Vss2Svn report

["Mladen Mihajlovic [H]" <ml...@hixnet.co.za>]

Hi

Thanks so much for the conversion tool, it is brilliant!

A couple of things I have found after using it. Please keep in mind that 
I have never used Perl before and am a Windows user. I downloaded 
ActivePerl and installed that first.

1. I got the error "Could not open user init file k:/users/operable 
program or batch file./ss.ini at  C:\Subversion\Vss2Svn\vss2svn.pl line 
436" which, after much trying and testing, got fixed when I added the 
VSS path to my environment path variable.
2. Date conversion does not seem to be taking local information 
(regional settings) into account as all my commits now have dates 
ranging from 2005 to 2029 ;)

Other than that it worked perfectly, although slowly.

Thanks again
Mladen Mihajlovic

Of course, both the problems you ran into are documented on the web 
site! (Although I did add the time issue later on). I don't really have 
the time or know-how to fix it for all regional settings, but if you 
find all the TIMEFORMAT comments someone who knows Perl should be able to.

If someone can point me to an easy-to-use resource that explains how to 
detect regional Windows settings in Perl, I might be able to work on that.

Anything away from VSS has got to be a good move. Although VSS isn't too bad
if,
* You don't have more than one user; and
* you don't have more than one project; and
* you don't have more than one version; and
* you don't have more than one file; and
* you back up often
