[plt-dev] Subversion {server,repository} {upgraded,moved}
* The subversion server and repositories moved from winooski to
champlain, and the new server is now 1.6.6.
* You shouldn't have any problems with existing working directories
(mail me if you do see something), so you can go on using your
directory as usual. Also, things should work fine with your
existing svn client.
* However, I think that at least in one of the many upgrades that we
didn't do there was some optimization change that you'd get if you
re-checkout your working directory. Also, if there are some 1.6.x
features that required a 1.6.x server, then now you can use them.
* There were some problems reported (at least from John and Sam, IIRC)
with large files. The logs indicated a problem at the apache
transport level -- winooski should have a recent enough version, but
it became a mess of patched versions, so I can't be sure what
version actually gets used... In any case, going through champlain
also means a recent apache server, so hopefully these problems
should not happen again.
* This version of subversion does *not* resolve the permission bug
with the `usr' repository (the one you get when a file is copied or
moved). But the good news is that someone on the svn side reported
a fix, so if all goes well, it looks like their next release will
finally fix that. (And one reason for updating champlain and moving
the svn server to it is to make moving to the next release easier.
Maybe even it will be propagated through the Fedora packages.)
* I changed svn.plt-scheme.org to point to champlain, but while the
change propagates, winooski forwards all connections to champlain.
* The ViewVC interface (svn.plt-scheme.org/view) is not working yet,
I'll get to that next.
