Review Board?
Missing web-based visual-diff code reviews, I've been paying around with
Review Board http://www.review-board.org/
It's pretty cool stuff. I have it running on my machine, but now would love
to have a public instance running against shindig's svn. Does anyone have
experience/ideas about getting a machine to run this on?
It depends on various python libraries being installed in root-owned
directories (roughly), so a machine where I can get root access without
being an unreasonable security risk is preferable.
Cheers, and thanks,
-Dan

Apache does have some Solaris boxes that run Zones, but really they
aren't for this kind of thing.
We've recently set up a mailing list, infrastructure-dev@apache.org,
which is for discussing changes to Apache's infrastructure. If you want
to pursue this on Apache's infrastructure, I'd suggest you go over there
to discuss it. Having said that, having a demo to show over there of it
running on one of your own boxes would certainly help any discussion.

Perhaps not root access. Though python packages want to live in
site-packages, I'm sure I could futz with pythonpath. I more just wondered
if there were servers through apache that I could run this on instead of
setting up my own hosting account just for this.

I mostly use the git tools for code inspection. It works offline, it is
fast and free software.
http://github.com/sgala/apache-incubator-shindig/commits/master/ is a
copy of my repository. github can do visual diffs, see for instance
http://github.com/sgala/apache-incubator-shindig/commit/3b94aa96495264a4b4aa48a4ed927642d263f754
Apart from my "pending" cue of experiments or branches it should track
the current svn. And once cloned it is fairly easy to keep update both
from my clone or directly from subversion. While git-svn initial imports
are a bit stressful on the server,
It does not have the "social" component, but it works for me.

I'm taking a look into the code. It is django and python, so it doesn't
look difficult to set up.

What are you trying to get? Any decent hosted site will offer you
python, with or without mod_fastcgi, mod_python or mod_wsgi, and the
ability to install the dependencies in your home. I don't think there is
any real need of root access, just CPU and bandwidth if it becomes
popular.

Yeah, it just needs an svn server to point to. Then you upload diffs to the
review board server, and you get web-based reviews.
Check out http://demo.review-board.org or
http://reviews.review-board.org/ . The latter is their dogfood instance.

Sorry, I was not being clear. :/ This is OT for Shindig. Was just
wondering about code.google.com projects.
Thanks.

It's certainly possible to run one against code.google.com, but why when the
code is on apache's svn?

Is there a chance of running one against code.google.com?

Good question: Nope. There's a lot of optimizations you can apparently
apply, so at some point memcached might be worth setting up. But for now I
just need a machine that doesn't even need mysql (it can use sqlite).

Does it have to be on the same machine as the SVN repository? If not, I'm
sure we can find some one or some organization to donate something.
