Re: Accessing the complete log (rlog)
Thank you all for your kind and quick help!
Indeed, I am really interested only in the commitlogs so I will
probably try Dan's solution first, then if I need more data, I'll follow
Mel or Giorgos's solutions!
Cheers!
Yann

If you want even faster results, you can *mirror* the svn repository
with svnsync :)
Then the diff options are exactly the same, but for the repo-url you can
use `file:///local/path/to/mirror', i.e.:
svn log -r '{1995-01-01}:{1996-01-01}' file:///svnroot/base/head/sys/ufs

If you cvsup the whole source tree and are just interested in reading the
commitlogs themselves, archived commitlogs going back to 1995 are stored at
/home/ncvs/CVSROOT-src/commitlogs .
You can also get them in mailing-list format by downloading the cvs-all list
archives from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/mailing-lists/archive/ .
Yet another option is to use the Subversion repository instead of CVS:
svn log -v -r 1:HEAD svn://svn.freebsd.org/base
will dump all commitlogs starting with the first. Probably not recommended
if you are going to scan through every commit, but handy if you want to pick
and choose, and much much faster than CVS. What changes were made to ufs
between 1995 and 1996:
svn log -r '{1995-01-01}:{1996-01-01}' svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/ufs

Easy work-around: hop over to /usr/share/examples/cvs/cvs-supfile. Read/edit. Install /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui. Run cvsup -L2 /path/to/edited/cvs-supfile cvs log locally, all you want ;) Space needed: # du -sh /home/ncvs 3.7G/home/ncvs (Though I think reading the commitlogs for starters would help a lot.

Accessing the complete log (rlog)
Dear FreeBSD, With some colleagues, we would like to study the evolution of FreeBSD. I would like to download the "changelog" file of all files/revisions of FreeBSD, typically using the following commands: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon...@anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs cvs login (Password: anoncvs) cvs rlog . > FreeBSD.cvs.changelog However, when using this command I get the error: cvs rlog: Logging . cvs rlog: Logging CVSROOT cvs [rlog aborted]: received abort signal Assertion failed: (strstr (repository, "/./") == NULL), function do_recursion, file /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../../../../contrib/cvs/src/recurse.c, line 643. Is it possible that you CVS server does not support "rlog" because of recursion? Do you think it could be possible to enable rlog? Thank you very much in advance, Yann -- Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc Ph.D. et ing. / Ph.D. and eng.
