As you support SVN already, you should just need to change the URL (since you are just handing it to SVN), and run svn switch. But ok, I'll give you 30 days for /repositories/alt/ once the new overlays box has SVN. (Combined with a suitably large warning in the SVN browse view). As a migration help, I have enabled the svn:// protocol on the old overlays box, so you can make a start on getting your users converted. svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/ -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
