Re: [Savannah-help-public] Converting gnuspeech to svn

[Dalmazio Brisinda]

Hello Sylvain,

I've finished converting the gnuspeech CVS repository to SVN dumpfiles via the cvs2svn software. I would just like to confirm if it's okay to use multiple dumpfiles  for loading the SVN repository?

Here's some background.

First, I've restructured the repository slightly so that we have 5 dumpfiles. I've edited the dumpfiles slightly (and carefully) so that it should be as painless as possible for savannah using the standard 'svnadmin load' command without any special switches (the parent directories: osx, gnustep, nextstep, docs, and misc are created and added within the dumpfiles).

I've set up the dumpfiles so that the top-level structure will look like this:

/

osx/

trunk/

branches/

tags/

gnustep/

trunk/

branches/

tags/

nextstep/

trunk/

branches/

tags/

docs/

trunk/

branches/

tags/

misc/

trunk/

branches/

tags/

I'm assuming savannah will be loading the dumpfiles into the new repository something along the following lines (depending on where the actual path to the new SVN gnuspeech repository is located):

$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-osx-dumpfile

$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-gnustep-dumpfile

$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-nextstep-dumpfile

$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-docs-dumpfile

$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-misc-dumpfile

Let me know If this is correct and all is well.  If so, I can upload the 5 dumpfiles to https://savannah.gnu.org/register/upload.php and we can begin the change-over.

Best,

dalmazio

Is there a protocol for savannah hackers to convert a project CVS  

repository to SVN within the savannah site, or do I check out the whole 

project and create the SVN dump file myself and submit it for/request 

savannah hackers to install it (presumably in the project development 

tools section of the project page).  Can the CVS repository then be 

removed?

There seems to be some ambiguity in the material I have been reading but 

that is likely my fault :-$

You need to convert it yourself and send us a dump, indeed :)
