Re: subversion and ClearCase
I am planning to test subversion with ClearCase.( I
know ClearCase , I am testing subversion first time)
My questions :
1. Both Subversion and ClearCase can run from same
server ?
2. How chatty is Subversion ?
3. How much memory require to for both to exist on
same server ( Unix Solaris 200 users )?
4. How to configure the Subversion using SAN/NAS
storage ?
My task is to install Subversion on Same machine
having ClearCase VOB server.
Thanks in advance and appreciate the reply
Jay

Sure. Subversion either runs on port 80 when exposed
as a WebDAV server, port 3690 when running "svnserve"
or port 22 when accessed via ssh. Choose one that
doesn't conflict.
Subversion doesn't require installation in any
particular place, so you shouldn't have too many
conflicts on the filesystem either.

Compared to Clearcase? Not at all. Subversion only
compares to clearcase when you're using snapshot views,
Subversion doesn't really have a dynamic view equivalent.
In addition, Subversion only sends deltas (differences)
over the wire for commit and update operations.
Many operations can be done locally without contacting
the server at all.

Subversion memory requirements are not high, but I
don't believe anyone has really done any measurements
yet. It seems to be mostly affected by operating system
caching ability (so, as usual, the more memory, the
faster it'll be).

If you use the "fsfs" backend, you can store a Subversion
repository database on a remote volume just fine, so long
as it supports POSIX locking.
If you're on a Unix-style machine, just make sure it's
mounted somewhere and that's it, nothing special.

Naturally, I assume you realise that Clearcase load
will affect Subversions performance?
Make sure you read over http://www.svnbook.org/
