How do I suppress keyword expansion in Starteam at the client level to enable local mirroring to DVCS?

Another option on the mercurial side would be to use a precommit hook to automatically un-expand the keywords in your starteam checkout files Something like this in your ~/. Hgrc might do the trick: hooks precommit. Unexpand_starteam = find .

-name '*. Cpp' -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pie 's/$ *? \n\n//m' ; exit 0 That would remove everything from $story through the first blank line in every file right before committing.

I've not used starteam, but there must be some way to identity the end of a history block (blank line was a guess), and with the perl line altered to reflect that you should be good to go.

If the keywords look like CVS/RCS keywords ($Id$ and so on), then the keyword extension bundled with Mercurial might be able to help with unexpanding those. But unfortunately it only supports simple keywords, and it sounds like $story will expand incrementally like the $Log$ CVS keyword. But maybe you can use the keyword extension as a starting point?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
