I've been away from mythtv coding for several months. I see it has
switched to subversion. I've always had my own custom patches, some
of which I contributed, some of which were not ready or suitable
for contribution.
I'm surprised I see little docs on how to convert a checked out
package from cvs to svn. Is it so obvious that it's just not
documented?
If the cvs were still available I could do a cvs diff with the version
around the time of my last update (June) and then check out a new
working dir from svn and apply them, but the cvs server does not
respond. Is there a simpler way to do this?
Try this:
- Check out a copy of SVN corresponding to your current CVS checkout.
AFAIK the entire CVS change history was imported into the Subversion
repository, so you should be able to check out a revision which
corresponds almost exactly to your current CVS base. Use the 'Timeline'
feature in Trac to find the correct revision. For reference, the
Subversion cutover happened in late June.
- Once you have your new SVN tree, *copy* the source files from your CVS
checkout over the SVN soure tree. NOTE: you may need to account for
some directory renaming, but I think if you pinpoint the revision
accurately this will be kept to a minimum. Now you should be able to do
'svn diff' and see what changes you have; once you have everything
resolved you can update the SVN tree to the latest trunk revision if you
want.
