This page explains how I migrated the VideoLAN CVS repositories to Subversion while still allowing anonymous CVS access for users who did not want to move to Subversion. If you are a CVS user and have not yet fallen in love with Subversion, I suggest you have a look at this excellent project. In fact, I recommend to be familiar with Subversion before reading this document, because I may have missed important things.

As CVS is quite dated and Subversion (SVN) introduced some handy features (atomic transactions, Apache piggybacking, more convenient branching/tagging, tons of other improvements), we chose to go with SVN. The big question was: how to use it correctly?

* Automatically generates a patch-set log from CVS check-in comments * User-defined color-coded database queries * Web-based administration of the CVSROOT/passwd file * Built-in repository browser * Built-in Wiki * Very simple setup - a self-contained executable runs as CGI, from inetd, or as a stand-alone web server * Minimal memory, disk and CPU requirements - works on old hardware * Access permissions configurable separately for each user * Allows for anonymous users * Uses a built-in SQL database engine (SQLite) - no external RDBMS required * Tested under Linux - works on other versions of Unix. Also works under Windows * Can be run from a chroot jail for added security. * GNU Public License
