Evaluating SVN software
Hi
I am trying to evaluate SVN source control software package for our
internal use.
We are running file server on windows 2000 SP4
Based on FAQ, It seems like SVN can not host the repository on Windows
2000 server.
Please advise
Thanks

How about evaluating it yourself? (instead of filling my mailbox with
the same quote over and over....)
After all, you're the only one to determine if it fits you. All
companies big and small do that.

You can keep quoting it to me all you want, it doesn't change the fact
that nowhere in that sentence does it say a damn thing about windows
2000.

Windows 2000 is based on NT, not on Win9x. This doesn't apply to you.

You don't want to use Berkley if you don't have to. Use FSFS (pronounced
fuzz-fuzz). FSFS is default on 1.3.x for all repository creation.

The Subversion server (i.e., the repository side) is the same, except
that it will not host
a Berkeley DB repository on Win9x platforms (Win95/Win98/WinME), because
Berkeley DB has shared-memory segment problems on Win9x.

Nothing in that says it doesn't work on windows 2000... You can find
instructions for setting up a repository in the documentation, it's just
the same as running on any other version of windows...

It works perfectly fine. I host SVN repositories on both Windows 2000
and XP Pro, both served via Apache 2.0.55 (which also works perfectly
fine on these OSes).

Hi
I am trying to evaluate SVN source control software package for our
internal use.
We are running file server on windows 2000 SP4
Based on FAQ, It seems like SVN can not host the repository on Windows
2000 server.
Please advise
