Its official README says it analyzes RCS master files, emits a fast-import history when possible, warns on histories it cannot represent, and can also visualize the resulting commit DAG. ### Historique du projet The official hacker's guide says the program began as Keith Packard's one-off `parsecvs` hack in early 2006 during the X repository migration from CVS to Git. Bart Massey briefly maintained it before Eric S. Raymond took over in late 2012, added the fast-export output stage, renamed the project, and later made the parser re-entrant and parallelized master-file ingestion. ### Historique d'adoption The tool belongs to the post-CVS migration era, where package maintainers and project archivists needed trustworthy conversion of old CVS and RCS histories into Git. The official resource page explicitly notes that it is commonly packaged as cvs-fast-export and that related package names include cvs-fast-export-tools and cvs-fast-export-doc. ### Modes d'utilisation Users point cvs-fast-export at CVS or RCS master files and pipe or save the generated stream for Git import. The distribution also ships `cvssync` for fetching remote CVS masters, `cvsconvert` for trial conversion and content-mismatch checks against the original CVS, and `cvsstrip` for reducing bug reports to metadata-only trees. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent For package-history work, cvs-fast-export is unusually meta: it exists to rescue the history behind older packages. Its NEWS file documents years of edge-case fixes around CVS timestamps, vendor branches, ignore files, branch topology, fast-export compatibility, and in 2026 a port from C to Go intended to eliminate chronic memory-corruption failure modes. ### Chronologie - 2006: Originated as Keith Packard's `parsecvs` during the X CVS-to-Git migration. - 2012: Eric S. Raymond took over maintenance and added fast-export output. - 2015: GitLab project created and release 1.32 noted a source type declaration for reposurgeon. - 2020: buildprep script added to simplify source builds. - 2026: Version 2.0 ported the code to Go. - 2026: Version 2.2 released on June 21. ### Related projects - The README and hacker's guide connect cvs-fast-export to Git fast-import, CVS, RCS, Graphviz DOT output, reposurgeon, cvssync, cvsconvert, and cvsstrip. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Risque Geiger:** blue / moyen - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Détails de la base source - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cvs-fast-export - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Debian apt - cvs-fast-export - 1.59-1+b1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: cvs-fast-export from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Export an RCS or CVS history as a fast-import stream | http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/ - Nix - cvs-fast-export: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cv/cvs-fast-export/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - cvs-fast-export - 1.59-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: cvs-fast-export from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Export an RCS or CVS history as a fast-import stream | http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/ - apk - cvs-fast-export - 1.68-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cvs-fast-export from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Export RCS or CVS history as a fast-import stream | http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/ - apk - cvs-fast-export-doc - 1.68-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cvs-fast-export-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Export RCS or CVS history as a fast-import stream (documentation) | http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/ - apk - cvs-fast-export-tools - 1.68-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: cvs-fast-export-tools from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Export RCS or CVS history as a fast-import stream (extra tools) | http://www.catb.org/esr/cvs-fast-export/ - MacPorts - cvs-fast-export: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/cvs-fast-export/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Liens liés - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/fr/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/fr/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/fr/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/fr/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [asciidoctor](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/asciidoctor/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cvs](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/cvs/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cvs, developer-tools, version-control. - [cvsync](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/cvsync/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cvs, developer-tools, version-control. - [git-svn-abandon](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/git-svn-abandon/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, migration, version-control. - [libgit2](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/libgit2/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, version-control. - [lazygit](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/lazygit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, version-control. - [mercurial](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/mercurial/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, version-control. - [repo](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/repo/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, version-control. - [lazyjj](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/lazyjj/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, version-control. - [reposurgeon](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/reposurgeon/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
