Using CVS with pserver access with OpenGrok

Today I pushed two fixes into OpenGrok so that you may use OpenGrok on sources you checked out via the pserver protocol in CVS. From a performance perspective I would not recommend that you use this configuration, but it might be good enough for you if you just want to search your own projects.

With the latest development build of OpenGrok installed into /var/opengrok/bin and /var/tomcat6/webapps/source.war I was able to index and browse the PostgreSQL sources. I checked out PostgreSQL into /var/opengrok/source/pgsql, and executed the following commands:

trond@opensolaris> cd /var/opengrok
trond@opensolaris> java -jar bin/opengrok.jar -c /var/opengrok/bin/ctags \
                              -v -s /var/opengrok/source -d /var/opengrok/data -S -P \
                              -p /opengrok -n -r on -W /etc/opengrok/configuration.xml
trond@opensolaris> java -Xmx2g -jar bin/opengrok.jar -R /etc/opengrok/configuration.xml -U localhost:2424

Please let me know if you have problems getting this to work (or even better, admit that it is 2009 and move on to a more modern SCM system ;-) )
