At work we have just migrated our CVS machine to SVN for all source
code. With the upcoming release of 1.2 (and locking of files) I've been
putting forward the motion of moving all the assets we have in our
projects onto SVN too (rather than using our own in house solution to
asset version control).
However, one issues I cannot seem to resolve.... we have several out
source companies providing art assets for us. Each studio had several
people working for them, it would put extra load on our net connect if
they all were to be getting latest etc... would it be possible to have a
slave server, which is a mirror of the main server in our building for
them to get latest from (saving our bandwidth).
(excuse the diagram)
external clients ---- [ external slave ] ----- [ internal master]
---- internal clients
I've seen the perl svn::mirror bit over at the cpan, and that would seem
like a valid solution for code - but with locking assets, would there be
anyway to insure that the internal master had been contacted and an
asset locked if a client working on the external slave had locked an
asset. Basically, I would want to avoid the situation where the connect
between the master and the slave is lost, and someone internal and
someone external both lock and work on the same asset. Maybe the slave
wouldn't be allowed to lock assets if it couldn't contact the master?
I had a brief look at svk, but I don't believe this will support locking
assets.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
