Until recently, Pinax had two choices for a given external dependency:

1. use svn:externals and point to the external dependency's svn repository
2. include the external dependency code in the Pinax codebase

However, there are problems with this approach:

1. it largely relies on external dependencies being in svn and this is increasingly not the case (although it was when Pinax started)
2. it makes it difficult for Pinax itself to move away from svn
3. there is no management of dependencies between external dependencies, nor between particular projects in Pinax and their individual dependencies

To solve these problems and more, Pinax is switching to a distutils-based approach. This means:

1. externals dependencies are encouraged to be released as distutil-compliant packages with a valid setup.py and put on PyPI
2. development versions of dependencies can be pulled in in a variety of different ways including from git, hg or bzr repositories

svn:externals are evil

Xinc is a continuous integration server written in PHP 5. It has built-in support for Subversion and Phing (and therefore PHPUnit), and can be easily extended to work with alternative version control or build tools.

Organized developments with Drupal

This tutorial will show you how to setup Drupal as vendor branch in your subversion repository. This will allow you to apply changes that are made between versions without losing or overwriting contributed modules or patches that you may have made to your install of Drupal

Scott tells why you should switch to Git instead of any other version management system.

Soft subversion pour Mac

I've searched the web quite a bit for a good log analysis tool for Subversion and didn't find any good project. Since we use Subversion where I work I wanted to see who made most commits, who changed how many lines and get some nice looking graphs that would show progress in the project. Then I realised that svn --xml -v log returns XML, which is really easy to parse.

Another common Git workflow is where there is an integration manager—a single person who commits to the 'blessed' repository, and then a number of developers who clone from that repository, push to their own independent repositories and ask the integrator to pull in their changes. This is the type of development model you often see with open source or GitHub repositories.

If we have several agile development teams working on the same codebase, how do we minimize the risk of stumbling over each other? How do we ensure that there always is a clean, releasable version at the end of each iteration?

Subversion (SVN de son petit nom) est un outil de gestion de version concurrentes (et un concurrent à CVS... comprenne qui pourra ;D). Il permet d'historiser les différentes évolutions du code source d'un logiciel, ainsi que de gérer les éventuels conflits entre les modifications effectuées par plusieurs développeurs. Tout seul ou en équipe, un tel outil devient vite indispensable pour gérer les sources. USVN quand à lui est une interface Web d'administration de Subversion. Elle autorise l'administration des utilisateurs, groupes, et projets de votre dépôt sans avoir à utiliser un outil d'administration en ligne de commande. Ce guide vous aide à effectuer une installation complète de Subversion et USVN sur Debian 4.0 Etch Avant de vous lancer dans l'installation Ce guide est beaucoup moins générique que mes guides habituels. Avant de le suivre, vous devez définir 2 nom de domaines: * usvn.domaine.com (par exemple: usvn.landure.fr) : Le nom de domaine utilisé pour accéder à UserFriendly SVN. * svn.domaine.com (par exemple: svn.landure.fr) : Le nom de domaine utilisé pour accéder à votre dépôt subversion. Ceci est du au fait que ce guide n'installe pas USVN de la façon la plus simple. En effet, je trouve qu'il y a plusieurs failles dans l'installation de base de USVN, et j'essaye de les éviter dans ce guide.

ffmpeg is a versatile video tool used to encode and convert a multitude of video and audio formats. x264 is a library used to encode H264 video and creates excellent looking video usually superior to xvid and other popular codecs. x264 is used by Avidemux, GordianKnot, VLC Player, MEncoder, and Handbrake. Although ffmpeg and x264 are available in the Ubuntu repositories, you may need to compile from source. For example, the ffmpeg-user mailing list requires that you use the latest ffmpeg svn before asking for help. Since ffmpeg and x264 are updated frequently, you may also like to have the bleeding-edge for encoding videos. Also, ffmpeg in the Ubuntu repository may not support all of the codecs and formats that you may need
