Maybe sccs is old enough that, having moved on long ago (if they were going to move at all), folks aren't writing / maintaining scripts for that anymore, lost to history. Wouldn't be too hard to interate each commit, message and timestamp into the filesystem and then load that into any other repo, the original timestamps might become comments, or bump the clock. Perhaps try going to one of the historical intermediates in the same lineage first... https://www.google.com/search?q=sccs+to+cssc https://www.google.com/search?q=sccs+to+rcs https://www.google.com/search?q=sccs+to+cvs https://www.google.com/search?q=sccs+to+svn > I am not sure whether you know that all modern version control systems are > based on the ideas of SCCS Those that know unix know that ;) > Check e.g. "NSE", "TeamWare" and "KitKeeper".

AFAIK, only the admin of a SF project list can do that somehow, see example below. And all the old list homes are dead, so you would have the archives to be able to publish them as well. http://sourceforge.net/projects/msmtp/files/msmtp/msmtp-users/ > are you satisfied with the recent changes? cdrtools never let me down yet, and star helped a lot on some projects :) |
