Rich, Listening to a computer scientist will get you into lots of mischief. Plus, he's not disinterested in this matter, as he contributed code to the darcs project. (Hi, Jason!) Subversion will work quite easily without BDB. In fact, I believe non-BDB is now the default. If you still have a copy of your old repo, I'm pretty sure we could get it to the point where you could 1) Dump the old repo 2) Create a new svn repo that uses the "fsfs" backend (no BDB) 3) Import the dump into the new repo Otherwise, it's easy to create a non-BDB subversion repository: svnadmin create $SVNROOT --fs-type fsfs (As I mentioned, I think fsfs is now the default.) You can backup a fsfs $SVNROOT directly. It will migrate across platforms rather easily. -- Paul Heinlein <> [email protected] <> www.madboa.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
