Re: Local sites, private groups, or multiple review board instances?
Thanks for the insight Chris. I really appreciate your work and responsiveness. --Steve On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 4:07:18 PM UTC-7, Christian Hammond wrote: Hi Steve, Local sites aren't something that are deeply exposed.

Local sites, private groups, or multiple review board instances?
We currently have 2 review board servers running 1.7.6 on 2 different CenotOS 6 hosts. We set up 2 servers way back in the 1.0 days to restrict visibility of some portions of our perforce repository.
