Been using svn2github for a while, mostly because of Virtualbox still being on SVN. I will miss your service x)

Okay I did it with:

git svn clone [svn-address] .

git svn rebase

I made a branch for my fork development, and now I don't even see why I'd use svn2github.

Yes, I will miss it too (thanks for sharing the tool to do it), especially when I run into strange "Access is denied" issues while trying to update or import doublecmd. I made an issue on github with logs.

Thanks for hosting all of this. It was a big gift to the community. It will be missed.

Nooo, this has been extreamly useful for me!!! :( Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for your kind words and sorry for the disruption of service.

It is true each time you issue git svn init it creates an incompatible clone.

What is needed to create one that's compatible with the previous one is the UUID that's assigned to the existing one using this:

# Clone the Git repo from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/svn2github/dosbox

# Initialize the SVN mapping and fetch the SVN commits:
git svn init --rewrite-uuid=UUID SVN_URL
git svn fetch

# Pull new commits from SVN and apply on top of your local Git:
git svn rebase
# This should say "remote/master up to date" unless there are new commits in SVN

# If SVN has more commits, you can push the changes back to GitHub by:
git push origin master

UUID for dosbox is ed541006-0bf7-43e9-8c4d-6fc63c346d47, SVN_URL is http://svn.code.sf.net/p/dosbox/code-0/dosbox/trunk

I will test that if that works, I'll open another issue in the repos with instructions on how to clone the repo so that its compatible with the GitHub clone.

I imagine one could set up a simple service/script that keeps the repo updated.

It'll be sad to see this great service go. Many of these longstanding projects (such as DOSBox) still seem to persist with SVN/Sourceforge, and svn2github seems to serve as a kind of hub for them all, serving in some cases as the closest thing to an official repo..

I've had a go with git-svn or similar before, but I seemed to get different commit hashes from yours, which was inconvenient when forking/merging.

If there's a way to have a "canonical" setup that can keep continuity with what you have done currently, that would be the next best thing, I think.

Any plans on making a way to mark svn repositories as following the standard layout of trunk, tags, and branches? I noticed that the DOSBox repo created a new branch based on their trunk, then merged it back in under svn, but the git-svn command that only references trunk recognizes that there was a merge, but doesn't know how to reference it so it doesn't record the merge (nor the branch).

leiger, oops, I forgot to put out a link: http://svn2github.com/

Hi Piotr,

Is this a project that you've already launched?

There's a newer version:

#!/bin/bash

if command -v python2 1>/dev/null; then
  python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer
elif command -v python3 1>/dev/null; then
  python3 -m http.server
fi

;-)

Zalozenia tego skryptu sa bardzo dobre, ale on zwyczajnie u mnie nie dziala. Sa dwie wersje pakietow netcat i testowalem ten skrypt na obydwu wersjach. Problemy leza jeszcze w innych miejscach. Czy autor zamierza poprawic ten skrypt? Jakby co jestem chetny pomoc.

To also enable reverse scrolling:

synclient CoastingSpeed=0 VertScrollDelta=-111 HorizScrollDelta=-111

oh man that was so helpful!! God bless you :D

Someone at work runs linux (forget which distro) on the company-supplied Macbook Pro. Doing the same thing might not resolve the keyboard issue, but would solve most of your software gripes. Not sure if there's anything available for Touch Bar support on linux - I'm sure a few enthusiasts have built something.

Just another option to consider :)

My new phone is also charged through USB-C, I enjoy this a lot. I don't need a separate cable, I can just unplug the laptop and plug the phone in. On a funny note, having an iPhone and the new Mac must be very annoying because:

• You need a separate charger for your Mac and for your iPhone
• You cannot charge iPhone from your Mac using the USB-C cable
• iPhone doesn't have the analog jack socket, so if you bought the special headphones for your iPhone you cannot use them with your Mac, because Macs, on the other hand, don't come with the Thunderlightningsomething but instead ship with an analog jack.

Given all the cons, I think I'm not gonna stick with this laptop. In addition to all said it's too big for my taste, so I'd rather have something that:

• nicely plays with Linux
• has a normal keyboard
• is 12-14 inch
• has more ports
• preferably still charges through USB-C and has good performance and battery life

Playing with windows

With window management, I'd highly recommend installing something called Spectacle. It adds many keyboard shortcuts for pinning windows to the side of the screen, or making windows full-screen (probably my most-used shortcut) … and generally helps to match Windows' screen pinning features.

Touch Bar

Touch bar is something I've avoided. I'm currently using the Macbook Pro that was released just prior to that one, and I'm hesitant to upgrade unless I have to. I think it's a cool feature to have, but definitely agree that physical keys are better in most situations.

It would've been better if they'd used physical keys that can change what icon is displayed on them - similar to what many of the more expensive gaming keyboards can do.

Also because the laptop is powered with USB-C, I can use my laptop charger to charge my USB-C phone!

Now that's a feature I'm looking forward to, if I ever do upgrade.

Currently I only have a Nintendo Switch that uses USB-C for charging, but phones are definitely moving in that direction and it's a good move IMO.

Can't comment much on that, as I said I haven't personally used it. However … I too was surprised at first when I heard that it was still around! :) Only recently.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

Wow, I've heard about Webmin about 10 years ago, I didn't know it was still a thing. From what I understand, it's a web UI for admin tasks on a Linux server with many modules (to configure Postfix, Samba, etc). It seems managing your crontabs is one of many modules. It looks like it would be a good UI for scheduling, but not necessarily for managing the execution of the jobs (sandboxing, time-limiting, inspecting the output, etc).

A friend uses Webmin on their web server, and it seems quite powerful. Haven't personally used it.
