Hello Rex,

The first problem is, that you have a lot of broken archive files in 
your database

>  WARNING: Unknown action 'ArchiveProject'
> WARNING: Unknown action 'RestoredProject'

Which version of the converter do you use? In the latest nighly build 
these two actions should be handled.

Please rerun with --verbose option. The problem is, that you have a file 
in your database, that is corrupt. The converter stops at this point. 
Running with --verbose will tell you the problematic file. Look at the 
output and try to move the last decoded file out of your database and 
run again.

Best regards
Dirk

Thank you Dirk.

vss labels support status

Hi everybody,
I'm new to this list and just a wannabe user of vss2svn.

I'm wondering if there are any news about vss labels support in
vss2svn as the wiki states that it's still missing.

I'm considering moving my code repository to svn using this tools, but
I need labels support because in vss we used them to mark release's
versions. Are there any best practices or workarounds for this
situation as I think it's a common vss label usage.

TIA.

PS: I couldn't find anything in the archives, maybe I was not clever
enough searching, if I missed the answer to my question just point me
there! ;)

Re: vss labels support status

Hello Paolo,

Please use the nightly build. In this version labels support is fully 
functional. All labels are mapped to a directory called /labels

I should really update the wiki for this information.

 <at> Toby: What about finishing the 0.11 release or make a 0.12 release, 
since we have solved a lot of the issues in the last nightly builds.

Best regards
Dirk

Uh, good news! :)

I'll test it and report my results here.

Thanks!

Hello Rex,

>

Your file data/D/DWIAAAAA ist broken, e.g. it is empty or it contains 
junk data. Please move this file out of your data directory hierachy and 
try again. Do this with all reported problematic files. You vss database 
seems to be very broken.

Best regards
Dirk

Sounds good. Actually I was thinking about just going full-bore and 
issuing a 1.0 release. I think that most of the major issues that most 
users would encounter when converting their repo have been solved, and I 
don't really see us adding any major new features unless someone else 
decides to take over. I first need to go through the ticket list again 
and see if there are any major issues that still need resolved. What do 
you think?

toby
