I was able to bring back svn 1.6 formatting to /cvs/cds/caltech/chans by doing the following on nodus:
cd /cvs/cds/caltech
mkdir newchans
cd newchans
svn co https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/chans ./
rm -rf ../chans/.svn
mv ./.svn ../chans/
Note that I used the http address for the repository. The svn repository doesn't live at file:///cvs/cds/caltech/svn anymore; all of our checkouts (e.g. in the scripts directory) use http to get the one true repo location, regardless of where it lives on nodus' filesystem. (I suppose we could also use https://nodus.martian:30889/svn to stick to the local network, but I don't think we're that limited by the caltech network speed)
Presumably, at some point we will want to introduce a newer operating system into the 40m, as ubuntu 12.04 hits end-of-life in April 2017. Ubuntu 16.04 includes svn 1.8, so we'll also hit this issue if we choose that OS.
Aside from the svn issues, this directory (/cvs/cds/caltech/chans) only contains pre-2010 channels. Filters and DAQ ini files currently live in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/chans, which is not under version control. It's also not clear to me why summary page configurations should be kept in this /cvs/cds place. |
