RE: [SAC] Subversion is 403 right now

I'd prefer to see a single OSGeo Infrastructure instance, shared by
WebCom, VisCom, SAC, Executive, etc. This will allow us to easily
interlink and collaborate on issues as required.

Is there a way of creating a field to say which committee the ticket
applies to, and then querying by that tag?

Are you actively making changes to the Trac architecture or restarting
it, etc? Or can we start to use an instance of it for WebCom, SAC
issues now?

my apologies...i had a rule to rewrite svn.osgeo.org to a 403 i had
tested to see if you could still svn.osgeo.org/svn/project but, i
guess i was really testing my browsers cache.

So consensus is virtual host for svn.osgeo.org?

trac is installed and i'm currently working on importing fdo and
mapguide bugs from cn into trac. this is taking a little longer than
i had hoped as the cn's bug/artifact tracker is quite different than
trac.

However, I think a better solution would be to make svn.osgeo.org

www.osgeo.org. This would have the desired results without
requiring any client-side changes.

If we have multiple sites that answer for the content at
www.osgeo.org, there's a strong possibility of being penalised by
the search engines. A large part of OSGeo's role is marketing, and
search engine ranking is important.

Understood. Another big part of OSGeo is actually writing the
software :wink:

Does SVN require an account on the server? If so, isn't it more
secure to require SSL?

SVN requires an LDAP account to be able to commit to the repository.
Ideally, we allow anonymous (http) checkout and read access and
authenticated (https) commit access. If you are a committer, you
should be working with an https repository. I think that CN just
always used https to eliminate the ambiguity. It isn't a problem to
switch between http and https if you are committer and can actually
read both repositories though.

+1 on a true virtual server for svn.osgeo.org

This would allow us to additionally drop the redundant /svn path on
everything...
http://svn.osgeo.org/svn/gdal could just turn into
http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal

I don't know where we're at with Trac, but was the intention to use
virtual servers there too? Shawn?

Sounds good to me... I know I need to use something that ties all my tasks together too. I'm curious to see how far I could use this for tracking my own work.

Jason,

I concur. I think a single "foundation level" Trac instance should be
just fine - in fact substantially better than balkanization.

Best regards,
