Documentation

[buelowp]

Is there a website or WiKi somewhere with a howto or some sort of getting started guide. I'm familiar with Python, but honestly, both Python and CMSynergy are new to me for the most part, so I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. I'd like to have bidirectional communication (updates going both ways) which I think this will do, but am not sure exactly how. Thanks.

There is no documentation nor wiki available at the moment. I might write a howto soon, but my focus have mostly been on getting to a usable state (which I actually think is reached now).

The converter is not bidirectional, it is only a converter from Synergy -> git.

That's good to know, and still useful to me actually. Any howto would be
great though. Thanks for all the efforts.

I'll put it higher on the todo list.

Hi,

I did a very short readme some time ago. Is it usable for you? Or
should I do more explanations ;)

The problem with a UDP joke is that you have no idea if people got it.

Yes, I saw that. It's a start. We'll be getting back to this sometime
next month. Our project goals shifted a bit, so we're only going one
direction now, from git to synergy. We won't be grabbing synergy content
until the remote teams start to put that content in synergy, which they
haven't done yet.

I appreciate remembering this, and for helpning me out. Thank you.

Is anyone willing to post their configuration file? I think that could go a long way, I'm having to following each item through the code to figure out what it is for.

[dvaske]

My config file anonymized

[synergy]
database=/path/to/database
base_project=name-version:project:database#1

;Branch project identifiers coma separated
heads = name-version:project:database#1

; Master/Mainline project identifier
master=name-version:project:database#1

max_sessions=15
ccm_cache_path=/path/to/drive/with/lots/of/space
data_file=project-name_hist
log_file=synergy_history.log
max_recursion_depth=10
skip_binary_files=false

[history conversion]
print_graphs=False
email_domain=somewhere.com

[ldap]
username=username

Thanks dvaske, i'll give it another try soon.

Hi,
I am just trying to convert some of our Synergy Projects to Git. However, you posted that configuration file I can`t figure out what to write at "base_project", "heads" and "master". In Synergy there are no such notations for the branches. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

[dvaske]

The Base project is the Synergy project 4-part-name of the project you want to start the conversion from (initial commit).
The heads is a comma separated list of Synergy projects (branches) you want as branches in the new git repo (if any)
The master is just the Synergy project you want as the default branch in Git.

[MeMeMax]

Thanks for the quick response! Now I know what I have to put in there.

[dvaske]

Well your project/baseline should be of the form:
base_project=PROJECTNAME-VERSION:project:DATABASE#1
The same goes for heads and master, but usually with different versions ;)

Conversion is running since yesterday. Do you know whats the issue with big projects? It seems, as if the script doesn`t do anything for quite some time now (exactly 12 hours) because nothing is written in the logfile nor in any other file (but the script is still executed).

[dvaske]

It has been a while since I last did any conversion, But first the script
extracts all the Synergy data, that usually takes some time as Synergy
isn't really that speedy, but I think it should print out some logging
information. When all the data is collected, you can run the actual
conversion which will build a graph of the different objects and extract
their dependency from here.

Does anyone know whether the order of the heads, which I have to write into the configuration file, is relevant for a proper dumping in the first script?

[dvaske]

It shouldn't be. As I recall it, it just takes them one by one in the order you specify.
