Migrating CVS repositories to Bazaar

[J. Bobby Lopez]

What is the current most popular method of converting CVS repositories to
Bazaar? (which is compatible with bzr 1.11)

I've tried "bzr-fastimport", "bzr-svn" (after converting CVS to SVN with
cvs2svn), etc, but I've run into difficulties with each of them.

Which one should I be concentrating on?

The last one I attempted to use was 'bzr-svn', which reported an error
saying that it needed 'subvertpy'.  When I downloaded 'subvertpy' and
attempted to install it, it gave an error saying it required 'apr-1-config'.

So I installed libapr1-dev, and give it another whirl, but this time it is
asking for the SVN development libraries, which (when installed via Ubuntu
packages) has a whole bunch of dependencies that I don't really want to
install on my system.

Is it necessary to install all this, or is there some shortcut I'm missing?
The CVS repositories I'm trying to convert are not very complex, just some
simple projects which may have a handful of branches each.


Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Bobby


P.S:  Just FYI, normally I wouldn't bother trying to migrate my repositories
from CVS to BZR, I would just export a working tree from CVS and turn it
into a BZR branch, starting my revisioning from scratch.  I'm just
attempting to to migrate a single project (with branches) right now; so that
if I'm successful, I can migrate  all my older sources and be done with CVS
completely, rather than having it hang around as a reference to changes made
previous to our use of Bazaar.
