Notes for the future -- Installing cvs2svn on a Mac

First off, you need the MacPython Additions for 10.3 (MacPython Downloads) -- that isn't mentioned in the cvs2svn documentation anywhere.

Then, you need to install the Berkeley DB module, described at 7.13 bsddb -- Interface to Berkeley DB library. Download it from Mac OS X Python Packages -- it's called _bsddb. No really, the underscore is a part of the name.

That will be enough to get cvs2svn --help to run, but doesn't necessarily mean that the damnable thing will actually work. If you download and install cvs2svn from the website cvs2svn.tigris.org, it will be installed at /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/cvs2svn, which isn't anywhere near the PATH environment varriable. Oh, and you have to unset your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable before most of the python stuff will actually run, it seems to conflict with OpenOffice.Org.
