== [svn] wrong repository root ==

The current svn import code determines the root of the repository by walking up the URL until svn ls fails. This was necessary because older versions of libsvn_client did not expose the repository root information. Newer libsvn_client allow to determine this information directly. In cases where there are nested svn repositories, the old logic is wrong and that cause the change filtering (ignoring change outside of the branch being imported) to ignore legitimate changes.

== [svn] unreliable server ==

The current svn import code makes many connections and does not retry when one fails. If the server is in the least unreliable (one failure every few thousand attempts to create a session) that will cause the import to fail.

== [svn] Partial copy ==

Current cscvs in production does not correctly handle revisions that combine a copy (that is 'A' or 'R' action with copyfrom set) with a simultaneous delete ('D' or 'R' action) in a path below the copy.

A new changeset generation logic that fixes this issue has been implemented and is currently undergoing review. When the code review and fixage has been completed, those import will be re-run and are expected to succeed.

Imports that failed to do REPORT on a path with a bang. I do not know what that means, but there's clearly a pattern.

This page tracks requests for actions from the vcs-imports operator.

To request an import, please:

  • Create a product in Launchpad and set the source details to the CVS or Subversion repository you wish to have imported. In particular
  • Add a request on this page, with the name of your launchpad account so I can find your email.

Note that we only do imports of MAIN branches on CVS (the form will have to be updated to remove the "branch" field) and trunk branches on Subversion.

We will handle your request and keep you informed of progress or issues. You can contact the vcs-imports operator: ddaa in #launchpad on irc.freenode.net.

Template to request an import:

[svn] wrong repository root

The current svn import code determines the root of the repository by walking up the URL until svn ls fails. This was necessary because older versions of libsvn_client did not expose the repository root information. Newer libsvn_client allow to determine this information directly. In cases where there are nested svn repositories, the old logic is wrong and that cause the change filtering (ignoring change outside of the branch being imported) to ignore legitimate changes.

[svn] unreliable server

The current svn import code makes many connections and does not retry when one fails. If the server is in the least unreliable (one failure every few thousand attempts to create a session) that will cause the import to fail.

[svn] missing uri-encoding

cscvs uses the svn_client API to libsvn to retrieve data (on Date(2006-11-09T14:31:29Z)), but does not correctly uri-encode locations. So file names that contain characters that must be escaped cause import failures.

[cvs] failed to open the modules file

cscvs needs to read the modules file to ignore configs (aka externals, nested trees).

[svn] Cannot import whole repository

The svn import code fails at processing imports at the root of a svn repository. Some repository are set up that way, with the actual root containing the source code. That's broken, but people actually do this.

Anchor(squid)

[cvs] None branch in findLastFileRevision

While creating changesets: assertion error, branchName is None in findLastFileRevision CVS/CacheGenerator.py:160

Failed to fork, memory error

Some large imports fail to os.fork() (when spawning gpg to sign a revision) with "OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory". It's not clear why that happen, since Linux should overcommit memory up to 50x (the value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_ratio) and allow large processes like cscvs to spawn small processes like gpg.
