  60. If you haven't heard about
  61. <b>Perforce, the Fast Software Configuration Management System</b>,
  62. head over to our
  63. <a href="http://www.perforce.com">home page</a>
  64. and read all about it.
  65.  
  66. <P>
  67. We've set up this Public Depot to enable software developers outside
  68. of our company to contribute to the growing body of supporting programs
  69. and documentation of interest to our users.
  70. Among the first open source development projects we've initiated
  71. into the Public Depot are
  72. <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/webkeeper.html">
  73. WebKeeper</a>,
  74. an Apache Web Server module for accessing files in a Perforce depot,
  75. and
  76. <a href="http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html">Jam</a>,
  77. a fully portable alternative to <i>make(1)</i>.
  78. <P>
  79. If you're interested in contributing to any of the software or
  80. documentation in the Public Depot, read on to find out how. Or, if
  81. you're simply interested in seeing how Perforce works, you'll find
  82. the Public Depot to be an accessible model of
  83. real, distributed, concurrent source management in action.

  89. One of Perforce's many distinguishing features is that it can be used
  90. over the internet to track shared software development.
  91. A Perforce server stores files
  92. in a <i>depot</i>, and developers all over the world can submit
  93. changes to the depot. The orderly management of file changes
  94. and merges is provided by the Perforce SCM system.

  291. If you're simply curious about our Public Depot, please browse freely
  292. using one of the following products we have set up on this site:
  293.  
  294. <DL>
  295. <DT>
  296. <A HREF="perforce/webkeeper/README.WEBKEEP">WebKeeper</A>
  297. <P>
  298. <DD>
  299. The web server at <code>public.perforce.com</code> is an
  300. <a href="http://www.apache.org">Apache Server</a> with the
  301. Perforce Webkeeper module and the Perforce C++ API linked in.
  302. When you point your browser to <code>public.perforce.com</code>,
  303. you're browsing files in a Perforce depot.
  304. For example, the file you're reading now is stored in the Public Depot as
  305. "//public/index.html".
  306. <P>
  307. WebKeeper source files are available in the Perforce Public Depot in the
  308. <a href="perforce/webkeeper/index.html">//public/perforce/webkeeper</a> path.
  309. For more information about the Perforce C++ API, see the Perforce
  310. <A HREF="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadsupp.html">Related Software</a> page.
  311.  
  312. <P>
  313. <DT><A HREF="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.002/manuals/p4web/index.html">P4Web</A>
  314. <P>
  315. <DD>
  316. The alternate web server on this site is a P4Web Viewer,
  317. listening on <code>public.perforce.com:8080</code>.
  318. <P>
  319. P4Web lets you navigate a depot hierarchy, observe activity, and browse file content.
  320. (The links on this page to Public Depot paths are handled by P4Web.)
  321. <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/"><i>Start here</i></a>
  322. to try it out.
  323. <P>
  324. Like WebKeeper, P4Web sends documents to your web browser directly from a
  325. Perforce depot. For example, the page you're reading now is also available
  326. through P4Web at:
  327.  
  328. <PRE>   <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html">http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html</A></PRE>
  329.  
  330. <P>
  331. Unlike WebKeeper, however, P4Web's Back-in-Time Browsing &reg;
  332. lets you "go back in time" to browse documents stored in a Perforce
  333. depot.
  334. For example to see what this page looked like at 1:00 pm back in October 2, 1998,
  335. say, you could point your browser to:
  336.  
  337. <PRE>   <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html@1998/10/02:13:00">http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html@1998/10/02:13:00</A></PRE>
  338.  
  339. <P>
  340. P4Web is currently available from the
  341. <A HREF="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.html">Perforce Downloads</A> page.
  342.  
  343. <P>
  344. <DT><A HREF="perforce/utils/p4db/P4DB_2.01/README.html">P4DB</A>
  345. <P>
  346. <DD>
  347. P4DB is a suite of CGI scripts in Perl contributed by Perforce user Fredric Fredricson.
  348. It lets you navigate a depot hierarchy, observe activity, and browse file content.
  349. The latest P4DB release is available in the Public Depot
  350. <a href="perforce/utils/p4db/P4DB_2.01/README.html">here</a>.
  351. <P>
  352. Browsing the Public Depot using P4DB is currently disabled.
  353.  
  354. <P>
  355. <DT><A HREF="ftp://public.perforce.com/">P4FTP</A> <P> <DD> P4FTP,
  356. a supported Perforce product, allows access to a Perforce depot via
  357. the widely-implemented ftp protocol. As featured
  358. <A HREF="ftp://public.perforce.com"><i>here</i></a>, it is configured to provide
  359. read-only access for browsing and downloading content from the Perforce
  360. Public Depot.
  361.  
  362. <P>
  363. P4FTP can also be used by registered Public Depot users for read-write
  364. access; in this mode, it allows Perforce to be used conveniently from
  365. software with ftp client support, (like Dreamweaver, Netscape, and
  366. Internet Explorer) to browse, download, or upload Perforce depot
  367. files.
  368.  
  369. <P>
  370. More information about P4FTP, including download instructions, can be found
  371. <A HREF="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4ftp.html"><i>here</i></A>.
  372.  
  373. <P>
  374. <DT>And...
  375. <DD>
  376.  
  377. <P>
  378. You can run any of the available
  379. Perforce client programs (P4, P4Win, P4Web, etc.)
  380. on your own machine to access the Public Depot.
  381. Just set your Perforce port (P4PORT) to:
  382. <PRE>	public.perforce.com:1666</pre>
  383. Note that we periodically purge client specs created by
  384. unregistered users. You are free to create new clients
  385. but unless you're a registered user, don't count on having a persistent
  386. client spec in the depot.
  387. See below
  388. for instructions on
  389. becoming a registered user.
  390. <p>
  391. Perforce client programs are available from the

  553. There is a Perforce change review daemon for the Public Depot. You can
  554. configure your Perforce User Specification so that you will be
  555. notified about changes submitted by others to the Public Depot, either
  556. for the entire depot, or any subset of files kept here.
  557.  
  558. <P>
  559.  
  560. The basic procedure is to edit your Perforce User Specification,
  561. adding a "Reviews:" field, with entries to select the paths within
  562. the depot of files you are interested in. When a change affecting such
  563. files is submitted, you will be notified via email.
  564. You must also have the <tt>Email:</tt> field in your User Specification
  565. correctly set to the address where you want notifications to be sent.
  566. (You can edit your User Specification using the <tt> p4 user </tt>
  567. command from the command line client).
  568.  
  569. <P>
  570.  
  571. For example, to "subscribe" so that you will be notified about all
  572. changes affecting anything under <tt> //public </tt>, or any changes that affect
  573. any files in directories named "<tt>cvs2p4</tt>" (anywhere in the depot), you would
  574. set your User Specification to include:
  575.  
  576. <blockquote><pre>
  577. Email:  <i>your email address</i>
  578.  
  579. Reviews:
  580.         //public/...
  581.         //.../cvs2p4/*
  582. </pre></blockquote>
  583.  
  584. <P>
  585.  
  586. The Public Depot review daemon will also allow the person submitting a
  587. change to include additional addressees for a particular change notification, by
  588. including a one or more lines of the form
  589.  
  590. <blockquote><pre>
  591. Description:
  592.  
  593. 	cc: <i>address</i> [ <i>address</i> ... ]
  594. </pre></blockquote>
  595.  
  596. in the Description field of either the Change Specification for a
  597. given change, or of the Client Specification of the client from which
  598. the change is being submitted.
