Re: Recommendations for a production svn server

Thanks everyone for the recommendations and answers.... I was mildly
concerned about being responsible for the subversion server (and knowing
nothing about apache or subversion) but after monitoring this mailing
list for a few days and the responses to my question that is a concern
no more.

We have windows 2003 server with apache 2.0.48 and svn 0.35.1 up and
running (I just got mod_ssl and mod_deflate working too yahoo!!!). We
have 9 projects (500 megs) and have one project (10 megs) in subversion
and will move the rest over as everyone in the company gets over their
learning curve. I just set up 2 mirrored 10K ide raptor drives for the
repositories (among other things), actually the server power supply died
so I took the down-time to add the raided drives :-D. We use ant
scripts for 80% of our commits and updates so there is no changes needed
for many developer's once the ant scripts are changed over. The other
10% will use a combo of command line, tortoise and subclipse (once there
is a version compatible with 0.35.1 out)

thanks again for all the assistance :-)
