Re: How to approximate offline mode?

interesting, i came across the same problem. we can't access
the corporate svn repos outside the office, and sometimes when
deploying or not working there it's convenient to at least be able to
commit.

i'll explore the svk and the bazaar modules solutions. what is the
complete name for them? perhaps bzr-svn?

for reference, follows what i do, which is a bit cumbersome :)

* after committing, svn export + tar.bz2
* at the foreign computer, untar and cp -r over the bzr repository
* bzr commit, making sure the message contains the svn revision number
* edit / compile / test / bzr commit as needed (loop)
* bzr export => bring to the corporate computer
* for each significant bzr revision, bzr export, cp -r, svn commmit

it's a bit annoying, but it's easy to script or automate with the bash
history. i don't know however, if there is significant gain with other
more elegant solutions, provided you can't use svk at work.

if you expect that there may be conflicts with the modifs of other
people, it's good to prepare a branch either before you quit the office
or before importing the bzr changes.
