My old CVS server was brought down to its knees during an OS upgrade
and I found myself having to install CVS from scratch on a different
machine. So, I now have cvs-1.11 installed on the new server, and I'm
stuck.
From the OLD server, I tarred up the /CVS repository (which contains
CVSROOT, and source directories for the projects), and I also checked
out every project and tarred them up.
If I import those sources right now, as far as the CVS server is
concerned, it considers them new. I won't have any of the (older)
revisions, right? So, what's the best way to rebuild the CVS
repositories, maintaining everything that was on the old server?
Someone I don't think it'll be as simple as just copying the old /CVS
(tar) back into the new /CVS directory. Or is it?
The _only_ thing(s) I've done so far on the new machine are:
- compile [ as root ]
- run the tests (make check) [ as a normal user ]
- make install [ as root ]
I haven't initialized anything yet, so I still have a 'virgin'
install.
