Releasing an open source subversion client
Hi Subversion,
I'm Rajith Chathunga from university of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. My team is
developing an open source Subversion client as our internship project. It
will be a great help that you can provide us some directions to release it.
What is the procedure that we should follow to release it?
Thank you.

Best Regards,
Chathunga.

You might see if you can get it up at Apache, since Subversion itself
is now there. . Sourceforge is less picky and easily supports
Subversion access for users and authors.
But, why, exactly, is your team writing a new client? Would the effort
be better spent on the core Subversion tools themselves, or enhancing
one of the IDE's that support subversion?

More good advice is in the book Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel, one of the Subversion developers. You can read it for free online, or order a print copy:

Perhaps this is a class project and there are instructor
restrictions/requirements that have not been indicated here.

perhaps they are writing a new java client under a more friendly license
than svnkit... otherwise yeah i agree that it smells like a complete waste

If you are going to put a whole team of devs to work on svn why not work with the current svn team to identify a feature for the current 1.7 client to implement. There is tons of stuff on the 1.7 list that got pushed off to 1.8. Or work with the TortoiseSVN team to add a feature to that product if you are working in windows.
I just don't see why you want to create YASC.

Hi Subversion,
As you suggested, we have hosted the source code in Google Code. It will be
great if you can take a look at it and give your suggestions/feedback.
Here is the checkout link : http://visiosvn.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
Thank you.

My two cents: Adding the functionality that you describe to
TortoiseSVN's "SVN Revision Graph" would be interesting, from my point
of view. In addition (though I think this is in your intentions with
this project), being able to see the paths of all merge operations would
be awesome. With large projects, this could end up looking like a plate
of noodles, but that in itself is useful if only to communicate
complexity. After being able to visualize everything, making the
graphic right-clickable to have a menu of svn operations available would
help pull some of those stalwart colleagues who refuse to deal with
subversion repositories beyond what is clickable with their mice.

A lot of client are able to show a revision graph, view a repository
online as files and folders etc., TortoiseSVN for example just seem to
lack the search functions. But there are also web applications for
this purpose with full text index and all that stuff.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies. Sorry for the previous less detailed
email. Actually we are implementing this software only for the visualization
of a subversion repository. I think there is no way to visualize a
repository in a graphical view with existing software.I'm sending a document
which describes the functions of our project, with this email. And we will
upload the source code on a public server in few days and announce the URL
here. your comments are really valuable to us.
Thanks you very much.
