Import SVN history

[robo9k]

Besides the exports of the engine/game source code for releases, the code and assets lived in a SVN repository. @codemasher asked to have the full SVN history imported into GitHub, if possible.

I found several checkouts scattered across backups, still have to figure out which is most recent, if any.
Repository points to svn://svn.tjps.eu/WoP/trunk so maybe @thiloschulz can help. Don't know if I'd have/could recover credentials, if it's still alive at all.

here!

I still have complete SVN directory. What do you want me to do?

[codemasher]

Hey Thilo, long time no see! The easiest thing would be to give brain and perhaps me access to the repo, so that we could maybe import it - or you could do it by yourself if that's not too much of a hassle for you :)
btw. you have still a pending invite to this org!

€: for the assets, as these should not be in the public: i can host a private repo under my username

Actually, I still have the subversion server configured. I just tested it. It works. All the users configured back in the time should still work. URL is svn://tjps.eu/WoP

This is great! Thank you for keeping that stuff for so long <3 Now let's hope brain remembers the credentials - i never had an svn account :(

[thiloschulz]

I can always change passwords / add users. However, as I don't know who you are right now, please forgive me if I don't give away credentials just as easily.

That's ok - i'm smiley, the website & forum person and brain is the one who wrote gamecode since v1.5.
I had an account on the bugtracker as smiley but i guess that's different from the svn?

[thiloschulz]

yep. do you have PGP? send me an email to thilo [ta] tjps.eu and I can give you login

[codemasher]

augh, i'm not that advanced, i just have regular email :D

I have imported the whole commit history via git-svn and will publish the source code repository as an archived repo for historical reasons soon.

[codemasher]

thank you!

I think this can be closed now.

I wonder what happened to the commit history from before 2009... if we had that, we could properly tag all releases there.
