What is cvs-fast-export FOR LINUX?

cvs-fast-export FOR LINUX

cvs-fast-export is a small, fast, completely free and open source command-line program implemented in C and designed from the offset to help users export CVS (Concurrent Versions System) and RCS (Revision Control System) history as a fast-import stream on GNU/Linux operating systems.

How It Works

The software will analyze various RCS files in a CVS repository and output the history as a fast-import stream. It is also capable of analyzing a collection of RCS files outside the CVS repository.

Features:

• Generates a graph of the resulting commit DAG in DOT file format


• Various command-line options for customization


• Can enable keyword expansion


• Author map file generation


• Issues CVS-revision properties


• Force deterministic dates

To install and use the cvs-fast-export program on your GNU/Linux operating system, download the latest version from Softpedia or via the project's homepage, save the archive on your Home directory, unpack it and open a Terminal app.

In the terminal emulator, navigate to the location of the extracted archive files using the 'cd' command (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/cvs-fast-export-1.29), run the 'make' command to compile the program and create the executable, and then run the 'sudo make install' command to install it.

Use the program from the command-line interface by running the 'cvs-fast-export' command. In addition to the cvs-fast-export command, the package also contains cvssync, a utility for mirroring masters from remote CVS hosts.
