This project is maintained by Perforce staff, with individual
curators as shown below.
Eventually we'll split these utilities up into separate projects,
depending on their activity and growth. If you have a particular
interest in any or all of this project, and would like
to volunteer as a curator, please email us.
<p>
If you would like to contribute to one of the categories that
does not have a curator yet,
you may request to have your submitted
changes integrated into this project by emailing Perforce staff at

This <b>CVS to Perforce</b> converter extracts metadata from a CVS repository
and generates a Perforce depot using Perforce client commands. The
converter handles Attic/ and .cvsignore, and has flexible support for
branching.

Perforce Release 99.1 introduced server support for pre-submit
triggers.
Here are some example scripts
that can be used as triggers in a Perforce 99.1 (or later) server.
These scripts were written and contributed by
<a href="/guest/jeff_bowles/jab.html">
Jeff Bowles</a>
and <A HREF="/guest/wes_peters/pcp.html">Wes Peters</A>.

Similar to above, but contributed by <A HREF="/guest/wes_peters/pcp.html">Wes Peters</A>

A script to notice when you're creating new files (or integrating to a new
branch) and the directory name you're writing the [new] file to isn't the
same case as an existing directory name.
<p><i>(For example, if "//depot/<u>x</u>/<u>y</u>/z.c"
exists, this won't allow you to create a file named "//depot/<u>X</u>/<u>Y</u>/one.c".)</i>

Classroom example of writing a trigger using the Windows/NT command shell,
a.k.a. "a <i>.cmd</i> script". (It checks that "Bug:" is included in the change
description.) Doesn't do a lot, but gets the idea across.

<p>
<sup>*</sup>How to interpret the "Status" field:
<ul><li>a smiley face means "it's probably
simple enough to use without any worries that it'll corrupt or slow down anything" ;
<li>a scared face means "you probably want to read the comments
at the top of the script - this might need localization/tailoring or might have
performance implications you want to investigate before deploying on your production
Perforce server" ;
<li>and "under construction" means just that - you can look, you can
make copies, but it's getting reworked at the moment.
</ul>
