CVS to SVN import selected project to existing repo

February 3rd, 2008 No comments »
1. Take a dump of the CVS repo(the projetc needed using):

cvs2svn –dumpfile=a_dump_file_name.dump –trunk=name_for_trunk –trunk-only path_to_CVS_repo/needed_project

Where –trunk=name_for_trunk means the name of trunk needed instead of having directory named ‘trunk’, It was my project name for me and I used –trunkonly since I have no use of branch or tags. and path_to_CVS_repo/needed_project is the path to myproject on CVS directory structure.

2. Load the created svn dump using svnadmin load command to an existing svn repo:

svnadmin load /SVN < itilnewdump1.dump

/SVN is the existing svn repo path, it not url its directory path!

Create a CVS user

March 1st, 2007 No comments »

adduser -M anoop
passwd anoop
(enter the desired password)
usermod -G cvs -U anoop

(my CVS server was setup with user group ‘cvs’ so I used usermod -G cvs replace the cvs with the group you used on CVS server)
