I'd like to request that ViewVC (http://www.viewvc.org) be set up for accessing the subversion server (svn.mozilla.org). Currently, there's no easy way to see the history of files and their changes, which can be a large hindrance in development. Also, ViewVC supports a Bonsai-like query interface, so it should work just like Bonsai has for cvs (it uses a hook script to add commits to the mysql database). Having ViewVC would be a great asset to the subversion server. I just set up ViewVC on another server, so I'm pretty familiar with it. If you have questions, feel free to ask. :) Thanks in advance!

Justin, approval? I wouldn't mind setting this up, but I'm not sure what are future plans our for tools like this.

OSAF has bonsai working with SVN already, but I don't know how close they are to landing it upstream (I keep prodding them). It'd be nice to keep all that stuff in one place. I'd dare say that's not a requirement, it'd just be convenient. :)

We aren't adding any additional functionality right now to SVN - part of the deal with moving the site over to SVN - moving to projects and lowering severity.

Moving back to Server Operations, as Subversion is now supported as a production service (according to mconnor's recent discussion with Justin). We need this to continue to use Subversion, especially as some new projects are added that will require it.

Justin, approval? Also, which tool are we going to use and who should be in on the debate?

OK by me. I'd like to get consensus from internal and external sources before implementing a tool though. This is still a project, so moving back to projects.

We've talked about a few replacements for LXR/Bonsai and unless there's a good reason to use multiple I'd like us to try and settle on one. A few people have taken a look at OpenGrok and felt that in met the needs we had and was scalable. Should we start a brief wiki page documenting requirements for browsing/searching source control and pick a tool that we can use for all the systems? This shouldn't take very long...

This shouldn't take very long... We should pick a new VCS for Mozilla 2. OpenGrok supports Mercurial but not Bazaar, for example.

I filed this bug to get a web tool for Subversion, as that's what the mozilla.com site uses. I really would not care for this bug to be hijacked for picking a webtool for the new VCS that hasn't even been chosen yet. Getting a working tool for Subversion is an immediate need that should not dependent on the new VCS.

Then your best bet is ViewVC - it's easy to install, uses a database that is the same as bonsai's in structure (and only differs in content in small ways) and is pretty good at giving you the info most likely needed. Once the VCS tool has been selected the issue can be raised again.

Moz2 is leaning towards Mercurial as an immediate solution due to Bz performance issues. Having said that OpenGrok doesn't do exactly the same kind of historical queries as bonsai/ViewVC. So - Justin/jeremy let's just get a ViewVC instance setup reporting on svn.mozilla.org.

Is there a configuration option or addon we're missing to enable RSS feeds? (for example, the feeds here: http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/ )

(In reply to comment #16) > Is there a configuration option or addon we're missing to enable RSS feeds? > (for example, the feeds here: http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/ ) RSS feeds depend on the querying interface being enabled. See bug 370850.
