Hartwork Blog

I’m still at renaming libSpiff to libxspf and as part of that I also decided to move from Subversion to Git. In case anybody plans to do similar here is what I did:

1. Get a shell account at git.xiph.org and write access to /var/www/git.xiph.org/libxspf.git/.
2. Run a few commands only my local shell:
   

   # Fetch old repository
   echo "EdSchouten = Ed Schouten <protected>" \
       >> libspiff_authors
   echo "hartwork = Sebastian Pipping <protected>" \
       >> libspiff_authors
   git svn clone https://libspiff.svn.sourceforge.net/\
   svnroot/libspiff --stdlayout \
       --authors-file=libspiff_authors
   
   # Build new bare/remote repository
   git clone --bare libspiff libxspf.git
   echo "Official libxspf repository" \
       > libxspf.git/description
   touch libxspf.git/git-daemon-export-ok
   
   # Upload it
   rsync -avz libxspf.git/* sping@git.xiph.org:\
   /var/www/git.xiph.org/libxspf.git/

More on libSpiff/libxspf later.
