Can we please get it going again?

This is the right place to ask.

This import was disabled because it failed consistently. The last attempt failed with "attempt to patch non extant file : dlm/tests/usertest/flood.c", which usually indicates that the repository was altered in an history-destroying way, typically to implement renames.

I will investigate further and attempt to fix the import later this week.

After investigation, it turns out that it was exercising a known bug in cscvs, described there: https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImportRequests#cvs-file-added-on-branch

I worked around the bug with a manual commit, and the import was able to proceed.

Enjoy.
