cvschangelogbuilder is an Perl utility to generate ChangeLogs or CVS reports for a project hosted on a CVS server. Features include the ability to work with a remote cvs repository, detailed reporting, graphical HTML reports and building changelogs.

cvschk is a Perl program which allows you to see the status of your own CVS directories, without access to the CVS repository. It shows which files you changed, made locally, and which ones were deleted.

cvsd is a wrapper program for cvs in pserver mode. It will run 'cvs pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail. cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file. It is relatively easy to configure and tools are provided for easily setting up a rootjail. This server can be useful if you want to run a public cvs pserver. You should however be aware of the security limitations of running a cvs pserver. If you want any kind of authentication you should really consider using secure shell as a secure authentication mechanism and transport. Passwords used in cvs pserver are transmitted in plaintext and this wrapper won't change that. This server adds a layer of security to cvs. cvs is a very powerful tool and is capable of running scripts and other things. By running cvs in a rootjail it is possible to limit the amount of "damage" cvs can do if it is exploited. It is generally a good idea to run cvsd without any write permissions to any directory on the system.

cvsdadm is a tool to assist CVSd administrators in the user admin of the CVSROOT/passwd, CVSROOT/readers, CVSROOT/writers files when pserver authentication is being used for the repository. cvsdadm is a fork of cvspadm.

cvsdelta summarizes the difference between a CVS project and its local version. It detects files that have been added and removed, and of existing files it counts the number of lines that have been added, deleted, and changed. It filters project changes by using .cvsignore files, both system-wide and locally. Requires ruby.

cvslines extends the capability of the cvs commit command, to provide extra support in managing multiple concurrent lines of development. cvslines is a "wrapper" facility that helps out with merging changes between various cvs branches, where the branches represent different lines of development.

CVS Monitor is an CVS repository browser. It provides visibility of activity in CVS to developers, management, and the general public. Features: * Look at any repository anywhere - CVS Monitor can act on any repository that has at least a public read-only account, even if you don't own the repository * Aggressive Caching - all statistics, and most pages, are generated purely from the cached information * ChangeSet Visibility - present changes to the repository in ChangeSets, a single change involves new revisions on multiple files * Tracker Integration - CVS Monitor can be easily integrated with your Bug tracking or Request tracking systems

Cvsplot is used for collecting statistics from CVS controlled files. Simple statistics such as how the total number of files and lines of code change against time.
