Moving from CVS to SVN at java.net

I like java.net. Ever since I moved AppFuse to java.net from SourceForge (in February 2004), I've been very happy with their service. I can't recall having an issue with CVS, and if I did, it was during a scheduled outage. The only thing that's ever made me consider moving AppFuse to another site was java.net's lack of Subversion.

A lot has changed in the last year, and now java.net does support Subversion. However, if you want a project converted from CVS to SVN, you have three options:

  • Drop and re-create your project, losing all of your mailing-list/forum history
  • Create an entirely new project, which gives you similar results to the first option
  • Pay to have your repository converted

Since I like being at java.net (uptime being the major factor here), I've decided to go with option #3. It's costing $750 to convert AppFuse from CVS to SVN, and Virtuas has agreed to sponsor the move. I like that we'll be using SVN soon, but it does seem odd that we actually have to pay for it. AFAIK, moving a SourceForge project from CVS to SVN doesn't cost anything.

In recent days, I've thought about moving AppFuse to Google Code, but it looks like they might be having some early growing pains.

Google Code Error

I saw that error too when creating a Google Code project just today but it actually created my project anyway. $750 seems a bit steep...

Honestly, I am having a hard time understanding the cost. There is a python script to convert cvs2svn. java.net uses ezmlm which stores the mailing list in a file format that is easy to move. I wish someone from java.net or Collab.net could respond as to why it is costing so much for what seems like someone executing some scripts. Cheers, Matthew

Charging money to move projectst to Subversion?! That's insane. This, along with their lame website design lockin, it's enough to make this a bad place to host a project. It's probably time to move Trails. Course I already have my own SVN and JIRA hosted elsewhere already ;)

As an FYI, that particular bug was squashed. Feel free to try now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
