I currently have hardware for an anon cvs/svn server, just no time to |
| 29 |
implement currently. I was hoping to get to this in the next few months |
| 30 |
time permitting of course. I do not want anon cvs/svn on our live server |
| 31 |
at all. Any implementation of such service will need to be on separate |
| 32 |
dedicated boxes. I haven't worked out the details for 'live' data, but |
| 33 |
the possibilities are there I believe for part of it. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
We already have a viewcvs site that updates every 30 minutes (or maybe |
| 36 |
an hour, I don't quite remember) that's in testing currently. Check out |
| 37 |
viewcvstest.g.o if you're curious. To me the cvs/svn server should only |
| 38 |
be doing that, nothing more. For now, i think the dedicated rsync server |
| 39 |
is the best route that will accomplish the needs of the ATs. (which I |
| 40 |
have a server for also). Until we get an official anon cvs/svn service |
| 41 |
implemented, this is the best infra can do. |
