Subversion is a "safe" choice, as everybody is familiar with it and it is well-supported. However consider arguments such as: http://keithp.com/blog/Repository_Formats_Matter.html As for a read-only web interface to subversion: trac is nice, intuitive and powerful. However I would not use it for read-write access. It is also limited for a single repository. One very intuitive, very simple and very limited interface is the one provided by subversion itself. Take a look at http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/ http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/ Its main atvantage is that it allows trivial downloads of files and quick browsings of the latest versions of every branch/tag. In the above example, it is a handy complement to http://svn.digium.com/view/ Digium uses viewcvs. People somehow seem to prefer websvn. See: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-apache . I find websvn more limited. viewcvs nd websvn were trivial to install from Debian. Trac took more work, but maybe it has improved. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend t ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
