Re: Proper way to migrate IB 2.0 NIBs to 3.x?

Well I took the plunge and went the subversion route. :o

While the conversion tool, cvs2svn, was pretty painless once I'd gotten it built ok, the setup was a bit daunting.

For os/x 10.5.5 you need at least python 2.6(I used 2.6.2 with dmg packaging) a new gdbm 1.8.3; something about the shipped python (2.5.1) didn't work or wasn't built to support the tool due to gdbm, blah blah blah. I obtained instructions to build both but it took a couple tries to get python properly setup; seems to be two places where frameworks get put:

/Library/Frameworks and
/System/Library/Frameworks/

and paths for CLIs

/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin

You'll know you're there if you can "cvs2svn --help". I did it in the repository host using 'sudo' to create the root path; technically I use paths like

svnrep.0
svnrep.1
...

then use a soft link to the latest. As suggested I created a backup and it was pretty painless after that but I did notice some slight nits:

o various paths under the svn repo need to have their modes set;
this might just be me as I prefer to use group vs. a single user
permissions; group write for my uses was needed;
found a web page tutorial

o the xcode ssh linkage I'd used before for cvs worked fine!, once I
figured out what to enter into the repository dialog:

name: my svn repository
URL: svn+ssh://remote-host:/usr/local/svnrep
Scheme: svn+ssh
Path: /usr/local/svnrep
Port: <blank>
User: slashlos (or yours)
Password: <blank>

o the size of the working directory is nearly double that of cvs!

The really nice thing was finding a good gui, svnX. Xcode usage appears slightly different.

Oh, and no .nib files! I left cvs intact (never delete information) just in case. ;-), and promptly burnt all to a cd-rw. Thanks!
