Cyclic Pharmacy page

Pharmacy is a user interface for CVS which will support multiple servers and multiple working directories.

The first versions will provide functionality for accessing anonymous CVS, performing diff's creating patches, etc. After we have a usable program for anonymous CVS, we will work on full CVS support. Later versions will support commits. Hopefully, I'll be able to add admin support at some time.

Pharmacy Advantages

• Cool name (at least if you are in the eastern United States).
• Fits into the GNOME environment. Probably also would work in a relatively generic X Windows environment, but I haven't played much with that.

Pharmacy Disadvantages

• Very much a work in progress (check the author's site mentioned below for updates, as any details we offered here would probably be out of date by the time you read this).
• Provides access to only a small subset of CVS's features.

Mailing lists and newsgroups

One newsgroup for Pharmacy (and other version control systems) is comp.software.config-mgmt. Or comp.os.linux.development.apps or one of the GNOME mailing lists would presumably be suitable as well.

Another appropriate mailing list is info-cvs which also covers CVS itself in addition to Pharmacy. To subscribe send mail to info-cvs-request@gnu.org. Traffic has been something like 5-10 messages per day.

Downloading Pharmacy

Download Pharmacy from the author's site below. Note that you'll need to get the relevant GNOME libraries; I didn't see an executable which was statically linked with them.
