Package: arch2darcs
Version: 1.0.13
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've run arch2darcs to convert a arch
repo to darcs.  It seems to fail when I've
moved multiple files in the same tla commit.
Note that this is a guess.  All I know is that
when it fails there are files that need to be moved.

The workaround is, for each file, to:
 mv the moved file back where it came from
 darcs add the file with the old path
 darcs mv the file to the new path
 darcs record -a -pipe to record the patch

Then do a darcs whatsnew -l and darcs add any
file that didn't get added when arch2darcs crashed.

To get the darcs record right I look at the output
of tla changelog and darcs changes --xml-output
so the formatting is consistent.

FWIW, I'm converting into a darcs --hashed repo.

(By the time a fixed version gets into Debian
stable there probably won't be any more arch
repos out there.  ;-(
)

Version: 1.0.15+rm

arch2darcs was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in
February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable later in 2011 (see
http://bugs.debian.org/542688 for details on the removal). Since
support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the
remaining bugs reported against this package.
