fromcvs's Introduction

From CVS to * in little time
============================

Prerequisites:
 - ruby (1.8.5 known working)
 - fromcvs, <https://github.com/corecode/fromcvs>
 - rcsparse, <https://github.com/corecode/rcsparse> (ruby module)
 - Ruby/RBTree gem
 - for git: git-fast-import, part of git 1.5
 - for db/commitset: sqlite3 + sqlite3-ruby (available as gem)


How to convert a CVS repo
-------------------------

There is still a nice frontend missing, so you have to invoke the scripts by
hand.

% mkdir gitdest && (cd gitdest && git init)
% ruby togit.rb /path/to/cvsroot modulename gitdest
% cd gitdest && git-repack -a -f -d      # optional, saves 20% or so

If you want to get nice author names, create the file authormap in CVSROOT:

% cat << EOF > /path/to/cvsroot/CVSROOT/authormap
corecode	Simon 'corecode' Schubert <[email protected]>
jdoe		Jon H. Doe <[email protected]>
branch-fixup	CVS repo conversion <[email protected]>
EOF

That's about for the quickstart.  Be sure to report conversion errors or
runtime issues (possibly due to obscure CVS repo activity) to me.

status of tohg.py and prerequisites

Is tohg.py on par with Ruby script? What are prerequisites for running it?

If not, what would be the process to install all prerequisites for Ruby version on Debian 6 system?

Does it require a copy of CVS repository on local server for incremental updates or can work only with local checkout?
