Im an absolute beginner on SCCS and CSSC, and I have the task to convert a SCCS repository currently on a Sun server to a CVS one running on Linux, so for what I've been reading, the easiest way around is to go for CSSC on linux and then converto to RCS and then to CVS.
I' ve been toying a little bit with the sccs2rcs.csh script I found over the internet and in the CVS distribution, but I have some questions maybe you can help me with:
sccs2rcs seems to be planned to be executed in each folder you want to convert ( at least thats what I understand) but my repository is a big tree with s.* files in some of the leaves (not in everyone of them) and the the leaves can be as far as 6 or 7 steps from the repository root. Is my understanding about sccs2rcs.csh correct? and if so , whats the best way to convert such a tree? ( I dont have any SCCS directory along the branches)
I read in some archived emails from this list some mentions to a perl version of this script, is this a more powerful version? where can I get it?
This is a more philosophical (or down-to-earth practical, from other point of view :-) ) question:
as my conversion involves also converting a lot of shell scripts written above SCCS, providing the intelligence for a "user-friendly" version interface, to somethgin compatible with CVS, I thought maybe I can divide the project and as a first stage go to CSSC on Linux and get the system running there and then in the future convert it to CVS. So, my question is, is CSSC reliable to have a something running on it on a regular basis? or is it just a needed step on the conversion but not a soft to be used for a "production" instance?. I have read the caveats on CSSC page about this, but wanted to know abotu any implementation that is using CSSC as an engine for a day to day version control operation.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards
Néstor
