=== 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#51 $" to "$Id: //guest/richard_geiger/utils/cvs2p4/NEWS#51 $" 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 $BRANCH_FLASH is not defined in the cvs2p4 config file. (bug in genmetadata). === Release 1.2.4 - In some circumstances, "p4 files" can return a different error message for "p4 files foo", when "foo" doesn't already exist in the depot. This change allows "dochanges" to work properly when this happens. (The precise circumstances in which the alternate message is returned are not yet well characterized). === Release 1.2.5 January 3, 2000. - This adds adjustments for making cvs2p4 cope correctly with post-1999 revisions in the RCS archives being converted, as supplied by David Simon of Goldman Sachs. (Thanks). === Release 1.2.6, January 18, 2000. - The conversion scripts should now be able to cope with shell metacharacters (notable, ' ' and '$') in file names. This has not been thouroughly tested, so if you do have such files, please pay particualr scrutiny to them. === Release 1.2.7, April 5, 2000. - A fix for a bug that caused genmetadata to croak when it encountered an RCS file with the default branch set, a la "rcs -b1 file,v" === Release 1.2.8, May 11, 2000. - Handles cr/lf line endings in RCS archives. === Release 1.2.9, May 16, 2000. - Allow "." in "id" symbols in RCS files. (Author names like "ralph.spoilsport") === Release 1.2.10, August 24, 2000. - Tolerate "empty" RCS ,v files that can (reportedly) be created due to certain failing cvs operations. (These files will be ignored; previously, they would cause a fatal error in genmetadata). === Release 1.2.11, August 30, 2000. - Skip (and note) ,v files with nonprintable characters in the fileame. === Release 1.2.12, September 11, 2000. - Includes a bugfix, supplied by Thomas Quinot <quinot@inf.enst.fr>, to correctly handle the fact that RCS timestamps in repository files are in UTC; this was causing the timestamps to be off (by the difference between UTC and the Perforce server's local time) in converted depots, and, in some cases, cause outright failures. (I.e., when the UTC time had never existed in local time, due to daylight savings transitions.) === Release 1.2.13, September 12, 2000. - Fixes a bug (resulting in bad date translations) introduced in the bugfix in 1.2.12. (Fix supplied by Thomas Quinot). === Release 1.2.14, November 20, 2000. - 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). === Release 1.2.15, December 12, 2000. - Now rejects filenames with illegal Perforce characters. (Fix supplied by Doug Quist). === Release 1.2.16, August 27, 2001 - Reflect my recent job (and email address) change - Changes some of the default values (and names) of "config" file variables, to better match the environment I'm most like to work in now. - Change all "p4" invokations to explicitly specify P4PORT, P4CLIENT and P4USER on the command line, so as not to be confused by and P4CONFIG files that might otherwise come into play. === Release 1.2.17, November 5, 2001 - Add an assertion for duplicate filenames d/f,v & d/Attic/f,v (This is not valid in a CVS repository!) - Fix a bug where one-letter identifiers would cause an internal error in genmetadata. (Bug reported by Rich Ireland <rireland@enterasys.com>) === Release 1.3, December 26, 2001 - Add Change [0-9]+ renamed change [0-9]+ and submitted.\$ to $check_submits in bin/dochanges and recognize the /^Change \d+ renamed change (\d+) and submitted\.$/ form of the success message. Allows messages about change renumbering, so cvs2p4 can be used to import to an existing (nonvirginal!) server. Note that I *don't* claim this works completely now, but from my experience at Orca a year ago, this was the only bugaboo that bit. Note also that it's still the user's obligation to insure that there are no pathname overlaps with files that already exist. *That* is guaranteed not to work! - First whack at support for creating Perforce labels from CVS tags. CVS *branch* tags are treated as branching information, (same as ever), but plain old tagged revisions get built into Perforce labels. The Perforce labels are created with the default (all-depot) view mapping. The mods involved changes to genmetadata (to remember the label info), dochanges (to make the RCS-to-Perforce revisions map (the existing revmap went the other way, so now we have both), and a new stage "dolabels" to create and populate the labels. Also sundry files for test cases & machinery. This implementation has not yet been tested a great deal with real road mileage, but, alas, this time I'm adding the feature for other, rather than as part of my own big conversion effort. So, we'll see. - revmap output for the Perforce -> RCS direction is now cleaner. - Finally, in putting in the support for labels, I was forced to look a lot closer at a lot more of the code than I have in some time. Needless to say, there's much I would do differently a second time around (and considering the tool to be more than a one-use thing to begin with!). Also, I'm now armed with enough knowledge, I think, to do a fast "direct to metadata" conversion... === Release 1.3.1, January 4, 2002 - Make dolabels ignore errors from "- label in sync.", which happens when the revision of a file in the label is a delete. - Add the $IMPORTTAGSPOOF option (see test/config comments for details) === Release 1.3.2, February 5, 2002 - 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. === Release 1.3.3, February 9, 2002 - Yet another fix for label handling, when files which had been moved to the Attic/ in CVS have been readded. === Release 2.0b1, April 15, 2002 - This release contains a major overhaul for performance. The "dochanges" and "dolabels" stages now directly generate checkpoint-format Perforce metadata, and then replay it with "p4d -jr" in order to create the Perforce metadata; also, the generated metadata causes the RCS archives in the CVS repository being converted to be used directly. Thus, the time-consuming "replay" of Perforce operations is avoided. "genmetadata" and "genchanges" remain unaltered in this release. - The modification times on individual file revisions are now correctly preserved in the converted Perforce database (in previous versions, the changelist times correctly reflected the times of the original CVS submits, but individual file revisions times were set to the time of conversion). === Release 2.0b2, April 16, 2002 - Add $CHECKBIN config option to control whether RCS revisions are checked out to apply the perl -B operator as part of determining what revisions should be treated as binary in Perforce. - Make the list of file extentions to be treated as binary a config file item ($EXT). - Add $COPYIMPORT (and command line -c) to dochanges, to request that the CVS tree be copied into (rather than linked to from) $P4ROOT/depot/IMPORT. === Release 2.0b3, April 17, 2002 - dochanges now writes a record for the change counter! (Previously, it was left uninitialized, so the converted server would try to allocate change #1 again.) === Release 2.0b4, April 29, 2002 - dochanges now writes a record for the upgrade counter counter. it also checks the p4d version to verify we have 2002.1 or better, and does a p4d -xu if later than 2002.1. === Release 2.0b5, April 29, 2002 - handle binaries correctly. Since we're using imported RCS ,v files in the archive, we need to make binaries "binary +D" (or "xbinary +D"). Add a .gif to the tests to test this. === Release 2.0b6, May 1, 2002 - handle Attic files correctly - this required a change from the old version (and required touching genmetadata), since we now use the old RCS archive tree in place (or a copy thereof). - dolabels now closes the labels journal file explicitly. Previously, the subsequent "p4d -jr" could see premature eof to due buffered data, and the last bunch of labels in the dblbls file would not be converted. - fix a bug that broke conversion of files that had been deleted and then re-added in CVS; upon re-adding the file, it would be given revision #1 agian, instead of the next unused revision number. - added a couple of test cases for these. Many thanks to Fan Zhang of Numeritech for helping to wring out these problems! === Release 2.0, May 6, 2002 No functional change since 2.0b6; This becomes the first public release of cvs2p4 2. === Release 2.1, July 10, 2002 Change to handle RCS branch tags (so this tools can work with RCS (vs CVS) repositories, too!) RCS branch tags are those with an even number of "."s. === Release 2.2, July 18, 2002 You can now choose the Perforce filetype you'd like to have ALL of your text files imported with. As long as it's "text" or "ktext" :-). See the "$TEXTTYPE" configuration item. For "developers": Added a new test/getgood script to grab the test comparision files which have changed with a "runtest -gengood". Less tedium. Made the test/phone.gif,v a binary (-kb) RCS file, so we really test that. Fixed a bug in dochanges, wherupin the command to create a symlink to the RCS archives was being created in copy mode, provided the copy did not fail. Reported by John Wong (jw at unicom.com.au). Added a new config item "DEADSTATE", for saying what RCS state value means "deleted" in Perforce. It defaults correctly for CVS, so if you're converting real CVS, you can just leave this as-it. === Release 2.3.1, July 30, 2002 Now always run p4d with an explicit p4d -r, in case the user's environment has a P4ROOT set. genmetadata now reports both the CVS file archive path and the converted file path as it processes each file. This makes it easier to tell what RCS archive file caused a problem if the file cannot be parsed properly. The scripts now use the more modern tie()/untie() database interface, instead of the older dbmopen()/dbmclose() interface. The scripts assume the presence of the DB_File (Berkeley DB 1.x) module. This means that you are no longer left to the whim of the dbm support compiled into your perl. Certain dbm implementations, notable that in recent Solaris, caused problems. If you don't have DB_File support for your perl, you'll need to find the tie() statements in the bin/* scripts, and modify them to use some dbm package that you do have on your system. $P4_DEPOT can now be set to something that doesn't start with "//depot/", and things will work properly (a new depot specification will be created in the converted database). Added README notes about conversions that merge into an existing depot. === Release 2.3.2, September 3, 2002 Add $DEPOT config item, allowing RCS archives to appear as $P4ROOT/$DEPOT/$CVS_MODULE; I.e., with $DEPOT set to "depot/IMPORT", the RCS archive files will end up under "depot/IMPORT/<modulename>/<filepath>"; With $DEPOT set to "depot", they will be, simply, "depot/<modulename>/<filepath>". This makes it easier to make later merges of subsequently imported changes easier. Changed the database open code to allow setting the size of hash buckets (allows large conversions without running out of space for hash table pages). Handle label names with '#' or '@' by substituting "_hash_" and/or "_atsym_" into the converted label name. (Thanks to Marc Tooley of Perforce Support for supplying these imporvements). === Release 2.3.3, October 28, 2002 Changes to start coping with MKS Source Integrity conversions. This change allows genmetadata to simply ignore (and hence, to continue working!) the "ext" and "format" keywords that MKS Source Integrity apparently adds to the rcs repertiore. This could possibly be recoded to deal with arbitrary new keywords, but I don't want to go there now. Note that there *may* be other gotchas when attempting to use cvs2p4 to convert MKS SI repositories, which may be addressed by future changes to cvs2p4: 1. It appears that MKS may compress (gzip) binary ,v files, but *not* rename them to reflect this. Very odd. 2. It appears that MKS may allow a larger character set (than pure RCS) in legal symbolic names. I can probably fix cvs2p4 to deal with these pretty easily, but we should also consider whether any of the MKS names might be illegal in Perforce (and thus needs some sort of translation). Intrepid users setting out to use this tool to convert MKS into Perforce are encouraged to send problem reports to "opensource@perforce.com". === Release 2.3.4, November 21, 2002 This change corrects a problem introduced when cvs2p4 was given the ability to handle RCS branch tags. Essentially, when files (like the "datefile" test file) have RCS tags on the 1.1.1 branch, the scripts, which fake an "import" branch tag for this same revision, can get confused. This change forces the 1.1.1 branch to be known only as "import", always. === Release 2.3.5, August 26, 2003 - Fixes a spurious test failure when using the "test suite", presumably caused by changes in the diff algorithm (hence in p4 describe output) in Perforce 2002.2. The test will report success correctly for 2003.1 and earlier supported releases (see the README file for the current list of supported releases. - For added safety, the $DEPOT tree of imported RCS archives is made read-only after being copied, so as to prevent changes to any of the files containing the imported revisions. === Release 2.3.6, October 7, 2003 - Added "use bytes;" to all of the bin/* scripts, so that newer perls, which apparently do Unicode by default, won't. (I don't know whether any RCS's ever do Unicode, anyway. - Also, made a tweak to the test/runtest script, purported to be necessary for the tests to work correctly on some Solaris systems: 217c217 < my $p4d_vers = `$P4D -V | grep ^Rev`; --- > my $p4d_vers = `$P4D -V | grep '^Rev'`; rmg $ I don't know why this might be needed; some shell treating '^' as a metacharacter, I guess. (I seem to recall csh doing something with it, but isn't perl supposed to alway exec the "system's command shell", which, I thought was always /bin/sh on Unixes, but then, hey, it's Solaris, right? Anyway, it's benign. === Release 2.3.7 - Add the "HOW TO PACKAGE MODIFICATIONS" section to the README file. === Release 2.3.8, April 19, 2004 - Correctly handle symbol names that begin with a {num}. === Release 2.4, July 23, 2004 - fix dochanges so that <test_conv_dir>/depotmap is run correctly. - Improved rcstok function in genmetadata to better cope with binary files. Previous version was potentially taking a *very* long time... [Thanks to Robert Cowham, robert@vaccaperna.co.uk for this fix!] - Added two new template functions, "branch_for_tag()" and "rev_on_branch()". These allow dolabels to act much more intelligently about applying labels to the correct branch, only, and may result in a very significant savings in terms both of running time and disk space. For now, see the comments bin bin/dolabels (seach for "branch_for_tag") for an explanation of how to use this. When these function are NOT defined (as in the default as-shipped state), dolabels behavior will be the same as in previous releases. [Thanks to Kate Ebeneter and the iPod people for helpng to test this!] === Release 2.5, January 3, 2005 - The converter now handles the newly admitted (in Perforce 2004.2) special characters '#', '*', '%', and '@' (in client filesystem pathnames) properly. === Release 2.5.1, April 25, 2005 - This adds an (experimental) switch ($PureRCS in the config file) intended to aid in conversions from "pure RCS" repositories. By "Pure RCS", we mean that the repository was not have been created using CVS, and so lacks CVS branch tags. With $PureRCS = 1, the conversion will be done using, for each file, the numeric RCS branch names found in RCS. "Change aggregation", using the standard hueristic is still performed, and labels are imported as usual. The intent is that Perforce style branching can be established as a post-import operating, by do integrations based on labels known to correspond to a logical branch. === Release 2.5.2, April 25, 2005 - bugfix for the new $PureRCS feature... always use the RCS branch number for #1 revs, not the internal ...0.n number! === Release 2.5.3, April 26, 2005 - bugfix: 2.5 added support for '#' and '%' in filenames (to match newer Perforce servers, which now allow these). DUe to a bug, however, these characters were being effectively transposed in the result of the conversion. === Release 2.5.4, May 28, 2005 - Add bin/srcdiff, a tool for more easily comparing checked-out versions of a src from CVS and (posto-converto) Perforce. Helpful for easing worry in the minds of doubters in cvs2p4's fidelity. You can doubt *my* fidelity, but don't go doubting that of my tools! (no apostrophe). === Release 2.5.5, September 29, 2005 - The conversion now detects files where the default RCS branch is set to "1.1.1", and treats such files as if the "import" branch (1.1.1) were on the branch designated as "main" (usually, the trunk). This can be desirable for files which have been repeatedly "cvs imported" with multiple "vendor-drops", but no revisions have been checked in on the trunk after the first revision, AND you want the latests of the vendor drops (i.e., the head of the 1.1.1 branch) for the file. It's possible somebody might want the old behavior, but for now, I am going to leave the new behavior hardwired, as it may be more generally correct. - A bug affecting labels on files whose pathnames contain Perforce special characters has been fixed. -------------------------------------- $Id: //guest/richard_geiger/utils/cvs2p4/NEWS#51 $

=== 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. |

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). |
