Hi Oliver,
Yes, a libCVS would be nice. A google search on "libcvs" turns up some interesting results, there might be a nice starting point somewhere. I am seriously considering implementing an abstracted version of the client/server protocol in Perl, I was sent a perl module that already does a few of the functions ( I sent a private email to James Richardson regarding an old post in the CVS archives, he sent me what he developed ). The client implementation currently doesn't deal with meta-data directories, but once that is in and the client/server implementation is complete in the module I *think* it should be perfect for the project I am working on ( since SandWeb is a CGI, I'd rather have it live completely in Perl than to make calls to external programs. There are *alot* of pros/cons to this approach, the #1 thing I don't like is not reusing available Unix programs like SSH and CVS. I do think that it makes a more consistent, multi-platform choice to go pure OO Perl though, and any modules we come up with can be reused easily on CPAN ). However, this is probably a long term sub-project, and thanks to other members of the list we will probably use some expect/ssh/cvs hackery to get SSH support for SandWeb in the short term.
