Browsing the repository via the World Wide Web (ViewCVS)
--------------------------------------------------------
-Unfortunately, direct web browser access to the Subversion repository is only
-available with Apache 2.x, which I am not running on the repository host.
+ViewCVS access to the repositories has been discontinued because it wasn't
+working very well.
-ViewCVS is sometimes broken entirely; and its support for Subversion
-repositories is still alpha quality. If it doesn't work, please use one of the
-alternative resources enumerated above.
-To access the repository via ViewCVS, point your web browser at the following
-URL:
- http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/
-
-When attempting to use ViewCVS, even when it appears to be working, you may
-encounter some problems.
-
-The biggest one is that ViewCVS doesn't know how to traverse backwards across
-copy or rename operations. For instance, if you're trying to view the following
-URL:
- http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tags/4.2.1-7/debian/changelog?rev=99&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
-
-You'll get an error like this:
-
- /cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tags/4.2.1-7/debian/changelog: unknown location
-
-(Plus further error messages.)
-
-This is because revision 99 of the "changelog" file was committed before the
-Subversion copy operation that placed the debian directory into the tags/4.2.1-7
-location. Eventually, it is expected that ViewCVS will support history
-traversal across copy and rename operations, so please be patient, and do not
-report errors of this exact sort to me, the ViewCVS Debian package maintainer,
-or to the ViewCVS upstream author(s). All of us are well aware of the issue.
-
-You may also occasionally experience failures due to permission problems. This
-is due to the perversity of the Berkeley DB software, and is corrected by the
-repository administrator as soon as possible.

Browsing the repository via the World Wide Web (snapshots)
----------------------------------------------------------
-If Subversion and ViewCVS do not meet your needs, you may be interested in the
-daily snapshots that are taken of the repository and selected development trees.
+If browsing the repositories via a Subversion client does not meet your needs,
+you may be interested in the daily snapshots that are taken of the XFree86
+repository's trunk and selected development branches.
