svnserve and Apache serve same repos?

[John Thile <gi...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

It might be advantageous for me to have both of these serve the same
repos. I know that would be asking for trouble normally, but what if
only one of them has read-write users? The svnserve part would only be
one, read-only user, whereas the Apache side would serve to my usual
read-write users.

Would that work okay, or is it dangerous and/or impossible?

Thanks,

John

It's definitely possible to concurrently use multiple access methods,  
even when all of them have read/write access, provided you set it up  
correctly. Read the book for instructions.

I think there was an issue if (a) the repository is in BDB format and
(b) it's on a network share.  As long as you're not doing both of those
together then I think it's fine.

There is no danger in having more than one writer. You do need to make
sure the files are readable by the other party, that's all.

bye,

Erik.
