Hey Guys I am new to this mailing list and need a little help
Currently we have a VSS database that we are using to store graphical content. Currently we are using the following features of VSS - Sharing - Versioning - Labeling While I admire what SVN is, we feel that SVN is not the right choice. We are selecting Alienbrain (from Avid) as our SCM for graphical assets. Now this is where the questions start. Alienbrain comes with a vss to AB migration script but it is not very robust. I would prefer to use vss2svn as the tool to help us with the migration of the data. My approaches are as follows 1. Hack the current vss2svn script to push content into AB 2. Create a script to take the intermediate data that the vss2svn scripts creates and use that to create AB actions to push data into it. 3. Push the vss data into svn and then write a script to take it out and push it into AB Option 2 is the approach I am most comfortable with, but I will need a break of what the intermediate data is (the data found in the "_vss2svn" folder). I am also open to other suggestions. One critical point is that our VSS database does have some issues. But vss2svn seemed to parse it ok (unlike the Alienbrain conversion script) Cheers James IMPORTANT CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This E-mail (including any documents referred to in, or attached, to this E-mail) may contain information that is personal, confidential or the subject of copyright, privilege or other proprietary rights in favor of Aristocrat, its affiliates or third parties.
