Attempting to convert an old CVS repository into a git repo while keeping all the git history. However, I'm encountering the following error when I run the following command inside of my old CVS project:

git cvsimport -C "Directory of where I want to save to" "CVS Module"

"get_tz_offset" is not exported by the Git module Can't continue after import errors at /usr/libexc/git-core/git-cvsimport line 31 BEGIN failed -- compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport line 31

What line 31 consists of:

vim /usr/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport

31: use Git gw(get_tz_offset)

I'm running red hat 7.4 git version 2.18.0 with cvs version 1.11.23

Any suggestions? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was originally running off a git version 1.X version, but git cvsimport was not introduced until later.

  • You're probably using the system `Git` Perl module from the old 1.x version with with your new version of Git. Either specify `PERL5LIB` or use the Git version from Software Collections. – bk2204 Jun 11 '20 at 23:17
