  56. Perl code and documentation for the <b><tt>vcp</tt></b> (Versioned Copy)
  57. tool and <b>RevML</b> (Revision Markup Language).
  58.  
  59. <p><tt>vcp</tt> is a tool for copying revision controlled files between
  60. various SCM repositories.  For example, using <tt>vcp</tt>, it is
  61. possible to copy the contents of a entire Perforce depot (or part of
  62. one) into a depot on a different Perforce server or to copy the contents
  63. of a CVS repository into a Perforce server (or vice-versa).
  64.  
  65. <p>
  66. <tt>vcp</tt> currently supports bidirectional exchanges between any two
  67. of:
  68. <ul>
  69. <li>RevML
  70. <li><tt>CVS</tt>
  71. <li>Perforce
  72. <li>VSS (beta)</tt>
  73. </ul>
  74.  
  75. <p>RevML is an XML language that represents file revisions, such as
  76. those managed by Perforce and other version control and configuration
  77. management systems. RevML provides a generic way to represent revisions,
  78. distinct from any particular version control or SCM tool's format. It
  79. forms the basis for other tools that operate on file revisions.

  166. <p>VCP is primarily distributed as a single Perl file with most of 
  167. the prerequisite modules built-in.  This is available from:
  168. <a
  169. href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@md=d&cd=//public/revml/dist/&cdf=//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl@//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl">//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl</a>
  170.  
  171. <p>In order to modify VCP, you'll need a number of prerequisite modules
  172. installed and VCP itself.  The most up to date (and possibly unreleased)
  173. files comprising the current distribution of VCP (which includes the DTD
  174. and support files for RevML) are available for direct browsing and
  175. downloading from the Perforce Public Depot at
  176.  
  177. <blockquote><b> <A
  178. HREF="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/public/revml/">
  179. //public/revml/...</a> </b></blockquote>
  180.  
  181. <p>VCP may be downloaded from the Public Depot using any Perforce
  182. client software.  End users should (for now, in beta mode) use the
  183. dist/vcp.exe and dist/vcp-rh8 binaries.
  184.  
  185. <p>Only developers should sync from the repository and read the README and
  186. INSTALL documents.

       Move documentation info abov...e source code browsing info

#5 1994 Barrie Slaymaker Make VCP the primary subject of the page instead of RevML.
       Poi...nt to the HTML docs in the repository browser. «		 23 years ago
#4 1992 Barrie Slaymaker Add VSS notification. 23 years ago
#3 1155 rmg The change to utils/index.html was required to get the page
       to... render better with Netscape 6.2. (Without the closing </B>
       tags, the whole page from the Depot Browsers section on down
       rendered bold...!)

       I made the same logical change to the other four for consistency,
       though they didn't seem to suffer from the same problem.

       p4dti/index.html still doesn't render right under Netscape 6.2,
       but it's from a different patterns and I couldn't see a quick
       clean fix... so I didn't mess with it for now. «		 23 years ago
#2 776 rmg Adjust the revml index (per feedback from barries and others)
and point the top level ind...ex link at it. «		 24 years ago
#1 775 rmg First cut index page for RevML. 24 years ago
