NAME

VCP::Utils::vss - utilities for dealing with the vss command

SYNOPSIS

use VCP::Utils::vss ;

DESCRIPTION

A mix-in class providing methods shared by VCP::Source::vss and VCP::Dest::vss, mostly wrappers for calling the vss command.

METHODS

ss

Calls the vss command with the appropriate vssroot option.

TODO: See if we can use two different users to do vss->vss. Not sure if VSS sets the cp and workfold per machine or per user.

create_vss_workspace

Creates a temporary directory.

get_vss_file_list

Retrieves a list of all files and directories under a particular path. We need this so we can tell what dirs and files need to be added.

vss_files

@files = $self->vss_files;

returns a list of all files (not projects) that get_vss_file_list() loaded.

vss_file

$self->vss_file( $path );
$self->vss_file( $path, undef );      ## To mark as non-existant
$self->vss_file( $path, 1 );          ## To mark as existant
$self->vss_file( $path, "project" );  ## To mark as being a project

Accepts an absolute path with or without the leading $/ or / and returns TRUE if it exists in CVS.

vss_file_is_deleted

Returns 1 if the file is a deleted file.

NOTE: in VSS a file may be deleted and not deleted at the same time! Thanks to Dave Foglesong for pointing this out.

vss_file_is_active

Returns 1 if the file is an active (undeleted) file.

NOTE: in VSS a file may be deleted and active at the same time! Thanks to Dave Foglesong for pointing this out.
