Date and Time

  • Planned date: Mar 2
    • (was earlier, but the shell server being down forced a delay)
  • Planned cutoff of CVS: Feb 28, midnight pacific time (-8)
    • No commits to CVS must happen after that time.

Things affected by CVS/SVN conversion (a todo list)

Done things

  • Convert CVS to svn using dump/etc
    • Things removed before conversion: CVSROOT, snmplib, ucd-snmp-patches, tcpListenerTable.h (top level???)
    • SVN Conversion Issues
    • SVN plugins added:
      • mail to -cvs
      • case insensitivy check
    • Other interesting stats:
      • Time to convert the CVS repository to the dump file: ~20 minutes
        • (needed multiple runs)
      • Dump file size: 1.97Gb
      • Time to compress bz2: ~ 20 min
      • Compressed dump file: 200Mb
  • mailing lists
    • sending commit messages to cvs list

Not Done

  • Convert CVS to svn using dump/etc
  • Web pages
  • Release System Components
    • I'll look at (re-)writing these as part of preparing 5.2.4.pre3 - DTS
    • dist/extractnews
    • dist/makerelease
    • dist/RELEASE-INSTRUCTIONS
    • agent/mibgroup/versiontag
    • ChangeLog
      • I wouldn't be surprised if we completely rebuild this
    • dist/Makefile
    • dist/cvsup, dist/cvsshow, dist/patme (all non-critical?)
  • backups
  • documentation
    • list...
  • mailing lists
    • sending of commit messages to cvs list
      • technically the list should be renamed but that's not possible;
        any objections to leaving it as is? -- fine by me - DTS
        (the other alternative is to create a new list and move everyone over)
