Yes, I can convert the repository, have a setup which has worked very well for other big repositories. I can start the conversion at any time, it will take about 5-6 hours, I suppose. The CVS repository should be read-only during the conversion so no commits get lost. The committers would probably like a warning before the repository goes read-only to get a chance to get rid of pending commits, so if the CVS repository is made read-only at, let’s say Monday or Tuesday, I can do the conversion and rsync the repository to developer.skolelinux.no where it is copied into place. Would Tuesday be fine? To get svn available over http/WebDAV Apache 2.x is needed, but I suppose an upgrade of the Apache httpd server is not an option at the moment. With the current setup on developer.skolelinux.no the Subversion repository will be accessible to committers over ssh and if a svnserve process is set up, also available to anonymous via the svn:// protocol. It should work well. So, whenever you find it suitable, the CVS repository is set to read-only and the conversion could start. There is a problem with disk space on developer.skolelinux.no though. The new repository will use around 2 gigabytes. The only partition at the moment with enough space to host it is /skolelinux/developer/local0/ftp/skolelinux-cd which has 17 Gb free space at the moment. If it can be stored there, some symlink magic can fix up the path to the repository. Regards, Øyvind A.
