CVS-INJECT(1) Debian GNU/Linux manual CVS-INJECT(1)
NAME
cvs-inject - inject a debian source package into a CVS
repository
SYNOPSIS
cvs-inject [options] <package>.dsc
This utility can be used to generate a unified CVS source
tree, for example, with
find /var/spool/mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/source \
-type f -name \*.dsc | while read i;
do
j=$(dirname $i | sed -e s:source/:: \
-e s:/var/spool/mirror/debian/:: )
cvs-inject -x$j $i
done
Which happily gobbled up the sources and created a CVS
repository on my machine until the partition filled up.

Set up some space, and I shall do it (I have had some talks
with someone who thinks they can give me some space for the CVS
archive). Stay tuned.
