The conversion to the Allura software at SourceForge only took 20
minutes this (Friday) morning. The check of the new svn repository
results againsts the old svn repository results took much longer but
finished just now. My checking script verified the old and new repos
generated the same complete log of all commit messages from revision 1
to the latest revision and also made sure that old and new repos gave
the same local directory results for 100 different revisions sampled
from revision 1 to the latest. So I am satisfied with these results
which give a pretty thorough check that we have successfully preserved
the PLplot commit history for more than 12000 commits starting more
than 2 (!) decades ago.

The old svn repo is still readable but not writeable so all further
development activity will be with the new svn repo.  Thus, those here
wanting to follow on-going PLplot development leading up to the next
release of PLplot (and also our core developers wanting to make
further development commits) should do a fresh svn checkout of the new
repo using one of the methods given when you click on the "code" icon
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/.

Please send a message to this list if you have any trouble accessing
the new svn repo or using any of the new (Allura) facilities at
SourceForge for the PLplot project.
