Hello, I need to move a subversion deployment from an ancient Redhat server to a new Centos7 server.
The old subversion server is running version 1.4.6-1. The new server is running 1.7.14-11. There's 110 different repositories on the old server, so I'm looking for an efficient way to move all of the old repositories to the new server. The old server has its repositories under "/data/subversion", so I created the same folder and sub-folder on the new server. Is it possible to do an NFS share of the /data/subversion folder on the new server, mount that share on the old server and just "cp -R --preserve * " to the new server to keep the same permissions and ownership? Will all the repos work correctly if copied over in that way? I tried a test of a couple of repo folders and it seemed to copy over and keep all the correct permission/ownership settings, but I'm not sure if the repos will still work correctly without doing something additional to them. Thanks, PG
