"mostly-binary" repositories, conclusion

[Timothee Besset <ti...@qeradiant.com>]

Ok .. thanks for all the feedback. As a conclusion, the main question I'd
like to ask: do you think there is an interest for me to setup an
experimental SVN server and maintain our binary repository there?

I can see several issues:

- SVN client. Precompiled binaries would be good .. maybe not unix ones,
but win32 and OSX. Command line should be good enough.

- Setup and maintenance of a server. The docs seem fairly complete about
that.

Is it really gonna make any difference with a CVS-hosted repository? (I
guess I need to setup a server and see by myself).

regards

TTimo

I'd wait a little bit longer.  At this exact moment, our network layer
is in fact *not* always sending diffs in both directions, even though
it's theoretically possible.  It's an optimization that will be added
soon.  Before you start using a repository of huge binary files, I'd
wait for this optimization.  :-)

There's benefit for us, but not for you. :-)

We'll get valuable debugging information.  You'll get to... well,
you'll get to send in valuable debugging information :-).  I highly
doubt that your users would benefit until later this fall, though.
It's not ready for production use, except on itself.
