What this means is that CVS will become read-only and the code base will be moved to the subversion repository. As it stands now all of the CVS history and tags and the like will be transferred.
The change impacts many small parts of our dev environment.
CVS userid and password
The SVN userid and password should be the same - the actual details of that will be known later when I do a test-run of the security changes.
Commits mailing list
The list is the same but what will change is the format and content of the messages - I think you will like the new version :)
Bonsai, lxr
lxr will have older data until we can re-run the lxr process on the new repository
Bonsai should be available immediately unless my new posting script dies in some unknown manner
ViewCVS
ViewCVS will no longer be needed and will be replaced with ViewSVN - most likely the url will stay the same or become a redirect
SVN clients
Each dev will have to obtain a SVN client for their target system
