automatic svn import does not work: is possible to import from repository dump file?

Asked by Pau Arumi

The subversion import for our project (clam) consistently failed over a week of daily retries:
https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/clam/trunk

This was filed into this question (the answer noted that this was probably caused by CSCVS bug #120992)
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/38806

Given this situation, could the (initial) import be done through a dumpfile of the repository which I can provide?
(I mean a dump file created like this: svnadmin dump path-to-repo | gzip > dumpfile.gz )

Thanks
Pau

CLAM devs still hope to try bazaar and launchpad. We'd appreciate that
this question receives attention.

I have a svn dump file ready to be imported waiting for some launchpad
operator to take care of it. Thanks.

Sorry for the slow response. I can take care of it -- do you want to send me a url to the tarball of the repo or dump?

Good news, finally! :-)

The dump file
http://parumi.org/clam.000000-011691.svndmp.gz

The svn repo is currently at revision 11826, so after importing the dump
file should catch up from 011691 to HEAD.

The subversion repo
http://iua-share.upf.edu/svn/clam/trunk

Thanks Michael!

The import is started -- I expect that even from a tarball it will take a few hours.

Ok, I see the initial successful import, and then a successive one:
https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/clam/trunk

*But* it is not synched with svn HEAD. Maybe it requires reconfiguring
the import?

BTW, a related question: why I see 6121 as last bzr revision if the svn
dump file had 11691 revisions? (I guess this is documented elsewhere,
but I'd appreciate a pointer or hint)

Yes, it requires manual fiddly reconfiguration and I have to sleep :)

You see fewer bzr revisions than svn revisions because the bzr branch only contains changes from the 'trunk' folder of the subversion repository.

OK, the import from the remote repository succeeded, so we're done, I think?

Yes, I see the last commits.
Let's hope this starts a great journey of CLAM in bazaar&launchpad land :-)
Thanks a lot Michael,
