Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

Description:
ViewVC is a browser interface for CVS and Subversion version control repositories. It generates templatized HTML to present navigable directory, revision, and change log listings. It can display specific versions of files as well as diffs between those versions. Basically, ViewVC provides the bulk of the report-like functionality you expect out of your version control tool, but much more prettily than the average textual command-line program output.

pkg-message:
For install:
To use ViewVC, modify the configuration file located at /usr/local/viewvc/viewvc.conf. If no webserver was selected during installation, then a rc script for running ViewVC standalone is installed. To enable the standalone ViewVC server in rc.conf use parameter viewvc_enable="YES". You can also adjust the user which runs the ViewVC standalone server with the parameter "viewvc_user". If you want to run the ViewVC standalone server with another IP/PORT, use the parameter "viewvc_flags". To see all available parameters, use the command /usr/local/viewvc/bin/standalone.py --help To use ViewVC with Apache or lighttpd as a CGI script, see the following config examples. Example config lines for Apache 2.4 =================================== <IfModule wsgi_module> WSGIRestrictSignal Off </IfModule> <IfModule !wsgi_module> ScriptAlias "/viewvc" "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi" </IfModule> <IfModule wsgi_module> WSGIScriptAlias "/viewvc" "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/wsgi/viewvc.wsgi" </IfModule> <Location /viewvc> Options NONE +ExecCGI </Location> Example config lines for lighttpd ================================= server.modules = ( "mod_alias", "mod_access" ) alias.url += ( "/viewvc" => "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/cgi" ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/viewvc/" { index-file.names = ( "viewvc.cgi" ) cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "/usr/local/bin/python3.11", ) } Note: Cvsdb (Bonsai-like repository query) feature is not stable and have some incompatibility on DB data with any released version, (and it may be also incompatible with any feature release).
If upgrading from < 1.3.0:
Please review your vievc.conf, see viewvc.sample.conf ====================================================== - the template path has changed - the vhost notation has changed Additional upgrade informations: https://github.com/viewvc/viewvc/blob/master/docs/upgrading-howto.html Note: Cvsdb (Bonsai-like repository query) feature is not stable and have some incompatibility on DB data with any released version, (and it may be also incompatible with any feature release). So if you want to use this feature, make sure to make back up of existing DB and then rebuild your DB data with cvsdbadmin/svndbadmin.
