Dreamhost Now Providing One-Click Subversion Support

Posted on by

My web hosting provider DreamHost has added Subversion to its list of software available through its one click installations. The service provides Subversion running under Apache.

If your looking for a Subversion provider, DreamHost might be it for you. Their prices are pretty reasonable. I’ve been with them since 2001 and have no complaints whatsoever. Excellent service and you can admin things quite easily through their control panel.

If you want to check them out, hit the DreamHost link on the right to tell them I sent you. 😉

Sourceforge (Finally) Putting Together Beta Service Offering for Subversion?

Posted on by

From the SourceForge Recent Enhancements section:

As of 2005-11, SourceForge.net staff are actively working to prepare a beta service offering related to the Subversion SCM. This offering will be provided in addition to our existing CVS service; there are no plans to discontinue CVS service. Pre-requisite analysis work has been initiated and hardware has been ordered.

This message was also posted to the Subversion mailing list:

From SourceForge’s site update note:

> As we enter a new calendar year, our focus remains on further
> improving the quality of our service. To that end, I am pleased to
> announce that SourceForge.net will offer Subversion in early January
> 2006, initially as a beta program available to approximately 50
> projects. Then, if the Subversion beta period proceeds as smoothly as
> we expect, we will deploy Subversion site wide by March, 2006.

So lets keep our eyes out for this one …

Core Subversion Developer Moves To Google

Posted on by

Ben Collins-Sussman, a core Subversion team member, announced yesterday that he will be leaving CollabNet and moving on to new opportunities, apparently at Google.

Ben was one of the first members of the Subversion team, along with Karl Fogel and Jim Blandy.

I’d like to wish Ben good luck in his new opportunity and give him a personal thanks for the work he’s done to bring the Subversion product to the point it is today. The product and community would not be where it they are today without his work — both in the code itself and the work he did in the community providing support (and even an occasional Python script) to help us out during our Subversion implemention.

Good luck Ben and thanks for all of your contributions to a great product!

By the way, you can also read the announcement on Bens weblog.
