Actually, it is I who should go to bed.

But if you have a mac and want some good time perl code focused on CVS, try this:

Start a terminal app,

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
cvs -z9 -q co mozilla/webtools/bonsai mozilla/webtools/registry

Bonzai is no DMG file. It is poorly packaged.

From the README of the project:
"This is Bonsai. See < http://www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html >.

DISCLAIMER
==========

This is not very well packaged code. It's not packaged at all. Don't
come here expecting something you plop in a directory, twiddle a few
things, and you're off and using it. Much work has to be done to get
there. We'd like to get there, but it wasn't clear when that would be,
and so we decided to let people see it first.

Don't believe for a minute that you can use this stuff without first
understanding most of the code."

p4 files //... | sed 's/\(.*\)#.*/dirname \1/' > p4realbranches.txt

The above is a concept for finding all branches or folders in P4.

Want to make a table of change # and what branches were changed. Then making a tree like structure to visualize code changes.

While Perforce out of the box has a lot of useful tools, some scripting can provide even more.

CD to the clients working folder.
On Unix you can do this:
cd `p4 info | awk "/Client root/" | sed -n "s/Client root: //p"`

I should really learn awk and sed better. But the above will cd into your client root!

Perforce allows you to change how files are stored in the depot. When you get Perforce installed, it attempts to guess what kind of file is added on the fly. While it is OK at finding non-text files, it would be good to set it up so we are sure what file is stored how in perforce.

One could do the p4 typemap and see what is set up so far.

I found it easier to use the p4 typemap -i to load the file types from a file.

So I do this:
cat input.typemap.txt | p4 typemap -i

Interesting CVS tool called CVL for Mac: http://www.sente.ch/software/cvl/#License

Graphing tools:
http://wingraphviz.sourceforge.net/wingraphviz/ is based on http://www.graphviz.org/

Cost of Ownership:
How much does cost to use Perforce? That depends on how much time you current use with version control.
If used it 100%, which is impossible it would cost 36 cents/hour the first year and only 8 cents/hour after that.

Where to get it:

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.html is the link to download the server and clients. You don't pay anything to start using Perforce. When you start using it with more then 2 people, you will have to get an evaluation license from Perforce.

CVS is a free and widely used Source Code Management (SCM) application.

Handy tips
To use "CVS -F ...

You need to have unix line endings on the file!

Handy scripts

If you want to list all tags for a file you can do something like this on a standard unix shell:
cvs -z9 -q rlog -h $fileName | sed -n -e '/^\W.*[A-Z|a-z]/p' | sed -e 's/:.*$//' | sed -e 's/\W*//'

If you want to see what items that are not "Up-to-Date" you can do something like this:
cvs status | grep "Status:" | grep -v "Up-to-date"
It will pull all the "Status:" lines of the output and then show only the ones that are not "Up-to-date".

For windows you will have to replace the grep with findstr such as this:
cvs status | findstr "Status:" | findstr /v "Up-to-date"

Process elements are scripts, forms, measurements and standards used in the process definition.

There are 10 processes defined in this section. Except for the first definition, each term defines a process in some way. Step one is called "Prerequisite knowledge and skills". This process is the process of writing. A person has to know how to do something before they say they have a process.
