This was for me a very informative message because if you know it should work, you know there is a solution to find. And I found one. The problem was that --- as cvs2svn was installed in the standard system --- Python, stuff was not found when trying to call cvs2svn with the new Python. So I tried: sudo make DESTDIR=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4 install but that results in things one probably does not want, e.g. during the install run one sees: byte-compiling /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ site-packages/cvs2svn_rcsparse/texttools.py to texttools.pyc So, I tried bypassing the cvs2svn Makefile after reading setup.py (and not knowing Python at all, guessing): sudo /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/python setup.py install which results in things that look better, e.g.: byte-compiling /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/site-packages/cvs2svn_rcsparse/texttools.py to texttools.pyc And after that a trial run seems to work (see below) So, what I did: - Downloaded and installed Berkeley DB 4.4 from source (I do not know if this was a necessary step) - Install the Python 2.4 Universal .pkg - Downloaded and unarchived cvs2svn-1.3.1 in /usr/local/src - cd /usr/local/src/cvs2svn-1.3.1 - sudo /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/python setup.py install After than cvs2svn can be used as follows (example only, the directory has not been cleaned before cvs2svn --dump-only has been run): hermione-a:/usr/local/subversion/II2/ii2-cvsbackup gerben$ /Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/cvs2svn -- dumpfile=svndump --dump-only . ----- pass 1 ----- [snip] Starting Subversion r70 / 71 Starting Subversion r71 / 71 Done. cvs2svn Statistics: ------------------ Total CVS Files: 596 Total CVS Revisions: 1793 Total Unique Tags: 3 Total Unique Branches: 2 CVS Repos Size in KB: 29412 Total SVN Commits: 71 First Revision Date: Wed Jan 14 18:12:24 2004 Last Revision Date: Wed Jun 14 23:19:58 2006 ------------------ Timings: ------------------ pass 1: 4 seconds pass 2: 0 seconds pass 3: 0 seconds pass 4: 0 seconds pass 5: 0 seconds pass 6: 0 seconds pass 7: 0 seconds pass 8: 130 seconds total: 138 seconds _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
