Import a repository into another repository.

1. First dump the first repository.

svnadmin dump repo1 > repo1.dumpfile

2. Filter if necessary (see svndumpfilter). Not necessary for me.

3. Create a directory in your repository for the project.

svn mkdir projectdir
svn commit -m "getting ready to import new project"

4. Load the project into the repository.

svnadmin load --parent-dir relative/path/to/projectdir repo2 < repo1.dumpfile

5. Now update your working copies.

svn update

Convert a Subversion repository from BDB to FSFS

Create a FSFS repository.

svnadmin --fs-type create repo2

Dump the first repository.

svnadmin dump repo1 > repo2.dumpfile

Load the dumpfile into the new FSFS repository.

svnadmin load repo2 < repo2.dumpfile

A lot more information is available in the Subversion FAQ http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#bdb-fsfs-convert

Fixing LaTeX-Suite's jump to error feature.

LaTeX-Suite's jump to error feature doesn't always work correctly. The following is a fix proposed by Martin Sander on the vim-latex-dev mailing list.

The key observation is that passing the option -file-line-error-style to latex formats the output in a parser-friendly manner. So add the following to your .vimrc file.

let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error-style $*'

And the following line needs to be added (at the appropriate place; see the patch below for context) to the tex.vim script of the LaTeX-Suite Package.

setlocal efm+=%E%f:%l:\ %m

Here is Martin's patch.

AIGLX + Compiz Fusion on MacBook

Install AIGLX. Following the instructions for setting up AIGLX, I did the following.

1. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as suggested in the above instructions. My xorg.conf file is below.
2. Restart the X server with '/etc/init.d/gdm restart'.
   
   # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
