  1. This "contrib" directory is a place holder for code/scripts sent to me
  2. by contributors around the world. This README file will be kept
  3. up-to-date from release to release. BUT, we must point out that these
  4. contributions are really, REALLY UNSUPPORTED. In fact, we probably
  5. don't even know what some of them really do. We certainly do not
  6. guarantee to have tried them, or ported them to work with this CVS
  7. distribution. If you have questions, your best bet is to contact the
  8. original author, but you should not necessarily expect a reply, since
  9. the author may not be available at the address given.
  10. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- and all that stuff.
  11. "Unsupported" also means that no one has volunteered to accept and check
  12. in changes to this directory. So submissions for new scripts to add
  13. here are unlikely to be accepted. Suggested changes to the existing
  14. scripts here conceivably might, but that isn't clear either, unless of
  15. course they come from the original author of the script.
  16. If you have some software that works with CVS that you wish to offer it
  17. is suggested that you make it available by FTP or HTTP and then announce
  18. it on the info-cvs mailing list.
  19. There is a web page of software related to CVS at the following URL which
  20. would presumably be willing to list your software.
  21. http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html
  22. An attempt at a table of Contents for this directory:
  23. README This file.
  24. check_cvs A perl script to check an entire repository for
  25. corruption.
  26. Contributed by Donald Sharp <sharpd@cisco.com>.
  27. clmerge A perl script to handle merge conflicts in GNU
  28. style ChangeLog files .
  29. Contributed by Tom Tromey <tromey@busco.lanl.gov>.
  30. cln_hist A perl script to compress your
  31. $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history file, as it can grow quite
  32. large after extended use.
  33. Contributed by David G. Grubbs <dgg@ksr.com>
  34. commit_prep A perl script, to be combined with log_accum.pl, to
  35. log_accum provide for a way to combine the individual log
  36. messages of a multi-directory "commit" into a
  37. single log message, and mail the result somewhere.
  38. Can also do other checks for $Id and that you are
  39. committing the correct revision of the file.
  40. Read the comments carefully.
  41. Contributed by David Hampton <hampton@cisco.com>.
  42. cvs2vendor A shell script to move changes from a repository
  43. that was started without a vendor branch to one
  44. that has a vendor branch.
  45. Contributed by Greg A. Woods <woods@planix.com>.
  46. cvs_acls A perl script that implements Access Control Lists
  47. by using the "commitinfo" hook provided with the
  48. "cvs commit" command.
  49. Contributed by David G. Grubbs <dgg@ksr.com>.

  51. cvscheck.man checked out CVS tree; also notices unknown files.
  52. Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net>
  53. cvshelp.man An introductory manual page written by Lowell Skoog
  54. <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net>. It is most likely
  55. out-of-date relative to CVS 1.3, but still may be
  56. useful.
  57. debug_check_log A shell script to help analyze sanity check failures.
  58. Contributed by Derek R. Price <derek@ximbiot.com>.
  59. descend A shell script that can be used to recursively
  60. descend.man descend through a directory. In CVS 1.2, this was
  61. very useful, since many of the commands were not
  62. recursive. In CVS 1.3 (and later), however, most of
  63. the commands are recursive. However, this may still
  64. come in handy.
  65. Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke!lowell@uunet.uu.net>

  80. pipe the log message to a file and/or send mail
  81. to some alias.
  82. Contributed by John Clyne <clyne@niwot.scd.ucar.edu>.
  83. pvcs2rcs A perl script to convert a PVCS tree to an RCS tree.
  84. rcs-to-cvs Script to import sources that may have been under
  85. RCS control already.

  87. rcs2log A shell script to create a ChangeLog-format file
  88. given only a set of RCS files.
  89. Contributed by Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>.
  90. rcs2sccs A shell script to convert simple RCS files into
  91. SCCS files, originally gleaned off the network
  92. somewhere (originally by "kenc") and modified by
  93. Jerry Jelinek <jerry@rmtc.Central.Sun.COM> and
  94. Brian Berliner <berliner@sun.com> to increase
  95. robustness and add support for one-level of branches.
  96. rcslock A perl script that can be added to your commitinfo
  97. file that tries to determine if your RCS file is
  98. currently locked by someone else, as might be the
  99. case for a binary file.
  100. Contributed by John Rouillard <rouilj@cs.umb.edu>.
  101. sccs2rcs A C-shell script that can convert (some) SCCS files
  102. into RCS files, retaining the info contained in the
