This is a bunch of notes and patches on converting the CSRG SCCS to a git repo for ease of browsing. VCS::SCCS does not currently try to group commits with the same message in a similiar timeframe into one commit spanning multiple files. It has to be patched to handle %G% and %sccs.include.filename%, both of which are heavily used in the CSRG SCCS. There seem to be a few cases of multiple usernames for one person and 'bill' seems to be either Bill Joy or Bill Jolitz depending on the time of the commit. - Obtain CSRG Archive CD set from http://www.mckusick.com/csrg/ - Install VCS-SCCS from CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/dist/VCS-SCCS/) - apply SCCS-fix.patch to SCCS tree copied off CD 4 - from the top level of the SCCS tree rm -f local/ditroff/ditroff.old.okeeffe/driver/SCCS/s.ifontinfo.c-bad rm -f old/adb/adb.vax/SCCS/s.expr.c.bad rm -f usr.bin/passwd/SCCS/s.passwd.c.bad rm -f sys/vax/uba/SCCS/S.ik.c.corrupted rm -f sys/kern/SCCS/s.subr_rmap.c.sav - copy 'map' and the 'copyright' to the top level SCCS dir - run sccs2git-r-noignore from the top level of the sccs tree sccs2git-r-noignore is one of the examples from VCS::SCCS 0.22 - modified so the timestamps match the sccs logs - modified to not create a .gitignore - modified to use the 'map' file that attempts to map logins to names - timezone changed to US/Pacific instead of local timezone it has the same license as the rest of VCS::SCCS COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2007-2014 H.Merijn Brand This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
