Hi. I've got an archive of a PHP framework. The archive contains the 55 official releases and patch levels to date. It is NOT an SVN/CVS repository, just a directory for each release and expanded content in each directory.
There are just over 111,000 files in total. What I'm looking for is a quick way to see the differences between the different versions for a particular file. To that end, the idea I've got is to have a two panel display. The left panel is a tree view of combined contents of all the versions (but missing the version from the tree). library framework class1.php class2.php class3.php So, if a file is added in version x, it will appear in the appropriate place in the tree. The second panel will somehow display the versions and the differences between the versions. My backend is PHP. I'm happy in producing and caching the diffs (the diff between version A and version B will never change, so once generated, a cache will be fine. The idea is to be able to see the evolution of a class through its releases and to be able to see the changes. I'm pretty sure I'm reinventing the wheel here to some degree. For the tree, I was thinking of using something like ExtJS, but I don't know enough about the licensing issues going on in there. I like Prototype, but there doesn't seem to be the UI components for Prototype/Scripty that other libraries have. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the frontend on multiple source trees. That can easily be handled server side with a small list on screen to choose the project and tree style. So. What suggestions do you have.
