[translate-pootle] Pootle and Version Control
Hi Folks 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. 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. I am working on a small VM which can host a small amount of language (having Pootle footprint in mind). 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 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.

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.

True, or look at my tentative Fedora RPMs where I've added startup scripts: http://translate.sourceforge.net/releases/testing/fedora/ > > Does someone has recommendations for the choice of a version control system? > > If it were to me, I would use subversion.
