Greetings,
My company has migrated all other development teams from CVS to Arch, and it's time for my team to do the migration as well. The person in charge of the other migrations is gone, and there is no one else in the company that knows much beyond the basics of update/commit. It's fallen to me to do the migration to my team. I've attempted to connecto to www.gnuarch.org and wiki.gnuarch.org over the past week with no success. My Googling for answers on migration methods has also failed. Does anyone have any migration documentation for going from CVS to Arch on a server other than gnuarch.org? I did manage to find http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial-old/arch.html but this URL has not been updated since 2003, and I'm afraid that it may be out of date.

First, what do you mean by "migration"? Converting your old CVS repositories to Arch archives, or just switching to Arch for your new projects? The former wouldn't be straightforward AFAIK (and perhaps wouldn't make much sense) while the latter is hopefully not too hard given the tutorial. > I did manage to find > http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial-old/arch.html but this > URL has not been updated since 2003, and I'm afraid that it may be out > of date. A slightly revised version of the tutorial is visible at: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial/index.html It does not contain any "GNU Arch for CVS users" section, but I've found it a good place to start learning about Arch. Hope this helps, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/ |

I've never personally used the conversion software mentioned in the link, so I cannot offer any advice about its use. The purpose of `tla-cvs-sync' is to track a CVS/SVN repository in an Arch branch. From my understanding, that's not what John is trying to achieve.

I think what you want to do is "tla import" the earliest CVS revision
into a new TLA archive (have a look at the GNU Arch tutorials for a guide on how to do this), and then run something like: for tagname in <list of CVS tags, in order> do cvs update -r $tagname until `tla tree-lint -t > /dev/null` do for newfile in `tla tree-lint -t` do tla add $newfile done done tla commit -s "CVS tag $tagname" \ -L "CVS synch with tag $tagname" done With such a script, your new Arch repository would not have the complete history of *every* file, but it would have one revision for every one of your tagged releases. Assuming there's nothing *too* weird going on with your source tree, of course...

Something like cscvs tries to detect "logical changesets" in the CVS repository, and commit each one to arch as a separate arch revision; if it works, it is a nice thing, but because it depends on heuristics (CVS simply doesn't keep enough information to do it properly) it won't work well unless your CVS repository follows certain conventions. In particular, I think cscvs uses comparison of log entries and dates so that commits done with "cvs commit -mMSG lots of files..." will be detectable as a single "changeset" (because they all have an identical log msg and a very close commit date). Projects where everybody commits each file separately with different log messages (like emacs :-( ) are pretty much hopeless. In cases where cscvs _doesn't_ work well, I'm not sure the resulting arch repository (which would end up with something like each change to each file having its own arch revision) would be very usable... Maybe it's better and simpler to just check in each real release / daily-snapshot / whatever as an arch revision, and call that close enough (if you don't do daily snapshots, you could just iterate though the CVS repository and check out a snapshot at 4am of every date...). -Miles -- Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra.
