BitKeeper to CVS converter

For those of you that may have missed it, I'm sending out a copy of the
press release that announced our new BK to CVS converter.  As part of our
earlier announcement regarding our commercial focus, we offered to migrate
BK repositories over to CVS on a "time available" basis.  This new system
automates the process and will speed conversions.  If you should have any
questions regarding the migration you may email us at [email protected]

South San Francisco, CA June 1, 2005 -- BitMover Inc., the provider of
BitKeeper, the industry's only peer-to-peer collaborative development tool,
today announced the availability of their BitKeeper to CVS export tool.

This tool is part of BitMover's migration strategy as they focus exclusively
on their rapidly growing commercial customer base.  This shift is expected
to significantly accelerate BitMover's development of their next generation
tools.

For those projects that will not avail themselves of BitKeeper's commercial
program there is an export utility that will convert a BitKeeper repository
into a CVS repository.  You will find instructions on how to use that
utility at;

http://kernel.bkbits.net/cgi-bin/cvsexport.cgi

Beginning July 1, 2005, all existing BitKeeper binaries will require license
keys to enable continued use.  Users wishing to request commercial
evaluation licenses can do so at;

The hosted projects website, BK/Bits, will continue to be a warehouse for
open source projects and can be accessed with the open source client.  Many
projects will be converting to commercial and will continue to supply source
on BK/Bits.
