I'm sorry but I don't have the time, energy or money resources to set up my own CPAN-wide Subversion hosting like that. At the moment I prefer to use a Subversion hosting maintained by someone else or by a Subversion hosting provider[1], rather than start messing with a setup like this under my own responsiblity. Similarly, I can't seem to be able to maintain (install, upgrade, keep spam clean, etc.) several web-apps on several different hosts, and would rather get providers that provide such services (like Wikia for MediaWiki, etc.). If I encounter a problem there - it will be fixed, not only for me but for everyone. Hostings I already have: 1. Subversion at http://stalker.iguide.co.il:8080/svn/shlomif-homepage/ . I'm keeping the sources of my homepage there because some of its content may not be open-source, and I feel that it won't be nice to use http://opensvn.csie.org/ or whatever for that. But I may be wrong, and it is not against the policy of some Subversion providers. I have a shell account on stalker, and occasionally need to compile Subversion, Apache 2, etc. However, I might get my admin to install these packages from the Debian pool. 2. http://www.shlomifish.org/ - this is an entirely static (but pre-rendered) site that serves as my homepage. It is hosted at http://eonspace.net/ [2] and I've moved it there so it will have good bandwidth. I have ssh access there, and am using rsync to upload the files. I once tried to install YaBB there, but my hostmaster and I failed due to some obscure Apache configuration problems. Maybe I'll have better luck next time, but at the moment, I don't have an immediate need for anything dynamic. (Except perhaps a small script or two.) 3. http://www.iglu.org.il/ - this is a community site that I got burried in maintaining. I have a root password for it. While I have some stuff there, I tend to avoid using it for anything serious, because the server is rather under-powered and the connectivity to anywhere except Israel tends to be slow. My homesite used to be hosted there, but it has been moved to eonspace.net. --------------- What I'm trying to say is that the last thing I need right now is to buy a server of some sort and put and maintain Subversion on it, and I believe that's the case for other people. And I think one central Subversion server (with some mirrors) is better than several dispersed ones. Adam, in case you have the configuration of the server (scripts, conf files, etc.) available somewhere public, I could try helping you once you're ready for it. No promises though. The number of tasks on a project's todo list always grows or remains constant, and so do the number of projects a developer is involved in.
