properly using rcs-to-cvs.sh

[Tate Austin]

Okay, I am struggling to convert an RCS based project to CVS, its supposed to be easy, except that this rcs-to-cvs.sh does not cooperate with me.  I have the directory with thedirectory tree with its RCS based files in it, we'll call it ../rcsrepo .  When I attempt:

$sh rcs-tocvs ./rcsrepo

I am told to enter some log information.  I leave this part blank.  Then it procedes to go through the root directory of the rcs repository (../rcsrepo) and outputs:

 

RCS/perlfile.pl,v  -->  perlfile.pl
revision 1.1
done

for every file in the directory(every file in the directory has a ,v in the RCS subdirectory(../rcsrepo/RCS).

Then I get an error:

 

1stdirectory
rcs-to-cvs: rcs-to-cvs: not found

 

I assumed this meant the files were being coped into the cvsrepository, (CVSROOT = /local/cvs/repository/CVSROOT)

but instead it simply creates a directory: /local/cvs/repository/rcsrepo and then /local/cvs/repository/rcsrepo/1stdirectory

with no files in either directory.

 

Basically what is happening is that the rcs-to-cvs script seems to bomb out when it comes to a directory and issues a

"rcs-to-cvs: rcs-to-cvs: not found" error.  Which is cryptic to say the least, I see no explanation for this behavior in any forum posts or mailing list entries.  What is going on?
