This README file will be kept +up-to-date from release to release. BUT, we must point out that these +contributions are really, REALLY UNSUPPORTED. In fact, we probably +don't even know what some of them really do. We certainly do not +guarantee to have tried them, or ported them to work with this CVS +distribution. If you have questions, your best bet is to contact the +original author, but you should not necessarily expect a reply, since +the author may not be available at the address given. + +USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- and all that stuff. + +"Unsupported" also means that no one has volunteered to accept and check +in changes to this directory. So submissions for new scripts to add +here are unlikely to be accepted. Suggested changes to the existing +scripts here conceivably might, but that isn't clear either, unless of +course they come from the original author of the script. + +If you have some software that works with CVS that you wish to offer it +is suggested that you make it available by FTP or HTTP and then announce +it on the info-cvs mailing list. + +An attempt at a table of Contents for this directory: + + README This file. + + clmerge A perl script to handle merge conflicts in GNU + style ChangeLog files . + Contributed by Tom Tromey <tromey@busco.lanl.gov>. + + cln_hist A perl script to compress your + $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history file, as it can grow quite + large after extended use. + Contributed by David G. Grubbs <dgg@ksr.com> + + commit_prep A perl script, to be combined with log_accum.pl, to + log_accum provide for a way to combine the individual log + messages of a multi-directory "commit" into a + single log message, and mail the result somewhere. + Can also do other checks for $Id and that you are + committing the correct revision of the file. + Read the comments carefully. + Contributed by David Hampton <hampton@cisco.com>. + + cvs2vendor A shell script to move changes from a repository + that was started without a vendor branch to one + that has a vendor branch. + Contributed by Greg A. Woods <woods@planix.com>. + + cvs_acls A perl script that implements Access Control Lists + cvs_acls.html by using the "commitinfo" hook provided with the + "cvs commit" command. + Contributed by David G. Grubbs <dgg@ksr.com>. + Enhanced by Peter Connolly <Peter.Connolly@cnet.com>. + + cvshelp.man An introductory manual page written by Lowell Skoog + <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net>. It is most likely + out-of-date relative to CVS 1.3, but still may be + useful. + + debug_check_log A shell script to help analyze sanity check failures. + Contributed by Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>. + + descend A shell script that can be used to recursively + descend.man descend through a directory. In CVS 1.2, this was + very useful, since many of the commands were not + recursive. In CVS 1.3 (and later), however, most of + the commands are recursive. However, this may still + come in handy. + Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net> + + dirfns A shar file which contains some code that might + help your system support opendir/readdir/closedir, + if it does not already. + Copied from the C-News distribution. + + intro.doc A user's view of what you need to know to get + started with CVS. + Contributed by <Steven.Pemberton@cwi.nl>. + + log A perl script suitable for including in your + $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo file for logging commit + changes. Includes the RCS revision of the change + as part of the log. + Contributed by Kevin Samborn <samborn@sunrise.com>. + + log_accum See commit_prep. + + mfpipe Another perl script for logging. Allows you to + pipe the log message to a file and/or send mail + to some alias. + Contributed by John Clyne <clyne@niwot.scd.ucar.edu>. + + pvcs2rcs A perl script to convert a PVCS tree to an RCS tree. + + rcs-5.7-commitid.patch + Patch to RCS 5.7 sources of 1995-06-16 to support + the newphrase 'commitid' used by CVS and CVSNT. + + rcs-5.7-sameuserlocks.patch + Patch to RCS 5.7 sources from 2003-10-24 + submitted to both help-rcs@gnu.org and Redhat. + Included in many Redhat GNU/Linux distribution + RPM files. A new -S switch to the co command + will disallow the user to check out the same + file twice. + + rcs-5.7-security.patch + Patch to RCS 5.7 sources from 2001-01-05 + included in many GNU/Linux distributions as applied + by Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com> + tmpfile security patch from Olaf Kirch <okir@lst.de>. + + rcs-to-cvs Script to import sources that may have been under + RCS control already. + Contributed by Per Cederqvist <ceder@lysator.liu.se>. + + rcs2log A shell script to create a ChangeLog-format file + given only a set of RCS files. + Contributed by Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>. + + rcs2sccs A shell script to convert simple RCS files into + SCCS files, originally gleaned off the network + somewhere (originally by "kenc") and modified by + Jerry Jelinek <jerry@rmtc.Central.Sun.COM> and + Brian Berliner <berliner@sun.com> to increase + robustness and add support for one-level of branches. + + rcslock A perl script that can be added to your commitinfo + file that tries to determine if your RCS file is + currently locked by someone else, as might be the + case for a binary file. + Contributed by John Rouillard <rouilj@cs.umb.edu>. + + sandbox_status + sandbox_status.man + Identifies files added, changed, or removed in a + checked out CVS tree; also notices unknown files. + Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net> + + sccs2rcs A C-shell script that can convert (some) SCCS files + into RCS files, retaining the info contained in the + SCCS file (like dates, author, and log message). + Contributed by Ken Cox <kenstir@viewlogic.com>. + + verify_repo A perl script to check an entire repository for + corruption. + Contributed by Donald Sharp <sharpd@cisco.com>. |
