Description

This was same as

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=7162&aid=13611&group_id=1850

I know RubyForge's areas are obsolated. So I re-post this patch here.

I got some reports and found this patch need running with Administrator (or Poweruser?) authority.

Requirements:
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 8.0 (maybe or later), I check only Japanese version 8.0.50727.42 .
#Maybe support Japanese and English ONLY. If need others, check codes.
Running VSS and Redmine on same machine.
Redmine process need running under Administrators authority.(Because of OLE security?)

Hi Miura,

It looks like you achieve a great job. Some remarks:

  • could you create a new migration, instead of editing m055: it'd break the migration system for users
  • is it possible for you to provide a test-case to include with this patch? I don't know if it's possible to provide a stand-alone repository of MS VSS, but it could be a real good thing to prevent regression
  • have you possibility to check that a redmine instance with your patch, running on linux, still work (without using the VSS capability, of course...) It should work without problem, but we can't know...

Thank you.

Hi Thomas.

First, Thanks for your advices.
Second, might be hard to read because of my poor English...

  • Maybe no migration needed. It's my experimental codes.
    In RubyForge, I didn't put m055's codes.
    And got some reports it works.
    So maybe OK.
    I delete it and re-upload patch.
  • Need to read licence of VSS...
    VSS can create stand-alone repository.
    But I don't know providing repository is allowed.
  • I don't have linux or other non-windows environments.
    So it's hard to check it. Need setup first...
    Running under not Windows environments like linux, it does't work because of No OLE.
    I don't know WINE or other Windows Emu support them or not.
    Of course, not select VSS for SCM, maybe it should be work just you said.

I know checking this patch is too hard, and not suit for major users.
So I think it's difficult to incorporate this patch to redmine trunk.

But "this patch is here" is important, I think so.

Of course, I'll try to check under linux and try to create test-case.
But need much more time.

Thanks.

Outch... The migration was just ugly: it's effect was to "convert" all existing repositories in Redmine in VSS repositories... It would be a terrific bug ;)

You're right: there's very few chance to commit this patch to trunk without far more tests, but it's a good beginning.

I'd add a link to this patch in the redmine guide, hoping it could help someones.

Any feedback from users is welcome, of course.
