Ian,
I split up the main repository on w4py.org into three repositories:
Home Webware WSGIKit
We can keep one big "global" database, but then user's can't be authenticated against specific relms, and very few need access to Home. The password file for all three is /etc/subversion/passwd. Is this correct?
No, /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd.
Authentication can be done on a per-URL basis, using normal Apache mechanisms, like
<Location /Home>
<LimitExcept GET HEAD>
require group home_editors
</LimitExcept>
</Location>Or something close to that. For the most part I don't see any reason to keep the repositories separate. And I don't really care about the access that much -- for instance, if someone edits Home they still need someone with shell access to svn up the live site. And we're getting emails for updates, so things can't slip in accidentally.
Both Webware and WSGIKit can be viewed online now:
http://svn.webwareforpython.org/WSGIKit/trunk/ http://svn.webwareforpython.org/Webware/trunk/
Incidentally, is there no way to pull a branch off of a SVN repository without loosing the history? I couldn't figure out how. The history is all there from the CVS import.
I haven't been able to find anything; you can take an entire tree and import it someplace into a repository using svndump or something like it, but you can't take a subtree and split it into another repository.
You can copy between repositories, but you can't commit the copy. It's kind of a tease -- though maybe they intend for you to be able to copy between two workind checkouts of the same repository. Anyway, it seems weird, but I couldn't find any way to do it when I moved the WSGIKit repository.
