For example, using <tt>vcp</tt>, it is possible to copy the contents of a entire Perforce depot (or part of one) into a depot on a different Perforce server or to copy the contents of a CVS repository into a Perforce server (or vice-versa). <p> <tt>vcp</tt> currently supports bidirectional exchanges between any two of: <ul> <li>RevML <li><tt>CVS</tt> <li>Perforce <li>VSS (beta)</tt> </ul> <p>RevML is an XML language that represents file revisions, such as those managed by Perforce and other version control and configuration management systems. RevML provides a generic way to represent revisions, distinct from any particular version control or SCM tool's format. It forms the basis for other tools that operate on file revisions. </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top> <b>Curator</b> </td> <td valign=top> The current curator for this project is Barrie Slaymaker.

This is available from: <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@md=d&cd=//public/revml/dist/&cdf=//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl@//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl">//public/revml/dist/vcp.pl</a> <p>In order to modify VCP, you'll need a number of prerequisite modules installed and VCP itself. The most up to date (and possibly unreleased) files comprising the current distribution of VCP (which includes the DTD and support files for RevML) are available for direct browsing and downloading from the Perforce Public Depot at <blockquote><b> <A HREF="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/public/revml/"> //public/revml/...</a> </b></blockquote> <p>VCP may be downloaded from the Public Depot using any Perforce client software <p>The easiest way to install VCP for hacking is to run Unix and use perl's CPAN.pm: <blockquote><b><tt>perl -MCPAN -e "install VCP"</tt></b></blockquote> <p>This will track down all dependencies and install them. For working with the source on Windows, you'll need to install the ppms for XML::Parser and several other modules. <a href="mailto:barries@slaysys.com">Contact me</a> for help with this. <!------------------------------------------------------------------> <br><br><br> <!------------------------------------------------------------------> <P> <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0 WIDTH=100%> <TR> <TD WIDTH=15% BGCOLOR=FFCC66 ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=CENTER> <FONT SIZE="-2"> Copyright ©<br> 1998, 1999<br> <a href="http://www.perforce.com">Perforce Software</a><br> </FONT> </TD> <TD WIDTH=70% BGCOLOR=FFCC66 ALIGN=CENTER> <FONT SIZE="-2"> You're browsing a file stored as<br> <code>$Id: //guest/perforce_software/revml/index.html#7 $</code><br> in the <A HREF=http://public.perforce.com/public/index.html>Perforce Public Depot</A>. </FONT> </TD> <TD WIDTH=15% BGCOLOR=FFCC66 ALIGN=RIGHT> <FONT SIZE="-2"><A HREF="#toc"> Back to<BR>Table of<BR>Contents</A></TD></TR> </FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <!------------------------------------------------------------------> </BODY>

#12 | 6074 | michael | Fix a bunch of relative navbar links. | ||
#11 | 6026 | rlo |
Public depot fixes: * Titles formatted similarly * Navbar changed and shortened * Change review taken out of navbar * Links fixed |
||
#10 | 6025 | rlo |
Public Depot Redesign goes live * Skin matches KB and latest WWW skin * Rudimentary search mechanism based on google * did this already, but made some big mistakes and it was easier to obliterate and start over * about the above: yikes! |
||
#9 | 5504 | gerry | Point to VCP executables. | ||
#8 | 4504 | Barrie Slaymaker | - remove CPAN info from index.html | ||
#7 | 1996 | Barrie Slaymaker | Refer to the vcp.pl "fat" distribution | ||
#6 | 1995 | Barrie Slaymaker |
Improve links to source directory Move documentation info above source code browsing info Show how to get command line help and how to generate local HTML documentation |
||
#5 | 1994 | Barrie Slaymaker |
Make VCP the primary subject of the page instead of RevML. Point to the HTML docs in the repository browser. |
||
#4 | 1992 | Barrie Slaymaker | Add VSS notification. | ||
#3 | 1155 | rmg |
The change to utils/index.html was required to get the page to render better with Netscape 6.2. (Without the closing </B> tags, the whole page from the Depot Browsers section on down rendered bold...!) I made the same logical change to the other four for consistency, though they didn't seem to suffer from the same problem. p4dti/index.html still doesn't render right under Netscape 6.2, but it's from a different patterns and I couldn't see a quick clean fix... so I didn't mess with it for now. |
||
#2 | 776 | rmg |
Adjust the revml index (per feedback from barries and others) and point the top level index link at it. |
||
#1 | 775 | rmg | First cut index page for RevML. |
