move of Rmetrics -> R-forge

[Yohan Chalabi]

Hi Martin,

How are you doing?

In one of our last emails you said that the move of Rmetrics to R-forge
would be non-trivial and one of the reason was to keep the svn history.

This morning I had a look at the svn manual and it appears that you can
split a big project in sub-projects without too much of hassles. For
example it could be done for package fBasics as follows.

svnadmin dump [path/to/Rmetircs/svn/server] > Rmetrics.dump
svndumpfiler include fBasics < Rmetrics.dump > fBasics.dump

then one needs to manually edit the fBasics.dump to remove the
top-level directory Rmetrics.

More details can be found in section "Filtering Repository History" of
svn manual
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.reposadmin.maint.html)

Would it be possible to see you this week to discuss it?

regards,
Yohan
