This might help us a lot! ----- Forwarded message from "Eric S. Raymond" <esr@xxxxxxxxxxx> ----- Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:12:20 -0400 From: "Eric S. Raymond" <esr@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Kooda <kooda@xxxxxxxxx>, Johan Herland <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Alan Barrett <apb@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: cvs-fast-export can now convert the NetBSD repo Delivered-To: kooda@xxxxxxxxx User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) I bring to your attention the following series of blog posts: Spending the âHelp Stamp Out CVS In Your Lifetimeâ fund http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6389 Black magic and the Great Beast http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6406 Building the perfect beast http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6454 Proving the Great Beast concept http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6466 The short version is: a high-quality conversion of the biggest NetBSD repo is now technically possible. A combination of successful software optimizations in cvs-fast-export and throwing hardware at the problem has borne fruit. Now we need to do the politics. Is NetBSD ready for an official cutover? If so, how are we going to schedule this? There's no time pressure on my end; the Great Beast probably won't go live for another month. In the meantime I have temporary ssh access to a machine almost as powerful for test runs. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
