CVSTrac - A Web-Based Bug And Patch-Set Tracking System For CVS (via vsbabu.org) CVSTrac is bug and patch-set tracking system for use with CVS.

• It provides mechanisms for tracking changes and bugs.
• Features Automatically generates a patch-set log from CVS check-in comments
• User-defined database queries with configurable colors
• Web-based administration of the CVSROOT/passwd file
• Built-in repository browser 
• Uses a built-in SQL database engine (SQLite) - no external RDBMS required
• Tested under Linux - probably also works on other versions of Unix GNU Public License

I really like the built in Wiki mode and the built-in SQL engine in this CVS server.

This could come in handy on the next project I'm about to start.

This could come in handy for several projects that have already started. Would love to see some screenshots before taking the dive. GNUPL, too. Thanks for the link Sanjay.
