to a
+cvsweb URL (cf. port devel/cvsweb) for each changed file. You can
+browse a log of file changes and click on anything of interest to see
+the details of the change.
+In order to use this tool you need:
1. access to a CVS repository of interest to you (either by
local/remote cvs or by cvsup)
- 2. WWW access to the repository with a cvsweb CGI.
-To use commitlog2cvsweb you have to mirror the src-base part of the
-FreeBSD CVS repository. This is currently (2001) about 17 megabytes.

-Other than saving you some typing (of URLs) these scripts won't do much
-for you. You probably don't need this unless you frequently use cvsweb
-or you got used to browse FreeBSD commit logs.
+ 2. WWW access to the repository with the cvsweb CGI.
+To use commitlog2cvsweb you have to track the cvsroot-common and
+cvsroot-src part of the FreeBSD CVS repository with cvsup. This
+requires some 25 megabytes disk space for the commit logs.
