Hi Urso,
I am currently working on a VMWare Virtual Machine (VM) for as a Pootle
Server. (I started last week a discussion/question about a ready made Pootle
server on Virtual Machine.
I am making a VM based on SuSE Linux.
I could imagine, that a debian based image could be easier to prepare due to
their scriptable bootstrapping tools (debootstrap, live-helper) and their quite
current pootle packages. But SuSE surely has something similar, I guess ...
Anyway: you do the work - so you decide :)
It is a great project - however it is done ...
Does someone has recommendations for the choice of a version control system?
If it were to me, I would use subversion. But I would like to know if there
are any pitfalls discovered in the combination Pootle/Subversion.?
Suggestions??
What about bazaar, cvs, git and others? I can remember that Sayamindu (if I
am correct) was working on a version control (issue) around Pootle... but I
am not sure if I understood well.
Right now there are no specific issues with the different supported version
control systems, as far as I know. So this should not influence your decisions.
If I understand you correcly, then you want to encourage people to try out
pootle in this a pre-installed package/image, to check if it suits their
needs. In this case I would definitely install all the version control
programs, that are available in SuSE. They do not interfere with each other -
so you don't loose anything.
Btw: with the indexing engine it is different: there you can only choose one of
xapian/pylucene. If I remember correctly, then the translate toolkit would
prefer xapian over pylucene, in case both are installed.
I am working on a small VM which can host a small amount of language (having
Pootle footprint in mind).
The footprint mainly depends on the size of projects - not so much on the
available languages. But this can reconfigured by the user later, anyway - so it
is no problem ...
If I succeed I will try to make this available somewhere on Internet.
The VM is 4GB big and I have been told that this size could be a problem at
SourceForge (for instance).
Suggestions??
I guess, you thought about compressing the image?
Did you create a list of the SuSE packages, that can be removed from the
pootle image?
Do you need X / KDE / Gnome?
I hope, this helped,
regards.
Lars
