SVN Mac - Multiple Relations

[bobcusick]

Running a SVN server on a Mac (mini) - and am running into all kinds of problems.

- Multiple copies of the same relation;
- "Missing" relations (between sessions);
- Inability to DELETE relations after update;

We're using the recommended ("correct") SVN plug-in, the machine is running Leopard (not Snow Leopard).... it's really getting to be annoying!

Is anyone else seeing these types of problems?

Hi Bob,

Are you using the SVNKit connector or the JavaHL connector? I recommend to use the JavaHL (on Mac you also need to install the SVN binaries then)

[Harjo]

we are using visualSVN server for windows

with OSX as developer.

no problems here, at all

Robert, why do you recommomend javaHL??

[bobcusick]

Hey Harjo - will that visualSVN work for a SVN that's on the Mac?

Robert, why do you recommomend javaHL??

Because I and other(s) had issues with the pure Java SVN connector. JavaHL uses the SVN binaries instead.

edit: I meant pure *Java* connector

VisualSVN is a Windows-only SVN Server. On Mac you simply use the Subversion binaries.

OK Robert, I'm really DENSE so hang in there with me... to be clear:

if SVN is on Windows - and Dev is on Windows use Visual SVN;
ELSE if SVN is on Windows - and Dev is on Mac - use Subversive (not Subclipse);
ELSE if SVN is on Mac - and Dev is Mac or Windows - use JavaHL

Correct?

Hi Bob,

You are mixing Client and Server here.
SVNKit or JavaHL + Subversion binaries (client) is used in Developer to connect to the SVN Server
VisualSVN is an SVN Server for Windows.

So what I advice is not to use SVNKit as a connector in your Subversive install (Developer) but the JavaHL connector.
But on Mac (and Linux) this requires the Subversion binaries on your machine. On Windows the binaries are already in the JavaHL connector.

Hope this explains it better.

Robert,

THANK YOU! We'll give it a try and let you know how it goes!
