Gitlab is looking for alternatives on Juju, the latest Open Source product from Ubuntu

[Maarten Ectors <ma...@canonical.com>]

Ubuntu launched Juju <http://juju.ubuntu.com> earlier this year. Juju
allows anybody to instantly deploy, integrate and scale any server software
on any cloud or server. In seconds you can deploy
Gitlab<https://jujucharms.com/fullscreen/search/precise/gitlab-2/?text=gitlab#bws-readme>.
However we are missing instant deployment and integration of subversion.
Since Juju is open source, anybody can extend it and use it. If somebody in
the Subversion community would make a "subversion charm", then anybody in
the world would be able to instantly deploy subversion and get it
integrated into a continuous deployment architecture for instance. Find out
more about how easy it is to make a
charm<https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/authors-charm-writing.html>.
You could even win $10,000 if you participate in the Juju Charm
Championship<https://juju.ubuntu.com/charm-championship/>in the
category Continuous Deployment for instance...

If you've got a competent apt builder, why not simply work from the
existing apt or the published RPM packages that set up a template
environment? Or have a word with our commercial Subversion providers, some
of whom have tools like Wandisco's tools for multily hosted, high
availablility Subversion?
