Import from Sourceforge CVS

Asked by Mechanical snail

I tried to link the IKVM package to the upstream on Sourceforge by registering a project: https://launchpad.net/ikvm. But I haven't figured out how to get the code import to work.

I tried creating the import at https://launchpad.net/ikvm/trunk/+setbranch, telling it to import the ikvm module from `ikvm.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ikvm`. It wouldn't accept that, saying "The URI scheme "ikvm.cvs.sourceforge.net" is not allowed. Only URIs with the following schemes may be used: http, https". If I prepend `http:` to it, it gets accepted, but the import fails (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/129274380/replicator-snail-ikvm-ikvm.log); it seems to think that "http" is the hostname.

How do you set up a CVS import from Sourceforge? Is this a Launchpad bug?

You can't currently create a CVS import directly from that page (bug #600014). As a workaround you can use https://code.launchpad.net/ikvm/+new-import to create the import first, then link it afterwards.
