FlexySvn

FlexySvn is a XUL based Subversion repository browser. This is an amazing piece of work!

If you a are a Firefox user and your server has PHP5 installed then this must be worth looking at.

I finally got round to

I finally got round to packaging up the XUL based Subversion browser, so you can try it out on your own servers..

The first release effort is here : FlexySvn-0.1

Dependancies / Installation Instructions.

* PHP5 (5.0.4 or CVS snapshot) (I might try doing a PHP4 version later.. - but you can always reverse proxy and run PHP5+apache2 on another port..)

* The svn extension

#pecl install -f svn

* The colorer library and extension
Download and build the colorer library Colorer-take5-linux.beta4.tar.bz2
(good ole ./configure;make;make install;)
Then install the colorer extension:

#pecl install -f colorer

* Download the tarball, and 'tar xvzf' into your web folder for cheap web hosting.

* copy svn.php to index.php (so your config/bootstrap file will not be overwritten if I ever release another version)

* edit the index.php - it's commented and pretty simple..

* Visit the url (and hope it works)

The test machine I did all this on unfortunatly had alot of problems with apache2/php5 head and 5.0.4, Basically it segfaulted with all php calls.. - this was fixed with a small horrible hack,

Feel free to add comments to this post if you come across problems or email me fixes if you can think of any..
