I am strongly considering extending the Oslo website to incorporate
a subversion service, instead of sourceforge. This is partly because
I am a control freak and like to know what is going on. But it is also
because I think the project belongs here in Oslo and there are at least
as many potential developers here as in the US.
I would like a couple of questions answered before diving headlong into it:
i) could one have a private master repository on host A and a mirror
for public access on host B (provided all commits are done on A).
I am worried about the security of subversion.
ii) is there an easy web interface for developers that does not require
significant web-programming to access.
iii) Will the system be intuitive for CVS users?
iv) there have been several SVN security patches recently. What
do I need to be concerned about?
