=== Release 0.5, December 1997 This was an informal release to Perforce, so James could see what it was like. === Release 1.0, January 30, 1998 - Contains several bug fixes you really want if you intend to use this for real. - Verified the results of a complete conversion of the NetApp Data ONTAP source base, by converting then doing file-by file comparisons of the results of checking trees out from both CVS and Perforce, across several branches. - Added minimal user documentation in the README file. - Added a minimal automated test script. - Placed under the Artistic license. === Release 1.0.1, February 3, 1998 - Incorporate James Strickland's README edits - make bin/* kxtext - bin/* script now find perl via PATH (it must be perl5 or they will fail). - MANIFEST doesn't try to check checksums on FreeBSD systems. - Added $CO to the test/config template file for specifying where to find the RCS "co" command - CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL defaults to "10" for running the test config, but "0" otherwise in the test/config template. === Release 1.0.2, February 9, 1998 - Incorporate README typos fixes from James Strickland - tests/* executables find Perl via $PATH - Remove dup entry for test/changes.good from MANIFEST - Remove "." from $check_submits in bin/dochanges (the "." was there for debugging, and, in effect, disables all output error checks on submits! === Release 1.1, March 10, 1998 - Change conversion client name from "dochanges" to "cvs2p4" - The CVS trunk is now created as "main" in the Perforce depot. - Converts "$Header: //guest/richard_geiger/utils/cvs2p4/NEWS#4 $" to "$Id: //guest/richard_geiger/utils/cvs2p4/NEWS#4 $" for text files. - Added support for "vendor" branches (RCS branch 1.1.1); becomes branch "import" in Perforce. - Added SYM_SPECIAL support for selectively importing top level subdirs of a CVS module via symlinks. - Optimizations for genchanges, which help *lots( with huge checkins of vendor-supplied branches (I.e., where there are many changes with large numbers of files). - Fixed a bug in genchanges such that, for purposes of change grouping, all revisions were considered to have happened in the midnight hour (plus the actual number of minutes after the hour at which they actually occurred). Taken with the other grouping hueristics, this was pretty benign, I think, but it's fixed now. - Fixed a bug wherein checkppoints were always trying to checkpoint the server at port 1666 on the host running the server. - Also, *only* do checkpoints at NetApp, 'cause they depend p4d_admin! - Take a checkpoint at the very end - Now detects binary files in additional ways: perl -B operator known list of binary file extensions (hardcoded into dochanges for now) (This helps where binaries were checked in to CVS but nobody told CVS by selecting a binary keyword expansion mode). - The diffs in the test stuff in 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 was inadvertantly disabled, so you could get false PASSes. Oops. Fixed. === Release 1.1.1, March 10, 1998 - Damn. The fix for multi-binary detection was not complete. It is now. Really. At least it had better be, I'm about to convert 25K p4 changes worth of our real source with this sucker... === Release 1.2 - Implement "dochanges -s <n>" to make the converter restartable. Yeah. - Added a couple of test cases for branch tags sharing tip & trunk revs. - Reimplement revmap to do per-revision stuff, to allow for merging. - Fix ALLTHEWAYBACK to look for the earliest non-trunk revision actually selected by any branch tag - not just the earliest one where a real branch was found. * This was the version used during our actual main CVS -> Perforce conversion on 3/20-3/21 1998. === Release 1.2.1 - Fix bug reported by Ed Rapoport, wherein: "There was a problem, however, in the case of cvs files where there were at least two branches with the second branch branching off the first, but not yet having a delta created in the cvs file (an "incipient" branch) The incipient branch name (br_orca_autocal in the example) got applied to its parent branch (br_orca_intermed in the example) and the parent branch name got applied to the child incipient branch in perforce." === Release 1.2.2 - Fix spurious error reports from the final diff (p4_describe vs p4_describe.good) when running the test cases with r98.2. (This was caused by an apparent change, in which the diffs produced by the r97.3 "p4 describe" include Id keyword expansions, but the r98.2 "p4 describe" does not). === Release 1.2.3 - Only attempt checkpointing if $CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL > 0. (So I can really turn it off in the config file!) - Fix bug reported by Todd LaWall <toddl@SiTera.com>, wherein: a branched file, that has not been changed since the branch was made, is dropped from the branch, if $BRANCH_FLASH is not defined in the cvs2p4 config file. (bug in genmetadata). === Release 1.2.4 - In some circumstances, "p4 files" can return a different error message for "p4 files foo", when "foo" doesn't already exist in the depot. This change allows "dochanges" to work properly when this happens. (The precise circumstances in which the alternate message is returned are not yet well characterized). === Release 1.2.5 - This adds adjustments for making cvs2p4 cope correctly with post-1999 revisions in the RCS archives being converted, as supplied by David Simon of Goldman Sachs. (Thanks). -------------------------------------- $Id: //guest/richard_geiger/utils/cvs2p4/NEWS#4 $

#23 | 1407 | Richard Geiger |
=== Release 1.3.2 - Reduce the memory footprint of bin/genmetadata. Previously, it was holding and sorting a complete copy of the metadata file "in-core" (as well as a copy of all of the RCS revision tags data!). This adds up quick, and some users saw genmetadata gobbling memory voraciously (and in some cases being running out, causing thrashing and/or process termination by the OS). genmetadata now keeps the metadata in a temp file, (sorting it in primary-key-sized chunks), and the revision tag information in a db-backed hash. - Fix the label handling so that _all_ perforce revisions based on the labeled cvs revision are included in the generated labels. Previously, one of the N "correct" Perforce revisions were being tagged (effectively, at random). This stems from the fact that lazy copying and branching are explicit in Perforce, but implicit in CVS. I.e., the "#1" revision in a new Perforce branch _appears_ to be a separate entity (identical to the revision from which it was branched. This means that to use the converted labels, it will be up to _you_ to remember what labels go with what branches: but that's the way it is in CVS, too. - A minor change in revmap to have a meaningful usage message, and properly handle the new rrevmap format. - dochanges correctly deletes revmap database files for either *.db or *.pag/*.dat style databases. |
||
#22 | 1388 | Richard Geiger | Put genmetadata on a memory diet. | ||
#21 | 1206 | Richard Geiger |
Genericize the "p4 labels" test case, and beef up the comments describing $TRUNKLINE in the config file a bit. |
||
#20 | 1204 | Richard Geiger | Package 1.3.1 | ||
#19 | 1203 | Richard Geiger |
Fix bug where dolables couldn't cope with tag in which the revision for a file was a delete Add the IMPORTTAGSPOOF switch. |
||
#18 | 1185 | Richard Geiger |
Changes for 1.3 (Labels!) |
||
#17 | 1031 | Richard Geiger | Changes for 1.2.17; fix one-letter id internal error bug. | ||
#16 | 823 | Richard Geiger | Add assert for dup d/f,v d/Attic/f,v (like "Giao Phan" <giao@seven.com> saw) | ||
#15 | 791 | Richard Geiger |
Update for a new release; my change-of-venue noted; desensitized to conflicting P4CONFIG. |
||
#14 | 474 | Richard Geiger | Reject files with bad characters per perforce filenaming conventions. | ||
#13 | 459 | Richard Geiger |
Now performs metadata sort using a sort routine coded directly in perl, rather than by using the host system's "sort" command. (Differences in "sort" behavior from one host to another had been observed to cause irregularities). |
||
#12 | 421 | Richard Geiger | Fix to the fix by Thomas Quinot. | ||
#11 | 416 | Richard Geiger | Pull in Thomas Quinot <quinot@inf.enst.fr>'s UTC bugfix, for 1.2.12. | ||
