Hi folks,
I've made some improvements to my cvstogit shell script:
http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/ktdreyer/public_git/rpmfusion-tools.git
It has been a while since I last looked at this, so I ran it again and
it converted all the CVS modules to individual Git repos in about
three hours on my laptop.
Today in IRC kwizart was asking about the list of packages that I have
to skip, which prompted me to file a couple of new bugs with
infrastructure this afternoon.
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/2946 - three packages cannot be
checkout out of CVS
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/2947 - xmms-aac should be removed
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/2948 - vboxgtk is "free", not
"nonfree"
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/2949 - vlc-phonon-backend should be removed
Also, in case anyone's interested, kwizart also found that the script
doesn't work on el6. I've been running it on Fedora, and we need newer
features in Bash and Git that aren't available on the older versions.

Hi Ken,
I just looked at your email on your cvs2git script. Considering that
Fedora did the same a few releases ago, would it be worth asking releng
how they went about it?
I found Jesse's post here[1], which says they used the cvs2git tool from
cvs2svn[2].
I'm not aware of the work that has already gone into this. Please ignore
my mail if it's incoherent.

Hi Ankur,
Thanks for your email. Yep, I want RPM Fusion's CVS-to-Git transition
to match what happened in Fedora a couple years ago.
From what I remember, Jessie's script required direct disk access
to
the CVS repositories (CVSROOT). It looks like that's still the case:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/releng/tree/scripts/distcvs2distgit.py
I took a different approach because I personally don't have direct
disk access to the CVS repositories. In other words, my cvstogit
script works over the internet. Anyone can run it and examine the
results on his or her own computer. (It also has an additional feature
in that it will automatically merge together any branches for which
the content is identical. In hindsight I wish Fedora had done this
when they did their own conversion.)

No worries, and thanks for asking about it.
