[Plib-users] SVN conversion

[<coz...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I know that the svn from cvs conversion on sourceforge.net seems to be
broken. I just tried myself to make a conversion from cvs to svn with
tuxkart (I didn't made it active since I was just testing), right now
the status of the conversion is 'waiting'.

I got the following permissions to the tuxkart project:

    *  You are listed as a developer (not administrator) for this project.
    * You may perform file release operations on this project.
    * You may access and commit to this project's CVS repository
(unless otherwise restricted by a cvs_acls installation).
    * You may access and perform write operations to this project's
Subversion repository (unless otherwise prevented by ACLs).
    * You may modify the contents of the project web site for this
project (unless otherwise restricted by file permissions and
ownership) on the project shell server.

So I'm supposing that any plib developer with these permissions can do
the same for plib.

After following the instructions listed in SF, I did got an error
(cannot create group object) the first time I tried the SF's migrate
interface, I tried activating svn (didn't worked, probably because the
svn repository was empty), and selected 'hosted resource' in the
'Select Subversion Resource' at the subversion page shown to project
developers even thought it was already selected.

Now, I don't know if it was just problems with sourceforge or if
reselecting one of the above options made the trick, but as you know,
it is now in process.

The whole point of this is that it seems that any plib developer can
do the migration (not just the admin), but maybe not without trouble.
In the worst case that no solution is found, a support request for
SF.net should be made by one of the devs in order to clear any
problems that cannot be solved with the migration.
