Hello Sylvain,
I've finished converting the gnuspeech CVS repository to SVN dumpfiles
via the cvs2svn software. I would just like to confirm if it's okay to
use multiple dumpfiles for loading the SVN repository?
Here's some background.
First, I've restructured the repository slightly so that we have 5
dumpfiles. I've edited the dumpfiles slightly (and carefully) so that
it should be as painless as possible for savannah using the standard
'svnadmin load' command without any special switches (the parent
directories: osx, gnustep, nextstep, docs, and misc are created and
added within the dumpfiles).
I've set up the dumpfiles so that the top-level structure will look
like this:
/
osx/
trunk/
branches/
tags/
gnustep/
trunk/
branches/
tags/
nextstep/
trunk/
branches/
tags/
docs/
trunk/
branches/
tags/
misc/
trunk/
branches/
tags/
I'm assuming savannah will be loading the dumpfiles into the new
repository something along the following lines (depending on where the
actual path to the new SVN gnuspeech repository is located):
$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-osx-dumpfile
$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-gnustep-dumpfile
$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-nextstep-dumpfile
$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-docs-dumpfile
$ svnadmin load /sources/gnuspeech < gnuspeech-misc-dumpfile
Let me know If this is correct and all is well. If so, I can upload
the 5 dumpfiles to https://savannah.gnu.org/register/upload.php and we
can begin the change-over.
Best,
dalmazio

There seems to be some ambiguity in the material I have been
reading but
that is likely my fault :-$
You need to convert it yourself and send us a dump, indeed :)
