[Fink-devel] switch to fink.cvs.sourceforge.net

[Martin C. <cos...@wa...>]

Now that cvs is up again, I guess everybody is reinventing the wheel in 
the form of a little one-liner to convert their local CVS repository to 
the new style.

To save others the time for testing, here is one that worked for me (cut 
in four to avoid chopping by mailers):

find . -name CVS -type d \
-execdir perl -pi -e \
's|\@cvs.sourceforge|\@fink.cvs.sourceforge|' CVS/Root \; \
-execdir perl -pi -e 's|/cvsroot/fink/||' CVS/Repository \;

Note that if you only change the Root and don't change the Repository 
too (a change I haven't seen mentioned in SF's explanations of the new 
configuration), you will get thousands of "move away *; it is in the 
way" messages.

Run this inside /sw/fink, or change "." to the root of the repository 
you want converted.

A somewhat more comfortable method would be the following little script, 
to be saved for example as ~/bin/cvsconvert and to be used as

  cvsconvert /sw/fink


#!/bin/sh
# switch sf CVS rep to new version 2006-05-12
[ -z $1 ] && exec echo Usage: cvsconvert directory
DIR=$1
for CVS in `find $DIR -name CVS -type d`
  do
   perl -pi -e 's|\@cvs.sourceforge|\@fink.cvs.sourceforge|' $CVS/Root
   perl -pi -e 's|/cvsroot/fink/||' $CVS/Repository
  done
echo ...done

I guess something like this should be mentioned on the home page, too.
