Hello everybody.
After getting frustated with MY inability to view 'changesets' in the CVS repository for h323plus I decided to give cvs2svn a try, just to see how it came out.
I've done a rsync dump of the 59Mb cvs repo at sourceforce and did a plain 'cvs2svn --encoding=latin_1', which seems seems to came out nicely. I can to be comming out nicely, it generated a trunk, a pboolean branch and several tags:
~/conv$ svn list file:///home/folarte/conv/h323plus-svn/branches pboolean/ ~/conv$ svn list file:///home/folarte/conv/h323plus-svn/tags plus_1_20/ v04/ v1_19_5/ v1_19_6/ v1_19_7/ v1_20_0/ v1_20_1/ v1_20_2/ v1_21_0/ v1_22_0/ v1_23/ v1_24_0/ v1_25_0/ ~/conv$ svn list file:///home/folarte/conv/h323plus-svn/trunk CVSROOT/ applications/ extensions/ h323plus/
As it is it serves my needs ( helping me see related files for backporting things into releases, and given the time it took I can ), but, as I think developers must be somehow familiar with subversion, ( as ptlib and lots of other projects use it ) I wonder if someone will be interested in converting the main repo. In this case I can try to build and tune a conversion script for better processing of things like the CVSROOT scripts and build a svn dump which could be tested and, if desired, imported.

Hi,
personally, I don't really see much gain in a conversion to SVN.
For a fresh project I'd probably use something modern like git, but for H323Plus (and GnuGk) I don't think the conversion is with the effort.
Just my 5 cents, Jan
I would agree with Jan as we are the two main contributors to h323plus and GnuGk it would probably not be worth the effort. If we were to start over as a fresh project then we would probably go with GIT.
