Ok, since:
1. no one has voiced any objections 2. I have at least one "agree" 3. it's going to take a while
I'm hereby declaring the OSCAR SVN repository "down" until further notice. It'll probably take a day or so to re-import and have it back up.
Thanks!

I'd say go ahead with it - no objections here.

Short version: I would like to take the OSCAR SVN repository offline and re-import from CVS. This will take about a day. Opinions?
Longer version:
In doing some testing, I have figured out that the bad binary files in SVN are due to people forgetting to use "-kb" when originally importing them into CVS. It seems that the "old" SVN import script doesn't look at the CVS "-kb" flag -- I think it probably looks at the file type to determine if the file should be imported as binary or not. But the "new" SVN import script (the one that I used) looks at the CVS "-kb" flag and uses that to determine if the file should be binary or not.
Hence, for all OSCAR CVS binary files that were not imported with -kb, SVN imported them as ASCII files, and they basically got corrupted (the oda RPM is a good example).
From my commits last night, I've re-committed everything on the trunk and it should all be working fine now. HOWEVER: our entire history is trashed. So we really can't go back to any prior version using SVN. That kinda defeats the point of importing the history.
I would like to take the OSCAR SVN repository off-line and re-import from CVS (I still have the entire OSCAR CVSROOT -- I didn't delete it just for situations like this ;-) ) and use the "old" SVN import script. Although it's technically less correct behavior, it will compensate for people previously not having used -kb. There have only been a few commits on the new SVN repository which should be relatively easy to recreate.
I would like to start this re-import later today. Based on experiences from last time, it will take about a day to complete.
Opinions?
