[CentOS] Subversion server: v1.4 (centos) vs. v1.6 (rpmforge)
Hi, I'm planning to upgrade an old public/internal development infrastructure and will use CentOS 5.4 x86_64 as basis. One of the critical server is Subversion (as an Apache httpd module). We currently use Subversion v1.4 on the server and v1.6 on our clients. While I was very happy with the v1.4 server over the years, we now sometimes have weird issues which seem related to compatibility with the v1.6 clients (typically working copy depth related). I also want to take the chance of this major overhaul of our infrastructure (and related testing etc.) to upgrade the various components and I'll be happy to benefit from Subversion improvements on the server side as well (especially if it then the version in production for another few years). The Subversion version in CentOS 5.4 is v1.4, whereas RPMForge provides v1.6. I use the RPMForge version as my client on the desktop. - Has anyone of you experience running Subversion servers on CentOS? - Would you in general consider as less secure / safe / stable to use RPMForge packages for such critical tasks? Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Mathieu

We did a svn dump/load cycle to move from the 1.4 server to the 1.6 server. And kept the 1.4 dump files for posterity.> - Would you in general consider as less secure / safe / stable to use > RPMForge packages for such critical tasks?Nope. Works fine. Between the nightly hot-copy backups and the internal design of the SVN FSFS storage engine, I'm not terribly worried. (We took advantage of repository sharding in 1.6, which is why we did a svn dump/load method. If we didn't need sharding, we probably could've just copied the directory tree across from the 1.4 to the 1.6 server.)
