Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

VSS->RevML: couldn't parse source_rev_id: msg#00000

Subject: VSS->RevML: couldn't parse source_rev_id

Hi all,

I'm trying to export a VSS repository into RevML. VCP finishes scanning the VSS files (there's 4065!) and starts writing the RevML. Immediately, it fails miserably with:

------------
vcp: scanning VSS for files '...': - 7047
vcp: found 4065 files
vcp: scanning VSS files: [##########] 4065/4065
vcp: found 12340 revisions
vcp: writing revisions: [\ ] 1/12340
vcp: couldn't parse source_rev_id '0.' from path/to/SomeFile.java#0. @<undef> </path/to/> (text) BASE REV at /loader/0xd2726c/VCP/Source/vss.pm
line 395.
while writing path/to/SomeFile.java#0. @<undef> </path/to/> (text) BASE REV at /loader/0xd2726c/VCP/Dest/revml.pm line 324.
------------

So now, I'm looking into the vss.pm and revml.pm files to see what's happening (unfortunately I'm Perl iliterate but I had to give it a try). I can see that this message is output from vss.pm so the problem is on that side. Specifically, the line reads:

my ( $generation, $vss_rev_id ) = $vcp_rev_id =~ /\A(\d+)\.(\d+)\z/
or die "vcp: couldn't parse source_rev_id '$vcp_rev_id' from ",
$r->as_string;

and just above it, the value of vcp_rev_id was set to:

my $vcp_rev_id = $r->source_rev_id;

So, I guess it has something to do with an invalid r->source_rev_id value being set while the VSS driver scans the revisions? Any pointers on what I should do / where I should look?

Regards,
Alex

PS: using "vcp v0.9, change number 4232 (2004/03/18)"
