[Po4a-devel] RFC: Migrating away from CVS

[Denis Barbier]

Hello,

I am currently playing with cvs2svn to convert the CVS repository into
SVN.  As already told into another mail, I would like to reorganize
the directory layout when switching.  The CVS repository contains 7
directories:
  * po-debconf:  Up-to-date sources of the po-debconf Debian package.	 	 	
  * po-debiandoc: Obsoleted by the Sgml module of po4a
  * liblocale-po4a-perl, po-man, po-pod, Po4a:  These 4 directories
have been merged into po4a 7 years ago.
  * po4a: What we are interested in.

po-debiandoc has been removed from Debian servers in 2006, IMO it can
be considered as being dead and there is no reason to migrate it into
SVN.
po-debconf is alive, the question is whether it should live in the
same SVN repository.

The po4a module contains sources shipped in official tarballs,
experimental modules which are not part of official tarballs, and web
pages.

I created an experimental SVN dumpfile:
  http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/svnrepo-20100815.dump.bz2

Layout is:
  trunk/
    po4a sources, equivalent of CVS HEAD, without web pages
  tags/
    corresponding to CVS tags, which have been rewritten as 0.36, 0.36.1, etc
  branches/
    only contain 0.19.x branch
  web/
    web pages

Please test and do not hesitate to give comments.
Thanks.

Denis
