Hi, Pauline,

Von: Mandava, Pauline [mailto:Pauline.Mandava_at_savvis.com]

> Please may you advise on the following with regards to Subversion:-

> 1.      Is the application supported on a VMware Virtualised Platform?

Whether it is supported depends on which support contract you signed with one of the companies offering commercial support for Subversion.

But all subversion clients and servers I know of run on their respective supported operating systems, regardless of whether those operating systems are running on the plain hardware, or in a virtualized environment.

> 2.      Is the application supported on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2?

It seems that you did not even the most basic research yourself about subversion before asking here on the list... :-(

See http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#portability for the official list of supported platforms, as well as http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html for a list of sources for precompiled binaries for most supported platforms, it may run on others when you compile it yourself.

> 3.      If the application is Web Based (IIS 6.0 or earlier) does it run on Windows Server 2008 R2 IIS7 or compatibility mode IIS6 on Windows Server 2008?

What exactly do you mean with "web based"?

There are several web-based clients, tools and add-ons for subversion, but most of them which I had seen up to now use PHP, based on Apache web server and not on IIS.

The subversion clients I know of (command line, SubClipse, Subversive, TortoiseSVN, CoDeSys and AnkhSVN) are not web based. The subversion server "svnserve" is not web based. The subversion server "mod_svn" is web based, but not based on IIS - it uses Apache, which should run on Windows Server 2008 to my knowledge.

There may exist IIS based subversion servers I do not know of.

> 4.      If the application is running on Unix (Solaris 10), does it run on the newer versions of Solaris OS? - Does it support Solaris Containers for virtualisation?

Again:
See http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#portability for the official list of supported platforms, as well as http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html for a list of sources for precompiled binaries for most supported platforms, it may run on others when you compile it yourself.

> 5.      If any application is dependant on the USB Dongle for the license model, is it possible to move away from this method?
> 6. If not then, if the USB dongle can support any USB over IP?

Subversion itsself is free software, so no dongle needed.

If you use any subversion distribution, add-on or subversion based software by a 3rd party which requires a dongle (I know of at least one), you should contact the vendor of that software.

 

Best regards

Markus Schaber
