[Monotone-devel] state of the monotone tools? |

Hi all,
We've been contemplating an end-of-year sort of timeframe for
switching to monotone, so I decided to take a look around and see how
the various tools *around* monotone were coming. I'm a bit
concerned....
The tool that I'm most concerned about replacing is
viewvc/bonsai (we currently use both). One feature that we use quite a
lot is to list all revisions made to a particular file (or directory) in
a certain timeframe. Or, what changes did so and so make within the
entire repo during some timeframe.
>From what I can see, the possible candidates to replace our use of
viewvc are:
* viewmtn
Seems like the front runner, semi-active and does a lot of what
viewvc does. Author notes that it can't do a visual diff of two
arbitrary revision (but viewvc can). Doesn't seem to have either of
browse type features listed above.
* guitone
Has some nice features, doesn't seem that active. Supposed to
implement at least the first of the above features, but perhaps only
when querying a workspace, not a database. Didn't seem to work when I
tried a windows binary that I downloaded.
* monotone-viz
Not sure about this one, haven't tried it in awhile. IIRC it
did a lot of what I wanted the last time I played with it, but seemed
slow and a bit quirky.... (sorry), I'm downloading what I hope is a more
recent windows binary, but it's not moving too fast at the moment.
* monotree
The contrib./tools page lists two versions, one java and one
.net, but both links go to the .net version. The .net version can't be
used in a commercial environment, so is no good to me.
Has anyone made an effort to try and get viewvc to speak monotone? I
may try it myself (although since I don't use python it won't be that
quick) but if someone knows of a reason it won't work, I'd like to know
in advance....
Thanks,
