Hi, The OSCAR subversion repository migration has been successfully completed. There are only a few differences that you will notice: 1. Subversion access may be a bit faster (the new server has greater networking capacity and is a much faster machine). 2. We are using a prototype software called "SourceHaven" for Subversion management. It is not yet complete (and still has the odd bug here and there), but most of you have already used it to sign up for an account on the server. We will be ignoring most of SourceHaven for the time being and only utilizing it for user management (i.e., all committing developers must get a SourceHaven account). The back end of SourceHaven is pure Subversion, so all "svn" command line client access that you are used to from the old server is 100% identical to how it is on the new server. 3. Developer subversion access - The SVN URL is the same - The IP address and SSL certificate from the old server are identical on the new server -- there is no need to wait for DNS propagation. You can start using the new server immediately. - You can still use the same working copy that you checked out from the old server. - All the current OSCAR developers were sent e-mails to sign up for an account in SourceHaven. I believe that most have completed the process to get a SourceHaven account and have been added to the OSCAR project. - If your SVN username has changed, just enter a wrong password the first time you are prompted for it from the "svn" command line client (e.g., just hit enter). It will then ask for your username and password. - If your password is different, simply enter your new password the first time you are prompted for it from the "svn" command line client. 4. Anonymous access - The old URL for anonymous access is available, but is deprecated -- it will stop functioning on 1 April 2006: - The new, preferred URL is: Both URLs are currently equivalent. Everyone is encouraged to switch to the new url (/svn/oscar/) as soon as possible. 5. SourceHaven access - For those who created their account on the SourceHaven system, the URL is: https://sourcehaven.osl.iu.edu/ 6. WebSVN is not ready yet. It will be set up soon. 7. Trac is not ready yet. It will be set up soon. Please let me know if you have any problems with the OSCAR subversion on the new server. - DongInn -------------------------------------------------------- OSL System administrator Indiana University Bloomington, IN |
