We'll be deploying a new dev.eclipse.org server cluster this summer. Let's upgrade ViewVC to the latest version and Nova-ify the skin.
Matt, I'm assigning this to you. There are a few versions of the Nova skin that you can employ for this ... I would recommend the version on http://git.eclipse.org since it uses all the screen surface.
I've setup a trial deployment(dev.eclipse.org/nviewcvs) and we're going to have to make a change. Right now we have a 'single' point of entry (/viewcvs although /viewsvn points there as well) and you can switch back and forth via the repository drop box. This feature has been remove from the new version, so we'll need to do an install for each VCS type. -M.
I think it would be best if the default page was the 'roots' page http://dev.eclipse.org/nviewcvs/viewvc.cgi?view=roots (That page doesn't currently work for me) since it's not immediately obvious that there is anything other than the Eclipse project.
I've set that as the root page. I'm trying to work out a way to correctly map the old urls to the correct 'new' urls(with the deprecation of index.cgi and split of CVS and SVN) although if we keep only one instance for both VCS types we just need a single re-write rule. Thoughts? -M.

However is most simple for us, easy to understand for users and will work :)
Ok I've put the new version live and links to the old locations should just work. -M.
Matt, when I go to this page: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/ I can see the Eclipse Project repo. However, I can no longer switch to the other repos. Can you add a prominent link (preferably in the same location where the old combo was) to the root page? http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi?view=roots

That is a side effect of the new version not supporting the drop box to switch roots, and with the compatibility mode on the 'default' view is the Eclipse repo(just like it used to be). > Can you add a prominent link (preferably in the same location where the old > combo was) to the root page? I've added a link to 'Other repositories" after the index tag. Just to document this you can click on the little '/' and get the root view as well. If you visit /viewcvs you'll be shown the roots view by default. -M.
