Hi, I hereby would like to propose that we move the HTTP Server project codebase to the Subversion repository at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/.
Subversion had a 1.0 release februari 23rd (followed by a 1.0.1 release yesterday). Binaries are available for various platforms. Given that it is built on top of APR, it shouldn't be a problem to build it on the platforms where no binaries are available yet. Subversion itself has been self hosting without problems for a few years now. There is overlap between the APR and Subversion developers, and also between the HTTP Server and Subversion developers*, so we should be able to help eachother out if we come across any issues. Furthermore, Subversion implements a module (mod_dav_svn) to leverage Apache for (one of) its remote access layer(s). And another one to do authorization (mod_authz_svn). So there is more of consuming our own dogfood right there :). A couple of projects have already gone before us, and there have been no complaints (quite the opposite :). The Commons TLP, and the SpamAssassin project (incubator), have been using Subversion for months, amongst others. You can browse through history here: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs/?root=Apache-SVN Speaking of history, the full history will be preserved. Then there is also the fine Subversion book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ To play around with subversion a bit, we have a scratch repository at: https://svn.apache.org/repos/test. First, log in via ssh, and run 'svnpasswd' to set your subversion password. Now you're ready to start messing about. Create a personal area: $ svn mkdir https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/<userid> < you'll get a passwd prompt, your username is your asf userid > Check out a working copy of your area: $ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/<userid> my_working_copy Experiment! We'll make a converted httpd source tree available shortly at https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/httpd, so you can try Subversion on some real, familiar, data. I've proposed the same on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list with respect to the APR project. It would be convenient, although not nessecary, if both projects decided to move at the same time. Sander *) That one was so easy I couldn't resist ;)
