I ran across my first y2k bug: sccs2rcs reads the 2-digit year of sccs and adds 19 in front, with the obvious problem for anything committed this year. I knew I should have switched over last year! Here's a patch; I'm patching from cvs-1.10, the most recent version listed on labrea.stanford.edu The contrib/ChangeLog should read: 2000-04-11 Benoit Hudson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * sccs2rcs.csh: Fixed for y2k: sccs dates of 00-70 are interpreted as relative to 2000; 70-99 are relative to 1900. $ diff -e cvs-1.10/contrib/sccs2rcs.csh sccs2rcs.csh 180c set date = `sccs prs -r$rev $file | grep "^D " | awk '{print $3}'` set time = `sccs prs -r$rev $file | grep "^D " | awk '{print $4}'` set year = `echo $date | cut -d'/' -f1` set mon = `echo $date | cut -d'/' -f2` set day = `echo $date | cut -d'/' -f3` # y2k hack: We're on Unix, so the earliest possible date is 1970. # of course, this just turns it into a y2070 bug. if ($year < 70) then set year = `expr $year + 2000` else set year = `expr $year + 1900` endif set mon = `expr $mon + 0` # kill leading zero set day = `expr $day + 0` # kill leading zero set date = `printf "%d/%02d/%02d %s" "$year" "$mon" "$day" "$time"` .
