Subversion

[WhyWorkPlayHalo]

Does anyone have any experience setting up a subversion repository? Does bluehost support this functionality through apache? I'm looking for a way to have source control on my turbogears/rails projects (Thanks for setting up fastcgi bluehost!).

No, we don't support that. cvs is already installed on all our servers, though, and while you don't have access to its standalone server, you can use cvs over ssh to do source control.

I think subversion may support a similar mode of operation, but we don't have it installed anywhere.

What do we set the CVSROOT var to?

I'd be really interested if this was made available? Any chance of it in the future?

I use Subversion for my development projects. It is very stable, and it is very comfortable for CVS users. A big feature for me is that it "versions directories", not just files, which means it maintains file history even it they are renamed/moved. The binary diff also means that it consumes far less disk space, even though binary files are typically in minority in a version tree.

I'm looking for information on setting up subversion on my bluehost as well. Any idea if this is on the planned new features list?

Update
I found the following links usefull inhelping setup subversion on my site, since it isn't available by default.

I would also recomend using "nice -n 19" before running any compile commands as it helps to alleviate server load for non critical issues.

Just wanted to add my 2c, that I'd also love to see Subversion support.

OK, one more time.

renicing a process DOES NOT reduce server load. It just makes the offending processes bahve a little better and allow other processes to get cpu time first. THe load still goes up, and you still slow down the server (overall). Renicing is a good thing, but is not a catchall fix for CPU congestion.
