Onkar, We have a Review Board server that has reviews for 15 or so of our repositories (mostly Perforce, a couple SVN, and likely soon a couple Git servers once Git support makes it into a GA release). It works quite well for us, and there's really no need to go through the hassle of maintaining separate instances unless you have a fairly good reason.
The one issue we've run into is code access rights. Generally speaking if someone has access to the Review Board server they can read all of the code there. If your repositories don't have the same read permissions everywhere this may be a problem for you. If your divisions aren't too granular you might be able to resolve this by using a couple extra Review Board instances. We have one RB instance for reviews for one large group of contractors who only have access to a particular repository. Was there any particular reason you were worrying about the single instance strategy? -- Paul ________________________________________ From: reviewboard@googlegroups.com [reviewbo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Onkar [onkarshi...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 10:12 PM To: reviewboard Subject: What is best approach for setup with multiport, multiproject perforce repository We are evaluating the use of reviewboard for reviews on a multiport, multiproject perforce repository. For example consider following scenario. 1. There are two perforce servers running on different host:port combinations. 2. Each of these servers host codelines for 3 different projects. These codelines have a common root i.e. something like //depot/ project1, //depot/project2 etc. 3. Some developers are working on multiple projects. Which of the following looks like the ideal reviewboard setup for such scenario? 1. Different RB instance for each project. It may become maintenance overhead for RB admins. 2. Single instance of RB for all projects. Different repository per server. Differentiate between review requests with review groups or user groups. Has anyone done such a setup? Are there any tips/tricks? -- Want to help the Review Board project? Donate today at http://www.reviewboard.org/donate/ Happy user?
