Great! The documentation (and scripts) in /repos/private/pmc/subversion/machines helped a lot, resulting in an svn 1.9.4 client. I've also copied the homedirs for wayita and svn-role over from the old machine to the new one. Next steps: - Finish setting up wayita - Test backport.pl / svn-role - Set up cron job for backport.pl - Turn off cron job on svn-qavm2 Anything else? -- Johan
