Please take a look at the sccs2rcs.csh script (You can browse to this source at http://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/contrib/sccs2rcs.in ) which converts SCCS files to RCS files. After the procedure you move the RCS files into the CVS repository directly. While your tools are not SCCS, this script will show you how to use the RCS ci tool to create entries with the correct timestamp as well as create binary RCS files.
CVS uses the RCS file format, so there is no compatibility problem. -Allan -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Oberman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Loading files into CVS with a declared date I hope this is not a FAQ. I have the job of transitioning a large archive from an in-house system to CVS. I have all of the tools to do the maintenance of the repository, but I need to load all of the historical data into my repository. I have the time-stamps when these files were entered into my archive and the change-log information. Is there any way to force a commit to put a timestamp on a commit? Any hacks to cvs to allow this? I guess what I want to do is: cvs commit -D "1997-10-23 20:45" file, but there is no such command. Any ideas? Thanks, -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
