[gmod-cmap] Fwd: CVS to SVN Conversion, 2009/09/15

[Dave C. G. H. D. <gmo...@go...>]

Hello Ken, and the CMap community,

On Sept 15, GMOD's CVS repository is moving to Subversion.  Rob Buels
of Cornell is doing the heavy lifting.  See below for details.

Ken, I see that there are already both a CVS and SVN version of CMap.
Should Rob do anything to either version, or has CMap already
effectively been migrated to SVN?

Thanks,

Dave C.

Hello all,

Rob Buels of Cornell / SGN has offered to upgrade GMOD's source code
repositories to use Subversion (SVN) instead of CVS.  After a two
month discussion on the GMOD Developers list (see
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.gmod.devel/364), this
update has been scheduled for September 15, 2009.

If you are NOT a GMOD developer then this will, at most, change how
you get pre-release copies of GMOD components.  In the future you will
do SVN checkouts instead of CVS checkouts.  The doc on the web site
will be updated to describe how to do this.

If you ARE a GMOD developer and your project is in GMOD's CVS
repository then please read the rest of this email carefully.


A complete list of projects in GMOD CVS is at
http://gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net/gmod/.  Over the next two weeks we
will contact project developers to confirm what projects are still
active.  All projects will be moved to SVN, but any projects that are
no longer active will then be deleted.  A backup copy will exist in
SVN, but users, by default, will no longer see the deleted projects.
This should clean things up considerably.  All projects will remain in
CVS as a read only archive.

We have tentatively identified these projects as NO LONGER ACTIVE:
  bop
  citrina
  gds
  gmod
  gmod-home
  goet
  graphbrowse
  imdb
  jalview
  javaSean
  labdoc
  org.bdgp
  pubfetch
  pubtrack
  sample_dbs

There may be additional inactive projects as well.  Again, we will
contact project developers before deleting any projects from SVN.

Rob has created a preview version of the repository at
http://bugs.sgn.cornell.edu/trac/gmod_test_svn/browser/.  Feel free to
poke around.  This version does not have any projects removed from it.

Rob will move the projects on September 15.  Before then everyone with
uncommitted code changes should commit them to CVS.  After September
15, all CVS checkouts you have should be removed and new checkouts
made with SVN.  We'll provide doc on how to do this.  We will send out
exact details on the move a few days before it happens.


Please let Rob and I know if you have any questions.  Again, we'll
send out a reminder and additional info a few days before the
conversion.

Thanks,

Dave Clements and Rob Buels
