cvs2svn doesn't work on a remote repository or a copy, so the the repository source tree with the RCS files in it has to be downloaded. Fortunately SourceForge generates nightly tarballs of the whole thing. I converted the entire Webware CVS repository and tested it on my own server and posted it here: http://eradman.com/pub/Webware-svn.tar.gz Anyone willing to test the Subversion conversion can access my test repository here: svn://eradman.com/Webware If someone with administrative access would like to give me permission I'll set it up. I also listed the steps I used to convert the repository below in case a step in this process needs to be repeated. -- Eric Radman | http://eradman.com Instructions: % wget http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/webware-cvsroot.tar.bz2 Make sure that subversion, cvs and rcs are installed % cd Webware % cvs2svn -s Webware-new Webware Starting Subversion commit 1 / 2053 ...
