On this machine cvs *was* installed and cvs --version reports: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.04 (Zen) Build 3236 () (client/server) CVSNT 2.5.04 (Jan 18 2010) Copyright (c) 2008 March Hare Software Ltd. see http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro Python on this machine is version 2.6.5. Is there some way to move an installed package from an Ubuntu machine to another more recent machine? Then I could get cvs(nt) on Linux operational on my new Ubuntu 16.04.3 machine. This would make the conversion using cvs2svn possible with an executable that understands the cvsnt stuff. Or else I could possibly use the old Ubuntu10 machine.... OOPS! This machine seems to use an IPv6 address rather than IPv4, which is used on everything else on my LAN.. Sigh. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
