To mount the remote shares as local ones you can always use SftpDrive for Windows machines and MacFUSE+SSHFS for Mac. No need to FTP over!

Hello, this article is very interesting !!!

Hi, thanks for the great article! The web site I’m currently administerting has about 17G of data… some of this content is media which can be moved I guess… but still, how do you recommend maintaining a large working space for users?

Hi,
I have configured the post-commit:

svn up $FROM
rsync -p -g -avr –delete –cvs-exclude $FROM $TO

It is works well for the root user, but I have a problem when I use other users for commit.
How can I use svn and rsync with two different users: daemon - apache user and my $FROM directory has owned by “kostya” user. I put these users to the same groups (daemon and kostya), and changed mod 775 for $FROM directories but I still have errors:
rsync: failed to set permissions on “$FROM/somefile.php”: Operation not permitted (1)
rsync: failed to set permissions on “$FROM/somefile2.php”: Operation not permitted (1)

Could somebody help me?

me, duh

I use sftpdrive to map my linux server to a network drive (via ssh).

After much thought I’m trying for the same setup you propose.

Unfortunately tortoisesvn does not work in conjunction with the mapped drive. But it does work fine via samba when I am in the office.

ok, so lets say I have a project called. ‘projectA’, and a user ‘me’
would I check out the project to ‘/var/www/dev/me/projectA/’ ? is there anything wrong with this setup?

the ‘dev/’ folder would hold all user’s ‘working copies’, and most likely an .htaccess file to require valid users.

how would one modify/work on that ‘working copy’? I mean, you can’t really load it into say, subclipse running on a different machine… can you?

something doesn’t click right in my head about this setup, i think i missed something but i can’t figure out what. I’ve been reading as much as i can from that ‘Version Control with Subversion’ book to no avail.

note: new linux user here, its been 4 days since i started using linux, 2 days for subversion

In my opinion, trunk is for active development - it’s definately not a production branch. IMO development is an ongoing and iterative process:

1) Branch trunk for mini project
2) Code new feature/bug fix on devel branch, periodically merging changes from trunk onto the branch.
3) Merge back changes from devel branch to trunk
4) Branch trunk for next mini project

At this point, trunk has your latest change on. When it has been acceptance tested, merge specific changes from trunk to release.

YMMV, but I cannot think of a worse system than one automatically putting trunk live..

I resolve it!
1. At the proxy (WinGate) create the additional WWW Proxy service, which go to inet directly, not through proxy of my provider.
2. At the TorotiseSVN -> Settings -> Network
set proxy to yourown for a sample ( 192.168.0.1 adress local proxy, port 733 you opened for it at the WWW proxy service)
