I'm investigation a web based repository viewer for use with my CVSNT 2.5.03 (server) on Linux. I was looking at bonzai, but see that most of the posts on this site relate to ViewVC. I would be interested in anyone's opinion about these or others, but this is not the main reason for my post. I am more concerned about installing it correctly to work with CVSNT. These both want read-only access to the raw repository. Do they access cvs with a standard CVSROOT? if they don't, or if they only use "local", how does this work since it would be bypassing the lockserver? Does this create a problem? Is it best (from cvsnt's point of view) to run the web server and database locally on the same server as cvsnt, or on a different server, accessing the repository via an nfs mount? I realize this is usually not recommended, but I don't want to bog down my cvs server with unnecessary processes. Any info or previous experience would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
