Re: [Subclipse-users] Subclipse, SVN and Remote Host

Thank you both for your responses!

No, this is not the optimal arrangement. I am working on the road from my
laptop. I VPN into my home network. Rather than mirror the code locally on
my laptop, install apache on the poor little thing, and then deal with
merging the codebases, I am using my main devel machine as a remote host and
working from it using RSE. This is slower than local development by a long
shot, but faster than manually ftping everything to the remote server. Thus,
there is no local mirror for me to commit to the repo, which is on another
machine hosting SourceForge for project managment. Eclipse created project
files locally when I created a new project to do said development. These are
the local files I referred to in my previous post. Using a local mirror of
the codebase was one of the options I had looked at, but is essentially a
waste of time, and defeats the purpose of using RSE. I was looking for a way
not to do that. Looks like I came up short.

I am unclear about how subclipse handles remote repos. I understand that svn
is just a version management system. However, Subclipse supports remote SVN
repos. Presumably, when a commit is performed, the newest version of the
updated files are uploaded to the server where the repo is hosted. If this
is the case, then some sort of ftp must be used. Does Subclipse do this
itself, or must I then manually upload the files to the appropriate
directories?

Thanks again for your help!
