I've never done it myself.  I might recommend if someone tries it that 
they start with a private repository -- you can set up a filesystem 
repository easily with svnadmin, then throw it away once you are done 
experimenting.

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.

Cool... I added you to the root sudo list, so have at it.  Make sure you 
back the repository up first, though, just in case something goes 
horribly wrong.

I migrated the SourceForge CVS repository to SVN on w4py.org.

There are two repositories right now:

svn://webwareforpython.org/Home
svn://webwareforpython.org/Webware

Anonymous read access is enabled on Webware, but not Home.

The import left a lot of useless revision data in 'branches' and
'tags', so for further development just grab 'trunk':

svn://webwareforpython.org/Webware/trunk

We may change the way this is arranged, so stay tuned. Also, we can
probably dump the older tags.

Please e-mail myself or Ian to set up SVN commit access.
