Re: Subversion, XCode, ADC and 10.4 Server

I've just noticed there was a nice article on using Subversion with XCode on the ADC Web Site.
Yet, the whole article is referring to Mac OS X Server 10.4.
Is 10.4 Server the recommended OS version for development or is it just that Subversion (Server side) can only work correctly on 10.4 Server?

It works fine on OS X 10.4.3. While others pointed out you might also use Fink instead of Darwinports, I recently used precompiled binaries as the last time I tried Fink couldn't resolve one package dependency. Here is an article describing that setup:
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/08/10/subversion.html>

If you are sure you never ever need to use network access to your repositories, you can also use local a local repository as described (sorry, German only) in <http://www.theflow.de/archives/2004/11/09/ subversion-lokal-unter-mac-os-x>.

Summary: Install the client (no apache etc..), create a repository with 'svnadmin create {Path/To/Repository}', use 'svn import MyProject file:///{Path/to/repository}/MyProject --message=\"initial import\"' to set up the repository and then check it out with 'svn checkout file:///{Path/To/Repository}/MyProject/ .'

Last !least - obvious but rather easy to overlook in the very first setup [Heh, now we have revision control, so lets throw everything in it ;-)]:
If you are working on a bunch of unrelated projects, be sure to create multiple repositories for them.
A repository shares the revision number, commit messages, the internal database etc. which is IMO not desirable for unrelated projects.

HTH,
