You might want to modify any scripts you have used before, but if you are on Linux and will stay on Linux thta might not be needed. But there are some differences that are not back-portable, the one that comes first to my mind is the binary diffs that CVSNT uses to reduce the size of the RCS file when storing binary files. This is not compatible back to old cvs as far as I remembr. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Thomas Keller Sent: den 5 november 2004 11:05 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Upgrade from old-style cvs to cvsnt Hello there! My company still uses v1.11 of the original cvs and I could recently persuade them to switch to cvsnt. Now my question is: Is there anything special I need to do to move the cvs repositories into cvsnt? Or is it enough to just copy the repository paths into /etc/cvsnt/PServer? Is there any possibility to move back from cvsnt to cvs at a time if it is needed? Or is the rcs format completly incompatible due to the new features of cvsnt? Its just that my boss likes to have an option to return if anything fails - not that it would, but meh, he's... the boss. I've searched through the wiki and couldn't anything which dealed with upgrading old cvs repositories . Thanks in advance, Tommy. -- Ich weiß, das ich nichts weiß. (Sokrates)
