Search CVS is a tool for converting cvs commits into a mysql database, which
can be updated without worry of data duplication. The database is then searchable
via a web page run on www.eclipse.org.
MySQL Server Quick Setup:
1. Extract the searchcvs/ folder from cvs and place it in your $HOME folder
on some server running MySQL 5 and PHP 4 or 5 with the MySQL module for MySQL 5 compiled in.
2. Customize setup.sh for your needs and run it to extract your code from cvs.
3. Load database tables using .dump files provided.
4. Edit includes/parsecvs-dbaccess.php. Run parsecvs.sh.
5. To make nightly updates to the data (reflecting the day's cvs commits), run parsecvs.sh as a cron like this:
#Min Hr Mday Month Wday Cmd
00 22 * * * $HOME/searchcvs/parsecvs.sh 2>&1 1> $HOME/searchcvs/parsecvs.log.txt
