That's a good idea, but I don't feel that it's quite appropriate in this case. The Perl LibCVS is intended to be useful for writing such tools, and it will be included as an example there. Furthermore, the Perl LibCVS is quite a lot of code, since it implements the cvsclient protocol. Alex -- http://libcvs.cvshome.org/Access CVS through a library.

cvs branch date
How can we get the date of branch created through tag command or using Tortoise CVS utility on windows. I know we cand get creation date of tag or branch from cvs history command on command promt but it gives the report only on tags and branches created through cvs rtag command.

Unfortunately, that's the only support CVS supplies for keeping track of tag usage. CVSNT (which is the default back-end for Tortoise CVS, IIUC) _might_ provide additional support, but you're more likely to get a good answer by asking in a CVSNT mail list. You can write a script that hooks into taginfo, but unfortunately that will only help with any tags applied after the script is implemented. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
