What is the procedure/steps for migrating a project from the CVS repository on a Windows XP server to a repository on a Linux server. &nbsp;It would be helpful if the versioning history and log information can be retained during the migration.<br />
<br />
I know one of the options we have is to do an CVS export from the Windows XP box and then do a CVS import of the contents to the Linux box. But in this method the versioning information is lost.<br />
<br />
The CVS versions is the same on both the boxes.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

CVS repository migration from Windows XP to Linux box

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
