Moving away from SVN

I will no longer be updating svn here at crudvision.com. I want to move Reve to git (at github). I won’t do it if I can fall back to svn, so I’m jumping ship.

Moving to github will also mean I can dump dreamhost as a host and move crudvision.com to my colocated machine to save money each month.

I’m sorry for the complete void in posting. I’ve been very busy with life, work and rock climbing. Yes, that’s right, rock climbing.

In early March I started a new job in Toronto for a gaming company (I’m not really allowed to talk about it much, unfortunately). I’m a sysadmin there and I love it. It’s much better than developing the same web applications over and over. I’m almost ready to resume programming for a hobby now that I don’t do it all day every day for pay.

And the rock climbing. My partner and I started climbing recently. We’ve noticed an unusual number of IT professionals that climb! It’s cool and odd at the same time.

I hope to post more, but the real goal of the post is to say that I’m ditching subversion, trac and intend to use github as the only source of documentation for Reve. (I just hope I can get traffic from github to this blog to pad my ego.)

On Subversion (and Planning)

Filed under: dreamhost, evedb.info, subversion — Lisa Seelye @ 00:10

Today I finally managed to migrate my Evedb.info SVN repository from an internal box (boron) to my repository at Dreamhost (Home to Reve, too). It is really simple to do: Just copy the local repository files from Subversion to the new repository base. This means the conf, dav, db, hooks and locks diretories.

The problem comes when one revision is copied (Call it revision 10) and is checked out to another machine (phosphorus), development is done, checked in (Dreamhost’s Revision 11) and stupidly, development is also done on the local copy (boron) and checked in (Local revision 11). And just like that the migration away from a local file:// type.

It’s a nightmare to sort but I’ve finally got it sorted and protected with an off-site source and SSH key file.

The moral is: Plan ahead, don’t be stupid, and never make commits when you’re really tired.
