Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Re: Re: Re: OCT meeting: bug-stomp!!, test-server, svn & trademar

Ham, does the setup you say (fetch code from cvs) will "replicate in SVN" what we actually have in CVS? if yes, it will be nice for testing a while how SVN works. We can give you access to actual CVS server, so you setup everything there.
Tailor will do a cvs checkout from a CVS repository and an svn checkout from an SVN Repository. It will then do a diff and extract the code changes. Finally depending on the parameters you pass to it, tailor can

- commit the changes/differences to the CVS repository
- commit the changes/differences to the SVN repository

This is useful in a situation where you would like to keep a vendor branch of let's say OpenACS head from OpenACS CVS on a branch in your subversion repository.

And yes, we can also use tailor to extract say OpenACS HEAD into a test subversion repository for testing/review.
