cd ˜/projects
bk setuptool test_package

# Import of plain files from a tar archive.
# In order to do an import, the destination
# repository needs to exist. Notice that we put the
# package in subdirectory, this is useful.

bk import -tplain /tmp/gcc ˜/projects/test_package

# Import of a CVS tree which resides in /tmp/mycvsproject.
