[Dev] CVS conversion to SVN - overview and reminder

[Mike Taylor]

Just a reminder and a chance to outline what I'll be doing first thing 
tomorrow morning.

I will be starting the CVS conversion to SVN (subversion) early 
tomorrow morning -- 0800 EDT on the morning of Wednesday the 25th of 
May.

The conversion will take approximately 2 hours with testing afterwords 
and will follow this general outline:

1. Existing CVS Repository switched to read-only (both by changing 
priv's and also by renaming the password file)
2. A backup of the existing CVS data will be made
3. cvs2svn script will be run using the following command lines:

	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=Attic.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/Attic
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=chandler.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/chandler
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=external.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/external
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=hardhat.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/hardhat
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=internal.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/internal
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=docs.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/docs
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=cosmo.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/cosmo
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=server.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/server
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=commons.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/commons
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=chandler-python.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/chandler-python
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=demo2.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/demo2
	./cvs2svn --dump-only --use-cvs --force-branch=rel-0_1-maint 
--dumpfile=old.dump /usr/local/cvsrep/old

	for the curious:
		--dump-only generates the dumpfile without doing any svn repository 
creation,
		--use-cvs tells it to use the cvs command instead of rcs
		--force tells it to force the rel-0_1-maint tag to be a branch when 
found
		--dumpfile is, of course, the file to create
		and finally the path to the cvs tree to convert

4. new SVN repositories will be created:

	svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs repository_name

	Chandler: chandler, internal, external and hardhat
	Docs: docs
	Server: server, cosmo and commons
	Archive: Attic, chandler-python, demo2 and old

    Each of the CVS modules will be loaded into the appropriate 
repository using this command:

	svnadmin load /path/to/repository < dump_file

    Each dump file is loaded into the repository in the order that the 
were created under CVS so all history is preserved.

5. A pass will be made thru each of the new repositories to add 
appropriate svn propset calls for $Id keyword replacement
6. Hook scripts will be added for email notification and file checks.

Each of the repositories will have a new structure - one that follows 
the Subversion recommended layout:

	Chandler/
		trunk/
			chandler/
			internal/
			external/
			hardhat/
		branches/
			CHANDLER_0_4_BRANCH/
			CHANDLER_0_5_BRANCH/
			...
		tags/

If you had an existing svn+ssh account, you will be able to continue to 
use it.  If not, then I will be setting up new password entries for 
each developer.  You will need to coordinate with me what you want your 
password to be as I will not be able to transfer the existing CVS entry 
to the SVN password file.  Anonymous access will still be possible thru 
the existing http:// url

Once the final paths are known, I will post them to this list.
