checking out xml source from CVS?
Hi -
The development team I'm on is going to be writing a lot of documentation
in the next few weeks. I'd like to use Cocoon for publishing our docs.
However, we'll no doubt be keeping our docs under source control in CVS.
Is there any way to for Cocoon's generators to do checkouts from CVS?
I'm sure this question has come up before, but I couldn't find anything.
tia,
Jon

I didn't know that. That's good to know. I wanted to try out JCVS some
weeks ago,
but never found the time. So I probably first try out the Forrest stuff.

hm
since Forrest is Cocoon-based, it means it will remain alpha for
plus-minus 2 years, being discussed on forrest-dev solely and will only
be released in beta when it has a feature set that baffles people who
haven't been following the project since the beginning :-)
seriously: work is planned on the DTDs, but what is out there is pretty
good (if I can say so), the main skin is really almost finished, the
sitemap will need some cleansing over the next two weeks, but other than
that, I was planning to send some 0.1 alpha release mail before I leave
for holidays (Aug 10th)
if you are on a lookout for some tarball, don't bet your future on it:
it will just be an archive of the CVS repository
a lot of features aren't tackled yet, mainly project metric stats,
packaging forrest for local project runs, and 42
so it really depends on what you want and what feature you would exactly
be depending upon
don't be afraid to visit us at forrest-dev@xml.apache.org and step
forward with your specific questions - we are facilitating technology
and depend heavily on user involvement
HTH,
</Steven>

How mature and/or feature complete do you consider Forrest. Or put another
way, when do you see a beta release of some sort?
Thank You,
Anthony

Nope, except that our own directory layout and build process are
designed after Centipede (Centipede is 'just' a generic directory layout
and template build environment to start a project with). The liaison
between Apache and Krysalis is not 'official', but you should consider
Krysalis as some kind of breading room for Apache projects (sort of):
same license, same policies, etc. Nothing to worry about - you wouldn't
even know it if we hadn't put the reference up there.

Hello Steven,
I noticed that one of the projects that Forrest depends on is "Centipede"
which is maintained by Apache people however isn't not a in "Jakarta"
repository. Does that imply something about the project?
It does, however, seem to be an exciting project!
Thank You,
Anthony

Jon,
have a look at Forrest - http://xml.apache.org/forrest/ - a project
documentation system built on top of Cocoon. It does support CVS -
automatically extracting sources from CVS and building them remotely. I
have a feeling it should be almost everything you're looking for.
