With versions 1.15 and 1.44 of respectively ClearCase::Wrapper and
ClearCase::Argv ( http://cpan.org CPAN perl scripts, originally by David
Boyce),
I achieved what looks like a port of IBM/Rational ClearCase on Cygwin.
This requires a Windows installation of ClearCase.
It offers a cleartool.plx script which will spawn a backgound cleartool
process, and pass it arbitrary commands, preforming pre- and post-processing
(mostly paths and eol) suitable for piping, and use from the command line
and from scripts.
Limitations for now concern:
- interactive comments (you need to use '-c "my comments"', or '-nc')
- running the cleartool emulation itself, in interactive mode
Beside ClearCase on Windows, you need to install into your cygwin perl a
cloning package, such as Clone, and:
- ClearCase::Argv
- ClearCase::Wrapper
ClearCase::Wrapper comes with some in-built enhancements to cleartool, but
the intention is to implement real changes in separate packages, such as
ClearCase::Wrapper::DSB and ClearCase::Wrapper::MGi (which you are of course
encouraged to install as well).
Beyond the http://cpan.org CPAN site, I wish to advertise a
http://code.google.com/p/clearcase-cpan/ Google site , where I maintain the
on-going development.
I welcome bug reports (esp. as issues there) and contributions.
The publication to CPAN remains David's responsibility (apart for the ::MGi
module).
Enjoy,
Marc
