We have an old subversion /version 1.4.3 (r23084) /running on Solaris.
We would like to upgrade to use new hardware on Linux based OS (CentOS
6.9), possibly version 1.8.x or 1.9.x
Our plan is to installed and configure the latest SVN on CentOS 6.9.
Then go through dump and load of the repository as described in
various online post and documentations. The repository is quite
large…guessing the size to be in the order of 20-40GB
Before we start undertaking such tasks
1.Does anyone know if there are there any problem/gotcha in migrating
the repository?
2.Does anyone know how long it would take to export the repository of
this size? This will give us an estimate how long to schedule down
time and cut off time.
Thanks for any insight.
I recommend CentOS 7.x; CentOS 6.x is nearing the end of its support
lifetime. I also installed an SSD on my new machine - much faster than
rotating media, and Subversion's "write once" philosophy (old revisions
are essentially immutable) works well on an SSD.
