Bug#881896: RFP: src -- Simple Revision Control, single-file and single-user version tracking

[Mike Swanson]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: src
  Version : 1.17
  Upstream Author : Eric S. Raymond 
* URL : http://www.catb.org/esr/src/

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Simple Revision Control, single-file and single-user 
version tracking

Provides a powerful modern user interface against an RCS or SCCS backend
(RCS is more reliable and preferred), giving a command line familiarity
to users with modern Subversion, Git, Hg experience, as well as a
reasonable introduction to this toolset to novices.

SRC is designed to provide its strength for single-file, single-user
version tracking.  When it is overkill to make a whole directory and
multi-file repository store (under, for example, Git or Hg), src can
provide tracking for individual files instead.  Examples of such might
be your ~/bin scripts, /etc files, personal notes, résumés, and any such
file that would be awkward to contain in a wholly separate directory
just for version control.

To make things more visible toward my efforts on packaging this, I've
made available the work I have currently done on reposurgeon packaging

  Description : a tool for editing version control repository history

reposurgeon enables risky operations that version control systems
don't normally let you do, such as editing past comments and metadata
and removing commits.  It works with any version control system that
can export and import git fast-import streams, including git, hg,
bzr, CVS, and RCS.  It can also read Subversion dump files directly
and thus can be used to script production of very high-quality
conversions from Subversion to any supported DVCS.

repopuller uses svnsync to grab a local copy of a Subversion
repository, and may keep it up-to-date with subsequent runs on the
local directory.

repodiffer compares two repositories, either git repositories
themselves or two fast-import streams.  It allows an evaluation as to
the quality of repository conversion jobs, highlighting the
differences in the DAG.

Bug#588955: RFP: sccs -- SCCS implementation based on sources from OpenSolaris

[Mike Swanson]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: sccs
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Jörg Schilling joerg.schill...@fokus.fraunhofer.de
* URL : http://sccs.berlios.de/
* License : CDDL 1.0, autoconf scripts are GPL 2.0
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : SCCS implementation based on sources from OpenSolaris

Source Code Control System is an early version control system, and is
currently part of the Single UNIX Specification.  Although generally
considered obsolete and surpassed by newer VCSes such as Subversion,
Git, Mercurial, and so on, the original is still useful for looking
into some very old projects that may have been stored in SCCS.


Debian already has CSSC, which is mostly compatible but has some errors
in a few corner cases.  Particularly, the reason I'm submitting this
RFP is because I've been going through the CSRG archive sold by
McKusick, which as the original BSD tree maintained in SCCS, and CSSC
itself fails to properly read some items.  I used this SCCS package
and found no problems.
