  1. Porting Steps

Porting Steps

  1. Install svn2git tool, see here

  2. Create 'author transform map' file in a local checkout of the stack to port using (from here): 

    svn log -q | awk -F '|' '/^r/ {sub("^ ", "", $2); sub(" $", "", $2); print $2" = "$2" <"$2">"}' | sort -u > authors-transform.txt
  3. Create a directory for stack/metapackage to port (NOTE: Each stack should be ported to it's own repository): 
    svn2git --no-minimize-url --verbose --rootistrunk --authors PATH_TO_THE_AUTHORS_FILE https://swri-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/<stack>

  4. Create a repository on Github with the appropriate stack/metapackage name. see here

  5. Link newly created repository to Github repo: 
    git remote add origin https://github.com/ros-industrial/<stack>
  6. Pull any files from the newly created remote (typically a README and a .gitignore): 
    git pull origin
  7. Push the ported stack/metapackage: 
    git push
