Subversion (was Re: [Bf-committers] Help request build systemsfor Bullet 2.x upgrade)

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Here's some stats:

We currently have two dedicated servers, with bandwidth/rackspace fully  
sponsored by Dutch provider XS4all. I've asked them if we can expand to  
four servers a few weeks ago, replies from them go slow (and I am a bit  
too busy to hunt them... :).

The plan then is to get two new fast servers, and divide the  
webservices like this (tentative):

- OSX Xserve: download.blender.org + backup
- Dell server: projects.blender.org + cvs/svn + mailinglists
- New server 1: www.blender.org + shop
- New server 2: wiki.blender.org, orange.blender.org, forums, (public  
access stuff)

Currently the Dell server also has download.blender.org, which is the  
major slowdown bottleneck for cvs/projects stuff.

Matt and Bart are already working on a blender.org revamp (much better  
nagivation structure, new design). Marco (our sysadm) will do the  
installation/migration, including moving GForge for projects up to the  
latest level, and have svn there.

It's quite an operation, and - yes sorry - already waiting to be  
executed for over 6 months or so. There's just always something more  
urgent to work on :)

I'll try a planning to have this done before 2007 though. Will keep you  
informed!

-Ton-

(Note; I'm not very fond of migrating our coding projects to commercial  
services like Sourceforge or Google. There's serious downsides or risks  
involved with that, if we can manage this ourselves we should I think.)
