This project is maintained by Perforce staff, with individual
curators as shown below.
Eventually we'll split these utilities up into separate projects,
depending on their activity and growth. If you have a particular
interest in any or all of this project, and would like
to volunteer as a curator, please email us.

If you would like to contribute to one of the categories that 
does not have a curator yet,
you may request to have your submitted

This <b>CVS to Perforce</b> converter extracts metadata from a CVS repository
and generates a Perforce depot using Perforce client commands.  The
converter handles Attic/ and .cvsignore, and has flexible support for
branching.

Perforce Release 99.1 introduced server support for pre-submit
triggers.
Here are some example scripts
that can be used as triggers in a Perforce 99.1 (or later) server. 
These scripts were written and contributed by 
<a href="/guest/jeff_bowles/jab.html">
Jeff Bowles</a>
and <A HREF="/guest/wes_peters/pcp.html">Wes Peters</A>.

<sup>*</sup>How to interpret the &quot;Status&quot; field:
<ul><li>a smiley face means &quot;it's probably
simple enough to use without any worries that it'll corrupt or slow down anything&quot; ;
<li>a scared face means &quot;you probably want to read the comments
at the top of the script - this might need localization/tailoring or might have
performance implications you want to investigate before deploying on your production
Perforce server&quot; ;
<li>and &quot;under construction&quot; means just that - you can look, you can
make copies, but it's getting reworked at the moment.

# Change User Description Committed
#35 6283 Sam Stafford Update redirects to use new short URLs.
#34 6276 Sam Stafford Change old pages to http://public.perforce.com/wiki/ redirects.
#33 6060 michael Add link to svn2p4.
Clean up triggers section:
remove status column, status explanation, checkcase.pl reference
#32 6026 rlo Public depot fixes:
* Titles formatted similarly
* Navbar changed and shortened
* Change review taken out of navbar
* Links fixed
#31 6025 rlo Public Depot Redesign goes live
* Skin matches KB and latest WWW skin
* Rudimentary search mechanism based on google
* did this already, but made some big mistakes and it was easier to obliterate and start over
* about the above: yikes!
#30 5661 michael Reformat link.
#29 5660 michael Fix links to P4DB.
#28 5417 michael Update link to P4DB in Utils section.
Add security notice.
#27 5203 michael Add reference to authentication trigger examples
and rework section layout.
Remove defect tracking section.
Delete old GIFs.
#26 4906 michael Fix link to CheckC.pl trigger so that it points to something.

In this case, the P4Web filelog in Jeff Bowles' user branch
that shows: 1) the trigger is deleted at #head, and
2) makes the caveat about performance more obvious.
#25 4682 michael Add reference to the PVCS converter
recently branched into //public.

Remove redundant info on Perl and Perforce
version requirements. These are noted on the
project index pages.
#24 2179 rmg Fix vsstop4 link.
#23 2178 rmg Link in Robert's new vsstop4 index page.
#22 1683 rmg Add a link to David Markley's Java review daemon.
#21 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.
#20 1017 rmg Make the download behavior and naming (for p4notifyd -> p4notifyd.pl)
more consistent with other things in the Public Depot.
#19 1016 rmg Add two review daemons.
#18 968 rmg Change mail addresses from "info@perforce.com" to "opensource@perforce.com"
(now that the "opensource" address exists).
#17 780 rmg Take 2 for the p4db -> p4web conversion.
(change 788 redux)
#16 779 rmg Back out change 778.
#15 778 rmg Covert all p4db links into p4web links.
#14 691 rlo Typo fix
#13 690 rlo Rick Richardson's "p4wrapper" becomes a public depot utility.
#12 245 Laura Wingerd Add emacs p4merge files, belatedly, and removed link to
missing emacs integration, since the version we have is
really old.
#11 152 Laura Wingerd cvs2p4 goes public.
#10 149 Laura Wingerd Annoint Neil Russell curator of utils/c4.
#9 145 Laura Wingerd A 99.1-compatible perfbrowse.
(Integrated from change 142, change 143.)
#8 113 Laura Wingerd Pull in updates to sample triggers
(change 110, change 109)
#7 108 Laura Wingerd Update trigger descriptions
(see change 107, change 106, change 105)
#6 96 Laura Wingerd oops, typo.
#5 94 Laura Wingerd Re-org "triggers" directory -- it's now part of the
"Perforce Utilities" project.
#4 52 Laura Wingerd Minor web page format changes.
#3 51 Laura Wingerd Update copyright year.
#2 42 Laura Wingerd Fix links in index pages, add one for jam.
#1 39 Perforce maintenance Publish new Perforce Utilities Project index page.

#1 37 Laura Wingerd Prototype project index pages.
