Call for committer volunteer to take on cvs -> svn conversion
As the first stage of a modernization program, I'm proposing that we
get our conversion of svn out of the way.
I will call for a vote that we do so, but first I'd like to get a
volunteer from among the commiters for who will take charge and
responsibility of this process.
Once we have somebody who'll step up to the plate to do this, we'll
call for a vote that we'll actually do so. All expressions so far have
been positive, so I think it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that we
will make the conversion.
Guidelines from apache are here:
http://www.apache.org/dev/cvs2svn.html. Note that there's a recommended
layout for svn repositories (tags, branches, trunk) in the subversion
book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s07.html#svn-ch-4-sect-7.1. Part
of this job is to specify a mapping between our current cvs repository,
and our new layout within svn, as illustrated here:
http://www.apache.org/dev/cvs2svn.html#sample.
Who can volunteer for this job?

Hey,
Are you happy to take this on Jason? Do you require any help from

Hi Darragh,
I did not understand what your mail was for. Are you voting or
volunteering?

Jason,
Thanks for confirming the inevitable ;) I know we all look forward to
details on how you think we should make this happen.
James.

Hah! Had to go and make it public!
Ok. I've just moved a medium sized repository from CVS to SVN this
week and learned a few things. Let me investigate this today, and I'll
write up a proposal tomorrow.
We'll need to specify a CVS freeze date after which time no new
commits are made to CVS. So that means that anyone out there who has
pending work needs to get it all checked in *before* the repository is
moved to SVN.
Then I will convert the CVS repos to SVN and install and test it.
Then people need to check out from SVN and continue working.
Does this seem OK, or have I missed something important?
Cheers,
jas.
