What is SourceSafe for Unix FOR LINUX?

SourceSafe for Unix

SourceSafe for Unix (or SSU for short) is a handy tool that lets you access local and remote Source Safe/VSS repositories using command lines over TCP. Pretty cool, right?

Requirements

So, before you dive in, here’s what you need to know:

• The system has two main parts: a command-line Unix client and a Windows-based server. This server runs on any machine that has access to your repositories. One Windows machine can manage loads of repositories and clients without breaking a sweat!


• The Unix client, called “ss,” only needs Perl version 5.4 or higher and network TCP port 5901 to connect to the server.


• For the Windows server known as “ssserv,” you’ll need Perl version 5.6 or higher. But just a heads-up – it's been tested best with ActivePerl_ 5.8 because version 5.6 had some stability hiccups.


• This server runs as its own process unless you set it up with some service helpers (but we won't go into that here).


• And don’t forget! You need to have the SourceSafe command-line client installed on your local machine, which usually comes with the SourceSafe software itself.

What’s New in This Release?

This update brings some exciting changes:

• The performance for the “update” and “diff” commands got a nice boost thanks to a local ssserv hash cache.


• Plus, there are new commands: “help” and “monitor.” These should make your work even smoother!
