sccs2rcs seems to be planned to be executed in each folder you want to
convert ( at least thats what I understand) but my repository is a big tree

understanding about sccs2rcs.csh correct?
I'm not sure myself.
and if so , whats the best way to
convert such a tree? ( I dont have any SCCS directory along the branches)
You could do
find src -type d -exec /blah/doconversion {} \;
Where /blah/doconversion might be:
#! /bin/sh
for dir
do
echo converting in $dir
sccs2rcs .... || exit $?
done
... but I have never done this ...
I read in some archived emails from this list some mentions to a perl
version of this script, is this a more powerful version? where can I get it?
Not sure.
This is a more philosophical (or down-to-earth practical, from other point
of view :-) ) question:
as my conversion involves also converting a lot of shell scripts written
above SCCS, providing the intelligence for a "user-friendly" version
interface, to somethgin compatible with CVS, I thought maybe I can divide
the project and as a first stage go to CSSC on Linux and get the system
running there and then in the future convert it to CVS. So, my question is,
is CSSC reliable to have a something running on it on a regular basis? or is
it just a needed step on the conversion but not a soft to be used for a
"production" instance?. I have read the caveats on CSSC page about this,
but wanted to know abotu any implementation that is using CSSC as an engine
for a day to day version control operation.
There are limitations to CSSC. For example, support for excluded
deltas is partly missing. However, I have never heard of it
corrupting someone's source code repository. I know of a team which
has been using CSSC for a substantial period; they started using it in
about 1998 and, as far as I know, are still using it.
I believe it is the case that the Lucent configuration management
system, "Sablime", uses CSSC to support the Linux implementation.
