I tried this and failed because of 4 issues: - I couldn't get the initial import patchset (2) - I couldn't get two other patchsets - One patchset added a file which already existed (11504) Trying cvsps with the BKCVS gateway, you won't be able to automagically import all these patchsets into some other SCM. I got the BKCVS->SVN script and I'm still looking at it. Other than that, I'm to have a deep look at cvsps if there's some hidden bug which lets it fail on mentioned four patchsets... However, I want to thank Larry for the BC->CVS gateway. Eventually, some customers could make some use out of it, but it definitively tells us that Larry is willing to do more than giving BK away (in most cases for free (as in beer)) - he's investing in it as well as tryin' to keep us using it (for what he offers some small presents from time to time such as hosting service and BK->CVS).
