Re: Subversion 1.5 - Where is i5/OS support?

Why not? That is, what's stopping you from compiling SVN from source and

putting the result up on Sourceforge as a save file?

I can try it, but it is lower on my priority list as of right now.

Of course I would have to get them to use WDSC first. It's somewhat

painful trying to use SVN in a QSYS.LIB environment.

My port of SVNClient to i5/OS is meant to address this exact point because
you shouldn't need client software to backup source on the server to an SVN
repository. You can check out my open source port here:
http://mowyourlawn.com/SystemiSVN.html. Note there is still work to be done
on this project to make it incredibly simple to back up your code to SVN, so
right now it takes a little SVN command syntax knowledge to pull all the
pieces together.

the same thing 'stopping' the rest of us. No time to hand-hold people
who want to get started but who have no experience with source control
software.

I am curious to know how many people are using their i as a Subversion

host?

I do, but it's just for me. No one else on my team is using it. No
time to explain it to them :-( Of course I would have to get them to
