TruBD Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 So Im starting to learn redhat enterprise 5, just purchased it and installed it. the machine will be running a local version of our company website for development process. i wanted to know if there was any GUI apps for SVN, i liked how TortoiseSVN was available for Windows. Is there any good ones that are upto date for Linux? also I plan on running a virtual box of Windows, do you guys think that the virtual machine that comes with Red Hat is great or should I look at 3rd party apps? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeg Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 RapidSVN is reasonably nice, I believe it works on unix. What's the virtualization tool that comes with Red Hat, I've not used RH in a fair while? VirtualBox is a nice virtual machine for unix. Both of the above are free.

markwolfe Veteran Posted February 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm not familiar with SVN, but a quick google shows me this as one of the hits: http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/ I do question why you bought Red Hat. There are free clones (stripped of Trademarks, like the Red Hat name and logos). You can run "genuine" Red Hat by downloading the sources and compiling (which is primarily what CentOS and WhiteBox clones have done for you, they just cannot legally re-distribute it with the RH logos or name). I guess if it is company budget, it isn't a huge deal. I do believe that you get phone/email support with your purchase, and that may come in handy, too. I'm not familiar with whatever virtualization comes with RHEL. You might contact Red Hat for information regarding running Windows virtually. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, I constantly hear VMWare thrown around as a top end solution. Hope this helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our webservers run on RedHat Ent Server so I wanted to have an identical system for a dev machine locally. I looked at RapidSVN, but it seems that it is outdated. Hasn't been updated since Mid of 2006. i saw another eSVN, but same situation. I will take a look at both VMWare and VirtualBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted February 7, 2008 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2008 I use / used RapidSVN on my Debian machine and it worked well for my needs. Very simple to use and administer with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Subversion has only been bugfixed since the latest release of RapidSVN. You can build RapidSVN against the latest version of subversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
