So I'd urge you to copy over to the >Linux system first, and do cvs2svn there. I just created a testing server using Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTE x64 and it was not a big deal to get a subversion server integrated into Apache2 running on it. Took something like 30 minutes all in all including writing down every step I took. So now I have a system on which to import the dump file, which I will try to make on my Windows machine. As I understand it: - Get cvs2svn (Done) - Configure cvs2svn (Not yet done, seems to be quite a hurdle...) - Run cvs2svn, which creates a dump file - Move the dump file to the Linux server - Import the dump into a new repository By the way, on the new Linux machine: $ svnadmin --version svnadmin, version 1.9.3 (r1718519) compiled Aug 10 2017, 16:59:15 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu So this svn seems to be pretty much up-to-date. :) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
