Re: cvs2svn fails to parse certain RCS files

You've gotten further than I have. How do you set things up so that
cvs2svn can see and import the rcsparse.py module? I've gotten SWIG
1.3.15 installed and subversion saw that when it built and I told it to
install the swig subversion bindings. But when I run cvs2svn it can't
find the rcsparse.py module/file even if I put it in the svn python
site-packages directory or its own rcsparse directory.

What am I missing?
