moving repo

[Rob Helmer]

Hello,


search.cvshome.org seems to be unreachable, and I am wondering about
people's experiences moving repositories as I search for info
elsewhere..

I'm probably going to move a CVS repo from an old Solaris box
to a new Debian box. I was thinking about creating a new repo
on the Debian box and manually merging in the old configuration
files ( if neccessary ) and moving a tarball of the RCS files.

Is there anything I should look out for when moving a repository
in this way? I was going to tell developers to just create a backup
of their old workspace ( tarball or something ) and check out the
new one, so everybody's sync'd.

Any anecdotes would be greatly appreciated :)


Thanks,
Rob Helmer
