Derek Price and I recently (20008?) unforked the Savannah version of log_accum and integrated it upstream.

You can find the script at /subsystems/cvs/usr/local/bin/log_accum.pl and http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/contrib/log_accum.pl

CVSROOT/loginfo files are mass-generated via infra/cvs/generate_log_accum.pl, but there are plans to integrate that in Savane.

To update our version of log_accum.pl:

  chroot /subsystems/cvs
  cd /usr/local/bin/upstream
  cvs update
  cd ..
  make # substitute @PERL@

Features we need

Notes

Previously, Savannah created very small subsystems relying on vanilla chroot(2), one per CVS directory

Cons:

We actively discussed among all the Savannah stakeholders in order to drop it, and agreed. The plan was then to switch back to a setup where all repositories are at the same level, possibly in a per-service (not per-project) subsystem.
