I think that Robert is the best person to answer this.

It seems that the community in general would need to answer: 1) Should we goto SVN (likely to be a big problem if we say no)? Yes. Up to the projects to decide when they move. E.g. I hope to use the CVS-SVN move for Turbine as a cleaning move for the project to reduce the huge number of turbine CVS repositories. 2) Should inactive projects (ECS, Watchdog, ...) goto SVN? If they find someone that maintains them: yes. 3) Any reason why ECS should not be the first to go? No. +1 Go ahead. :-) Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Noel J. Bergman w rites: Done. Thanks Noel! I know these things are normally supposed to go through infrastructure, but I thought I could test it out in the test repository without troubling anyone first. Everything looks good and doing the conversion even helped me detect that at some point I'd checked in html files for the Web site that had literal character values instead of character entities like #169; in them. I can regenerate those and check them in the next time there's a release. At any rate, if Henri wants a guinea pig, he can send infrastructure a formal request to convert jakarta-oro over to SVN. The default cvs2svn values are fine. e.g., cvs2svn -v --dump-only --dumpfile=oro.svn.dump /home/cvs/jakarta-oro/ svn mkdir https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/oro/ svnadmin load --parent-dir jakarta/oro /x1/svn/asf oro.svn.dump Why oro instead of ECS? Only because I jumped the gun with Noel's help and tested the svn conversion. ECS can always go next. daniel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Henri Yandell writes: Well, do we know who would be the one to accept the offer? I made a dump of jakarta-oro in ~dfs/pub/oro.svn.dump. I can't do svnadmin load --parent-dir jakarta-oro /x1/svn/test oro.svn.dump because you need to be in the svnadmin group. If someone with appropriate access wants to do the load feel free. I think it's better to move to svn sooner rather than later. daniel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My answers being: 1) Yes. I'm not the hugest fan of SVN, but my pains with it are largely server-side. I think we'll adapt to the different style of tagging, and the client-support is/will be good enough. 2) Yes, as they're not dead. 3) I can't see any.
