ViewCVS to replace WebSVN

WebSVN was simply not efficient enough. It lacked a lot of features and such, so ViewCVS was the solution. The development version has native support for Subversion, so I spent a couple of minutes setting it up. Seems to work out fine.

You can access the repositories through URLs like: http://lillesvin.net/viewvc/dyndnsupdate, unfortunately I can’t seem to get the repository indexer to work at the moment, so the world will just have to know what it wants and put it after /viewcvs/ in the URL.

I wrote a little HowTo on setting up ViewCVS with Subversion support, you can find it in the Brainstorm sektion (NOTE: link removed), which I’ve setup for things such as this. :) (Go directly to the HowTo: http://lillesvin.linux.dk:8080/brainstorm/SetupViewcvsAndSubversion.html (NOTE: Wiki taken down.).)

Furthermore, all subversion repositories are now running through Apache2/WebDAV, so to make a checkout of e.g. dyndnsupdate you’ll should use:
svn co http://lillesvin.linux.dk:8080/svn/dyndnsupdate dyndnsupdate

Top 3 things to do at the moment:

Btw, I’ve gotten a Skype account! So, mail me, if you want to contact me through Skype.
