Advice for subversion web front-ends

Hello all

Can people suggest subversion web front-ends?
I used to use WebSVN but currently I'm having some problems with it.
I also heard that current cvs version of ViewCVS also supports Subversion
What others are available?

TIA
Gustavo Guerra

Hmm, couldn't figure it yet. Anyways, this is list-OT.

Nope, there is none :(

Yes, basically, i just need a plain webfrontend. But the trac offers a 
Wiki as well, which could help a lot doing the docs in one and the same 
place...

I will, thanks for the patience :)

I'm no pythonista either, and I did install Trac on Windows quite easily.
Installing Python and Python modules in a GNU/Linux environment should
be, if anything, easier than it is on Windows...

Seems like you're building the modules from scratch. Perhaps you can
find (Py)SQLite binaries for Slackware; that would be sensible if you
know little about Python.

Yes, ViewCVS' installation works like a charm (at least on Windows).
But, really, *once* you've installed the prerequisites, Trac's
installation is as simple as:

  python ./setup.py install
  
OTOH, ViewCVS and Trac do offer quite different things.

You need to install the Subversion Python bindings (not PySVN, but the
ones that come with Subversion), and set up PYTHONPATH so it points to
the bindings dir.

Well, Slackware's a hackers distro, or that's what I've always been told.
You want it easy, you've got RedHat ;-)

You could try on the Trac list.

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u

Hi Juanma.

Thank you for your message.

Yes, i noticed :) It is so timetaking to set it up. Sorry, but i am
working on a server with Slackware and all the installing is a pain.
Python is running, but installing a module is a suffer of it's own (For
a beginner to Python as me).

I finally quit when it returned a:
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Setting up Horde is also a bit of a bit thing. The only that seemed
quite simple was the viewCVS, allthough one has to read carefully and
download a Version > 1, since the older ones wont work with Subversion.
Anyways. I got it from CVS on sf.net and the world seemed ok.

Until another error occured:
ImportError: No module named svn

Argh, looking for a further source... I quit there.

I haven't tried svnview, though it seems also rather simple. Maybe I'll
try...

Sorry about claiming. But setting up a webinterface is just not always
that simple. On a Gentoo-Box, i got viewcvs work with an emerge-command.

Anyways, i'd love to have trac installed. So if anyone's got a hint,
please let me know.

Greetings,
Alain

Well, yes, of course.  The very second paragraph of
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracInstall lists the
prerrequisites, SQLite and PySQLite among them...

I tried that one, it failed on me:

#trac-admin /home/svn/public_html initenv
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/trac-admin", line 30, in ?
     import sqlite
ImportError: No module named sqlite
#

There is also the Horde-CVS:

http://www.horde.org/chora/

Looks beautiful, too...

Yes, if you're talking about the current _development_ version, not
release.

Trac (http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/) is a issue/bug-tracking system
with integrated Subversion support and a Wiki. Easy to set up (even on
Windows), nice-looking and very customizable. Its greatest limitation
right now is that it is geared towards a model of "one SVN repository" =
"one development project". You can bend it to do multiple projects, but
each one is a separate entity. Other than that, it is great. You can
browse source from inside it, make cross-links between changesets,
commit logs, issues and wiki pages, and even (with some contributed
scripts) close issues from a Subversion hook script.
