Distributed Subversion-tool

mipmip 2006-03-21 11:12:49 UTC #1

Hi all,

Anticipating the future transition to subversion, as I assume most members
agree with the SVN-transition, I want to inform you about an interesting
tool: SVK.

This is a tool that uses subversion repositories to enable distributed version
control. It’s inspired by Arch and seems to be very powerfull. I’m not sure,
but I think it can be transparantly used next to normal use of subversion.

When I have some time, I’ll investigate it more.

See this link for more info: http://svk.elixus.org

For the ones that do not know this allready. We’re planning to migrate our CVS
repository to the new subversion service sourceforge is offering as soon as
the new release is out.

Greets,
Pim

Hi Pim,

a distributed version control would be a real benefit.

So far I cant see a big benefit from using subversion. On the contrary
the graphical tools for subversion are a lot more basic, compared to the
cvs ones (eg. none overs a graphical history).

Only real benefit I can see, is for anonymous users, as they dont have
to open the pserver port in their firewall.

Hi Ralf.

I know you’re sceptic about SVN’s benefits. But if you have used it yourself
on daily basis you would understand what I mean.

The benefits are specially in the ease of use. SVN is faster and far more
easier to use and learn. Also SVN is much easier to maintain. I think a lot
of people would agree with the statement: “If something works more simple
less mistakes are made.”

Indeed the’re also a lot of interfaces around svn and its groing. I myself
love to browse with konqueror using the SVN+SSH-kio_slave.

About SVK. If I have understand it well you can use SVK after we are migrated
to SVN. This is nice stuff for you to play with. And people who find SVK and
distributed version control to complex can just keep using their normal
svn-client. That’s nice isn’t it.

Greets,
Pim

Just to make sure I got the basic idea:
SVK would allow me to do version control locally (i.e. check in each minor
modification, maybe even untested ones), and when I’m happy with my work
I submit the whole thing to the central repository?

That’s great!

I take advantage of this thread for one question: whenever I perform a
cvs update, some necessary write permissions get lost, and I have to
remember to run a script like this:

LOG=${0%.sh}.log
rm $LOG
find . -name “phpgw_en.lang”>>$LOG
if [ -s $LOG ]; then
for f in $(cat $LOG); do
d=$(dirname $f)
chgrp -R egroupware $d
chmod g+rwx $d
chmod g+rw $d/*
done
fi

Is possible to fix this with CVS, or will SVN be able to fix this?

Regards.
