Download svk bootstrap files for pugs and parrot

This page will give you links on downloading svk bootstrap files for offline hacking on pugs and parrot.

Why

I ever used svn, After I understand the concpets of using svk, I wish to switch to svk. I deleted all my svn working copy... and begins to mirror repository from remote server.

But it's a pain to svk sync -a on a repository with over 10k of commits which is like pugs and parrot. I began to sync parrot yesterday. It took almost a day to finish. And currently, svk sync /pugs/mirror just begins...

So I create this page for others who want to hack parrot and pugs, and use svk as version control system...

How to use the files.

  1. Download the dumpfile. 
        wget http://www.yourproject.org/project-bootstrap.dump.bz2
  2. create a svk repository. 
        svk depotmap project ~/.svk/project
  3. load the dumpfile into the repository. 
        bzcat project-bootstrap.dump.bz2 | svnadmin load --ignore-uuid ~/.svk/project
  4. sync the mirror to the lastest revision. 
        svk sync /project/mirror
  5. use svk as normal.

Note: Please make a local copy first for working offline. Now, all all bootstrap package contains nothing except the mirror.
