# get cvs2svn from http://cvs2svn.tigris.org
# cvs2svn (it is a python script, so obviously you need python)

cvs2svn --dumpfile Pack_Solaris-00.dump Pack_Solaris
# where Pack_Solaris is a cvs module i retrieved with cvssuck

# i manually created ai.aaa/branches/martin/Pack_Solaris in svn as the cvs2svn
# script created the 'standard' svn module layout:
# /branches
# /tags
# /trunk
#
# and i prefer to have the following layout:
# Pack_Solaris/branches
#             /tags
#             /trunk
#
# now everything
#
svnadmin load --parent-dir ai.aaa/branches/martin/Pack_Solaris /usr/local/svn < Pack_Solaris-00.dump
