I would really like to finish the migration away from CVS to hg.

This is a list of items that need to be done for this to happen.

There are at least the following topics:

• conversion:

  • basically done, possibly one 'final' cleaned-up conversion
    • currently waiting for auditlog merge
    • DONE authormap is finalized
  • github mirror
    • after final conversion happens, either force-push or make a new repository and deprecate the old one

• documentation for developers

• DONE public access:

  • hg:
    • public
    • for developers
  • read-only git

• releng some scripts need to be adapted

  • localsrc/releng/autobuild - martin@ is working on it

• anita test bed

  • anita not affected, but the underlying bracket tool needs changes for hg support (wiz@/gson@ have started working on this)

• Daily/weekly jobs:

  • daily publishing jobs for tarballs
  • updated extracted sources? ftp.NetBSD.org?
  • autogenerated CHANGES HTML pages for src & pkgsrc(?)
  • all the pkgsrc automation (requires an unpacked updated tree of the right branch, doesn't care how it came into being)
  • when we migrate htdocs and htutils, update of the web pages
  • backups of the repo(s)
  • what else?

• RCS Ids

  • for src: set -D_SOURCE_REVISION=\"$(hg log -r . -T {node})" (computed once) instead of the RCS Ids so that "ident /netbsd" stays useful.
    • joerg@ has a WIP patch
  • DONE for pkgsrc: USE_PKG_ADMIN_DIGEST has been set to yes

• DONE do we need new hardware for the server(s)?

  • no; use cvs and anoncvs machines

• rename 'hgmaster' host to 'hg'

• turn on hg as main repository

  • switch them one by one?
    • public repositories
      • othersrc (needs a conversion first)
      • htdocs (needs a conversion first)
      • pkgsrc - public & internal
      • src - public & internal
      • xsrc - public & internal
    • internal repositories
      • htutils (needs a conversion first)
      • localsrc (needs a conversion first; update localsrc/releng/autobuild/autobuild.txt)
      • wikisrc (needs a conversion first)
      • pkgsrc-wiki (conversion exists, ask wiz@ for access)

• turn off CVS/anoncvs server

• close tech-repository mailing list
