So, what is StatCVS? Great statistics for CVS!

StatCVS retrieves information from a CVS repository and generates various tables and charts describing the project development, e.g.

• Timeline for the lines of code
• Lines of code for each developer
• Activity by Clock time
• Authors Activity
• Author activity per Module
• Author Most Recent Commits with links to ViewVc
• Stats per directory
• File count
• Average file size
• Largest files
• Files with most revisions
• Directory Sizes
• Repository Tags Number of LOC per version.
• Repository tree with file count and lines of code
• LOC and Churn the evolution of LOC and the amount of change per day
• Repo Map the dynamic hierarchical view of your repo for the last 30 days

The current version of StatCVS generates a static suite of HTML documents containing tables and chart images. StatCVS is open source software, released under the terms of the LGPL. StatCVS uses JFreeChart to generate charts.

Quick Start

First, download StatCVS.

Check out a working copy of your project from CVS. You need the CVS command line client (CVS for Unix or CVSNT for Windows). Typically, the command looks like this:

cvs -d /cvsroot checkout modulename

Create a CVS log file:

cvs log > logfile.log

Run StatCVS:

java -jar /path/to/statcvs.jar /path/to/module/logfile.log /path/to/module

This command creates the HTML reports in the current directory.

More details are available from the Manual . It also has all the options for customizing the reports. If you run into problems, consider asking for help on the statcvs-users Mailing list .

Note: StatCVS can only generate reports for the main branch.

Where is the manual?
