Description Daniel Westermann-Clark 2006-12-01 14:13:16 UTC

SVK supports an optional feature known as VCP, to mirror CVS and other repository types than Subversion.  It uses an additional package, VCP-Dest-svk.

Adding support for VCP to the SVK ebuild was discussed briefly on the gentoo-perl mailing list in October:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.perl/310/focus=312

I'll request a new package for dev-perl/VCP-Dest-svk from the perl herd shortly.  Patch to the 1.08 ebuild also forthcoming.

Patch to svk-1.08.ebuild to depend on VCP-Dest-svk

Adds a "vcp" USE flag and a PDEPEND on VCP-Dest-svk (to avoid the circular dependency).

Suggested use.local.desc entry:

dev-util/svk:vcp - Enable VCP support, to mirror CVS, Perforce, and other repository types

Comment 2 Daniel Westermann-Clark 2006-12-29 22:01:19 UTC

I haven't found a formal announcement, but according to #svk VCP is not supported as of SVK 2.0.0.  Oh well.  :)
