Christian, I moved the discussion of how i wanted to use review board to a new topic, seems more appropriate.
As for the windows install after a load of effort (and some swearing at the computer) i've got it all working, having SVN on https didn't help but i've sorted that out as well. The main reason i point this out is as great of a tool as review board is, i'd hate to see no-one use it cause the install process is too hard. Thanks for the assistance so far, glad to get it up an running :) Chris On May 9, 11:08 am, tom <[email protected]> wrote: > >Plus we're really Linux guys and most of our users are installing on Linux > > On a related note, I thought I'd mention the problems I had installing > with CentOS. > > It comes with python 2.4, and the untar features are unavailable (2.5 > and above apparently), so I had to manually work out some of the > processes for a not so easy 'easy_install'. > > I managed to install it in the end (though no memcache related things > available with the yum package database for CentOS).
