Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Is there any way to get a web-based window into svn.drupal.org (such as viewvc or websvn)?
This will allow the redesign implementers (and others using svn) to be able to refer and link directly to revisions in issue queues and irc. This would take lots of the hassle out of creating and uploading patches of things that have already been committed into people's sandboxes.

rfayMoving to SVN, as it would be a general svn improvement.

nnewton commentedWe actually used to have this. The problem is that how we have viewvc setup to be able to pull OS upgrades is very much built around the idea of having a single viewvc config file. This won't work for this case, as having d.o svn tied into cvs.drupal.org's viewvc is not something I'm willing to do. I used to get around this with a symlink nightmare, but almost nobody used it.
I can look into this again, but I'm not convinced it would have a high enough usage. This is oddly several hours worth of work and has screwed things up in the past. It should be simple, but...I blame CentOS.

rfayThere are hacky short-term one-off solutions to this. Like if the svn repository is available by rsync like the cvs repos is, the websvn could be put on any old server. I have one I can put it on.

Amazon commentedWe still want to ViewSVN to have the same access control as SVN.
Randy if you can set it up on stagingvm, go for it.

rfayI can't do it without access to the svn repository.
Is is possible to get rsync access to the svn repository like we have to the cvs repository?

drummNo more SVN.
