svnserve on two ports? Two svnserves?

[John Abraham <ja...@ucalgary.ca>]

I have Subversion nicely humming along on one port (the default) for 
some users on one project, but I find that other users (on another 
project) can't connect to that port because of corporate firewall issues.

I'd like to keep the old clients on the regular subversion port, but 
experiment with having svnserve listen on another port (perhaps 81) for 
the poor clients who have to live behind a firewall with a 
non-cooperative IT department.

It doesn't look like there's a way to have svnserve listen on two 
ports.  Can I setup two instances of svnserve? 

If not, could I set up Apache to listen through different ports? Can I 
have apache and svnserve, each on different ports?

Ideally the one port would only go to one repository, and the other 
would only go to the other.

Also, is there any easy way to see if the port is blocked or whether the 
protocol (WebDAV, right?) is blocked?  Because if the protocol is 
blocked it's not much use trying out different ports.

I suppose an alternative is to run one on a completely separate machine, 
but that seems like a pain.

Thanks In Advance,

This is uninformed speculation, but: I suspect you can, as long as
they run with the same userID.  (My reasoning is: it's perfectly fine
for multiple processes to hit one repo when people are using file://,
so I can't see why multiple svnserve processes can't also hit it).

I think that's also done occasionally.  It's trickier, though, since
you'll have to arrange the permissions so that both apache _and_
svnserve have read and write access.

Oh, two separate repositories?  Then there's nothing to it; just do
it.
