Re: [viewvc-users] How to add a comments field to CVS_Roots

There's currently not a way to do this easily.  You can make it happen by
tweaking your roots.ezt template.  The quick and dirty way would be to
replace the line that says:

      [roots.name]</a>

With something like this:

      [roots.name]</a>
      [is roots.name "repo 1"]- This is for project A[end]
      [is roots.name "repo 2"]- This is for project B[end]
      ...

(just continuing the list down the line of your roots and descriptions).  It
won't create tabular output, but if you know a little HTML you can probably
figure out how to make that happen.

This has been requested several times over the past few years, though.  I'll
make sure there's a proper issue to track it, and consider a less painful
solution for future ViewVC releases.
