Re: Using memcached on Windows with SVN 1.6

Thanks for the responses so far.

> Not to discourage you from trying, but the others that have done the

same did not see any tangible benefits. Most of these users were

already using pretty fast disk systems for their repositories, so

perhaps if yours are on a single spindle or something and you have a

lot of RAM for the cache you might see different.

The tests that I've seen seem to have been done using some serious hardware.
My situation is much more modest with a SVN repository on a disk shared by a
bunch of other processes.

They were never specifically compiled with our without memcached. The

binaries are including the latest (as of a month ago) version of httpd

and apr and using the standard Apache build process that it provides.

If that builds memcache support on Windows then they include them. If

you have to retrieve some special package or use special compile

options then it does not and never has.

I should have added that we provide the source code and build scripts

that go into each release alongside the download. So feel free to

download the source zip and look at the scripts etc.

I have downloaded the source for the Collabnet Subversion server. Comments
at this website: http://github.com/apache/apr-util say that:

To give a brief overview, the primary core
   subsystems of APR-util 1.3 include the following:

     ...
     MemCache interface

     ...

Which would make me believe that if you are using their standard build for
APR-util that it would have memcache support rolled in. A search within the
libaprutil-1.dll (version 1.3.9) that comes within the collab install does
show up references to the following functions:

apr_memcache_add
apr_memcache_add_multget_key
apr_memcache_add_server

Again this feels like it has had support for it compiled in. I can't find
anything specific that says you must do blah to compile support for it on
windows.

Thanks,

Matthew
