Hi, Pauline, Von: Mandava, Pauline [mailto:pauline.mand...@savvis.com]
> Please may you advise on the following with regards to Subversion:- > 1. Is the application supported on a VMware Virtualised Platform? Whether it is supported depends on which support contract you signed with one of the companies offering commercial support for Subversion. But all subversion clients and servers I know of run on their respective supported operating systems, regardless of whether those operating systems are running on the plain hardware, or in a virtualized environment. > 2. Is the application supported on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server > 2008 R2? It seems that you did not even the most basic research yourself about subversion before asking here on the list... :-( See http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#portability for the official list of supported platforms, as well as http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html for a list of sources for precompiled binaries for most supported platforms, it may run on others when you compile it yourself. > 3. If the application is Web Based (IIS 6.0 or earlier) does it run on > Windows Server 2008 R2 IIS7 or compatibility mode IIS6 on Windows Server 2008? What exactly do you mean with "web based"? There are several web-based clients, tools and add-ons for subversion, but most of them which I had seen up to now use PHP, based on Apache web server and not on IIS. The subversion clients I know of (command line, SubClipse, Subversive, TortoiseSVN, CoDeSys and AnkhSVN) are not web based. The subversion server "svnserve" is not web based. The subversion server "mod_svn" is web based, but not based on IIS - it uses Apache, which should run on Windows Server 2008 to my knowledge. There may exist IIS based subversion servers I do not know of. > 4. If the application is running on Unix (Solaris 10), does it run on > the newer versions of Solaris OS? - Does it support Solaris Containers for > virtualisation? Again: See http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#portability for the official list of supported platforms, as well as http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html for a list of sources for precompiled binaries for most supported platforms, it may run on others when you compile it yourself. > 5. If any application is dependant on the USB Dongle for the license > model, is it possible to move away from this method? > 6. If not then, if the USB dongle can support any USB over IP? Subversion itsself is free software, so no dongle needed. If you use any subversion distribution, add-on or subversion based software by a 3rd party which requires a dongle (I know of at least one), you should contact the vendor of that software.
