Hi there, I'm a big fan of the cvsweb tool, but there's something I think would make it much more useful. I requested this some months ago, and was told at the time that it a) was a good idea, b) should be easy and c) would be coming soon. It's been months, and a few releases, and it seems like it was lost in the shuffle, so please let me enter another plea for it: It'd be really great if CVSweb's "Age" column worked on directories, and told you when the last time a directory was modified. For instance, on the CVSweb page itself, instead of the current: File Rev. Age Author Last log entry css/ enscript/ icons/ ChangeLog 1.191 8 weeks scop Spelling fixes. INSTALL 1.36 6 months scop Release 3.0.5. NEWS 1.46 3 months scop Improved "Diff to" We'd see the most recent time anything in a directory was changed, and so would get this: File Rev. Age Author Last log entry css/ 12 months scop cvsweb.css:Combine CSS properties...... enscript/ 18 months scop lang_cvsweb_diff.st: Use a separate.... icons/ 2 years scop binary.gif: Show binary files with a... ChangeLog 1.191 8 weeks scop Spelling fixes. INSTALL 1.36 6 months scop Release 3.0.5. NEWS 1.46 3 months scop Improved "Diff to" That is, display the info for the most recently-changed file in a directory. That would be a tremendous help for tracking changes in a large project, if you just want to look at a directory and see what has changed. Currently, you have to descend into each subdirectory, which is a big pain. Pretty please? Thanks, Jon --- Dr. Jon A. Christopher OpenEye Scientific Software Solana Beach, CA www.eyesopen.com
