RE: [Reactor For CF] Reactor download

[Doug Hughes]

Given everything else, this isn’t a high priority for me.  However, I know that it’s an option and I may move this way at some point.   Thanks for the feedback everyone,   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared Rypka-Hauer Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 3:54 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: [Reactor For CF] Reactor download   Doug,   If you were to take Simeon up on his offer of SSVN+Trac this issue would go away instantly since the system he uses is built around the mod_dav plugin and Apache+Subversion integration. The other nice byproduct of this is the fact that people can at least get to the repository via any DAV connector including the one that's built in to Dreamweaver 8. No write access, but since it's a DAV plugin as far as Apache is concerned it implements the DAV protocol for interaction. It means that you can at least download the current version of the repo without using an SVN client.   It'd also enable bug reports with bug numbers, repo version associated with bug fixes, repo browsing via HTTP, and a homepage/wiki/blog to boot. If it's available I can only recommend you take advantage of it.   That would be my suggestion. :)   Laterz, J   ------------------------------------------------ Jared C.

Any suggestions, tutorial that will assist me would be greatly appreciated.   Is there a way to change the port that is used for TortoiseSVN?   Thanks all Chris Nope. As Doug said, he uses the Subversion daemon which use port 3690. This is why I advocate using Subversion with the dav module in Apache because all your requests are over http and port 80 instead of the svn:// protocol. You could also use svn+ssh if you have ssh infrastructure in place, but this causes a bit of a problem for Windows users since Windows does not ship with an ssh client (BTW, Putty is an excellent choice if you are in need of a ssh client for Windows and it integrates with TortoiseSVN as well). Anyways, svn+ssh requires a few extra bits of configuration and isn't a great solution for anon repository access (like here with Reactor). In the end, if you want a robust solution (such as integration with LDAP, Windows domain or plain old basic http authentication/authorization) -- Apache + Subversion is the way to go. Also, you won't have to open up as many ports on your firewall if you run Apache on a standard port (something your net admin would probably will thank you for).   The only thing I can think of is to use a proxy server which can be setup in the Tortoise settings (right-click -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> click on Network in the left column).   Doug, you might consider running the svn daemon on an alternate http port like 8080, 81, or 8090. However, then you have to make sure that people access the repo with that port. Invoke that option by using the the --listen-port= option when running the daemon (the daemon defaults to 3690 without it). Although the changes are slim that some firewall may block those options as well.   Ok, I'm done evangelizing Subversion.   Best, .Peter   -- Peter J.
