[viewvc-users] Conversion from CVS to Subversion

Hoping anyone can help me out...

I have been using viewVC for quite a while for viewing the progression of our LOCAL CVS repository.  We are looking at switching to Subversion, which I'm currently testing.

I have created the Subversion repository and imported each of our CVS modules into it as separate projects:

    "cd <emptyCVSSandbox>"
    "cvs co <module1> ... <moduleN>"
    "rm -rf `find . -name "CVS" -print`" to avoid transferring the CVS information into Subversion (starting fresh).
    "svnadmin create <path>/svn"
    "svn mkdir file://<path>/svn/tags"
    "svn mkdir file://<path>/svn/branches"
    "svn import <module1> file://<path>/svn/<module1>"
    ...
    "svn import <moduleN> file://<path>/svn/<moduleN>"

Now I want to be able to use viewVC to look at this new repository and not having much success.  I use viewVC in its simplest form with CVS:

    <pathToViewVC>/bin/standalone.py -g -r $CVSROOT

The above command worked "right out of the box" for looking at the CVS repository.  I have made one very minor change to the <pathToViewVC>/lib/config.py file to turn on the use of cvsgraph.

Now I want to do something similar with the Subversion repository I created (I'm aware that cvsgraph does not work with Subversion) and the following command does not work and I'm finding little information on how to fix it:

    <pathToViewVC>/bin/standalone.py -g -r <path>/svn

What changes to the defaults section of <pathToViewVC>/lib/config.py do I need to make?

Thank you,
Steve
