ViewCVS Updated (and now called ViewVC)

Sometimes we don’t realize how much time has passed since we last worked on something. In this case it was viewcvs.cgi. Chris Johns reported that it was crashing under certain conditions. A quick review said that we had a version dated 1999. It apparently served us well and quietly for 11 years. A lot has changed in those 11 years. Now many of the web packages we used to install by hand are available as RPMs. So the old version has been removed and a standard RPM version installed. This has broken all URLS using the old installation. The new URL is here.

This version has a number of features we didn’t have in the old one. If you know of specific features you would like to see enabled, please speak up. We will check into turning them on.

If there are problems, please report them.
