Yes I am.

They are. cvs is on alioth.debian.org (hadyn) while svn is on
svn.debian.org (costa). So, I guess I have to do the following:

ssh alioth.debian.org "cvs2svn --dump-only /cvsroot/pkg-shadow"
scp alioth.debian.org:cvs2svn-dump /tmp
scp /tmp/cvs2svn-dump svn.debian.org:
ssh svn.debian.org "svnadmin load /svn/pkg-shadow/ < cvs2svn-dump"
ssh alioth.debian.org "rm cvs2svn-dump"
ssh svn.debian.org "rm cvs2svn-dump"

Oh, wait a second: cvs2svn isn't installed on alioth! I guess I can produce
the dump on my own box once the groups are created the way you propose? Do
you already have a dump I could use (even easier)?

Ok, waiting for your green light, then.


Many thanks for your time,
