It is amazing how a simple thread about a quite simple topic, with an easy solution, like this, turns to useless discussions about endless topics, like this git conversion. This mailing-list is getting really boring. :( I'm not asking nobody to write any "enhancement for cvs". irker is already "done", and working fine, but the authors just implemented support for git and svn, because this is what they use. We *use* CVS for now, then we would need to fix it to work with CVS, no matter if we will have git repositories at some time. I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was 5 years old. This should be doable with 10 lines of python, or using the cia->irker proxy that jdhore mentioned in another email. > Looking at the tracker [1], we need a pre-upload hook (I'm not quite > sure why), an rsync conversion script, the ability to validate the > converted tree, and documentation.

Have you ever thought that people may be not really interested on this move? or don't have the time to work on it? or don't care enough to spend time on it? or just wants someone else to do the work? If you want it, go ahead and push it, but in the right places, please. I'm tired of bikeshedding here in this list. :( [snip] Best regards, -- Rafael Goncalves Martins Gentoo Linux developer http://rafaelmartins.eng.br/
