1751127: Access to sourcesafe2subversion
- Access to sourcesafe2subversion Martin Floeer 12th June, 2009 13:33 (UTC)
This actually not a bug or requirement. As I'm going to migrate my projects from Sourcesafe to subversion, I would like to test the sourcesafe2subversion tool. Is this possible? Can I find somewhere a download page?
Thanks in advance, best regards Martin Floeer

Now that the Fost 4 release is out I'll take a look at this. Should just mean adding a couple of pages with links to the site…

- I am really interested in this peace of software, too. It would be nice, if you could name a date, when it will be available.

Eeek, sorry. I didn't really realise that it was actually so much in demand.
Between you and me (and anybody else reading) you can check it out from http://svn.felspar.com/public/sourcesafe2subversion/trunk/
There's also an installer for download via http://dl.felspar.com/sourcesafe2subversion.1.0.0.1.exe. The version in the repository is more recent that the installer though.

- Thank you very much for posting the download-link. Do you plan to integrate the new subversion feature to share single files in your tool (svn:externals support single-file external since version 1.6)?

There is a new development home page which links to the source code. There is also a download page which contains a link to an installer.

No, we don't really plan to do anything more with the tool because we've already done our migration. We will accept patches though.
In truth though I think you would be better off not using this feature. Not having shared files will force you to make dependencies much clearer and this will lead to much easier release procedures.
The shared files feature in VSS is what a co-worker of mine calls a “convenient nightmare”. It makes things easy in the short-term, but at the cost of many more problems further on.
