[Bioperl-l] Bioperl CVS release differences

[Nathan Haigh]

Thanks Jason

With your help and some internet searching I found the following worked brilliantly, and thought I'd share it with people in case it
is of some use!

Login to CVS:
$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/bioperl login
PASSWD: cvs

Checkout Bioperl-1.5 into the local directory bioperl-1.5.0:
$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/bioperl -r bioperl-release-1-5-0 -d bioperl-1.5.0
$cd bioperl-1.5.0

Get the list of changed/new files in bioperl-1.5.0 compared with release 1.4
cvs -q diff --brief -N -r bioperl-release-1-4-0 | grep "^RCS"

However, this doesn't specify if the file was modified/added/removed. Something like the following works on WinXP:
cvs -q diff --brief -r bioperl-release-1-4-0 2>&1 | grep "^\(RCS\|cvs diff\)" | sort > files.log

    Example line from files.log of a modified file between 1.4 and 1.5 releases:
    RCS file: /home/repository/bioperl/bioperl-live/Bio/Species.pm,v

    Example line from files.log of a new file added since the 1.4 release:
    cvs diff: tag bioperl-release-1-4-0 is not in file Bio/FeatureIO.pm

    Example line from files.log of a file that was deleted since 1.4 release:
    cvs diff: doc/howto/html/e-novative.css no longer exists, no comparison available
