Re: [Firebird-devel] Conversion of CVS to Subversion
Hi, I did the conversion of main Firebird modules to SVN. Dne 14.7.2012 17:19, Mark Rotteveel napsal(a): > Now that Jaybird 2.2 is released we want to migrate the CVS client-java > module to Subversion. Is there any documentation on how this was done > for firebird? Nope. As it was one-way, do-once process, there was no point to document it. However, I've used cvs2svn (see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cvs2svn) and it wasn't so hard although it took a lot of time. But it took so long because the data volume was huge, so every test run took several hours. I also did thorough routine tests, as there was no margin for error (it was no replace but merge, as SVN was already used for other code) and I had to find optimal compromise between history detail (there was no point to migrate some ALPHA, BETA or even RC tags) and data volume, make changes in structure (CVS is flat while SVN isn't) etc. So it took about a month to prepare it, but final execution was over weekend. As Jaybird is small code base with not so huge history of changes like core engine, it should be much much easier for you. Also the cvs2svn evolved a lot since then. The cvs2svn creates a dump file that could be imported into svn (at least it was the way it works back then) via SourceForge shell service. Just make shure the import ADDs, not REPLACE the old repository :) It's also good to take full svn backup (not chekout) before merge. best regards Pavel Cisar IBPhoenix -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[Firebird-devel] Name of service manager
Hello, All. Currently service manager has fixed name service_mgr, but AFAICS in code, this name isn't used anywhere. Is it possible to ignore the name then? I have a problem: I got a connection string from user for creation of database. Say, I want to check server (engine) version before creation to set correct SQL dialect and/or default character set. DY suggested to use services to obtain the version, but in this case I have to parse the connection string to extract server name and protocol (and pray that my parser works the same way as one in fbclient). If service manager name was ignored, I could just feed the same connection string to isc_service_attach() and leave whole work to the parser in fbclient. -- WBR, SD. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

But before doing something with this let me mention that there are some more service manager names that are accepted by engine. Version1 services contain a part of utility's command line internally - for example service named 'Backup' already contains '-b' switch for gbak and so on. Telling true this is not a showstopper for your suggestion, because real suggestion is to: Drop V1 services in FB3. A half of them is long ago meaningless, because they try to use non-existing utilities like gdef or not remembered by me tool to control journal. Others (like mentioned Backup) are easily replaced with service_mgr-based services. Next, in FB3 they are not tested at all - I'm far not sure that all authentication tricks needed to support multiple security databases will work for V1 services. But what can be a real showstopper is anonymous service. Attaching it is documented (sorry, do not remember where) way to check is firebird started or not. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
