can anyone give an detailed procedure on how to
migrate projects from gforge version(4.5) to teamforge version 5.2.0.
Migration includes source repository, bug tracking, wiki and discussions.
is it possible to shift all of them.
What's the best way to handle a situation like this?
Thank
You
Teamforge uses Subversion, so assuming you have commandline access to the server then you can use the svnadmin dump and svnadmin load commands.
You will need to run these commands for each repository.
Some (I don't know which) of the pages and wiki are also stored in subversion repositories, so you may be able to migrate that using the same method.

I want to use Pentaho for my work. After a bit of research I found that to store the ktr/kjb files I can have either database as a repository or I can use file system as a repository. However I don't find any benefits of using database as a repository over file system. The basic purpose of repository here is to create a common location where I can keep all the developed ktr/kjb files in production environment. Basically if I consider the database repository, it will hold all the developed ktr/kjb files in production and every time I need to run a job/transformation I will connect to database to get the respective ktr/kjb file (similar to how informatica stores transformation) on the other hand file based repository will be like a folder holding all the developed files.
Can somebody here will be able to explain pros and cons of both type of repository?
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks in advance.
When several people develop on the same jobs/transformations, the database repository will hold the changes, and ensure the latest versions.
The pros of a filesystem is of course ease of backup, no database connection that can trouble you, and the possibility to use other, more modern and mature version control systems for the files, than the database repositories use.
If you are using the free community edition, I would definitely go with the file repository, along with external file-based version control and migration systems. If you are using the enterprise edition, then you might want to consider the database repository, since you can then use Pentaho's built-in version control and migration systems.
When I was on an army programming course me and my friends used SVN with a repository we had. I wanna set up a repository so that I can work on my projects without having to worry about moving my files from pc to pc and working with the right version.
If there's something you can recommend and what source control program I can use I'd love that. Thanks!
Two commonly-used repository hosting sites are Github (https://github.com/) and Bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org). They use git (Bitbucket also supports Mercurial) instead of SVN, which is similar but has a slightly different workflow. These two services are easy to get started with and have great tutorials. And repositories are free!
You can:
Install, configure and run own instance of SVN-server on own host
Move to Assembla, which offer natural SVN-hosting
Select any other SVN-hosting
Create Git-repos on GitHub, but use SVN-gate (special SVN-URL) and SVN-clients
I need to prepare a repo for access from an HTTP server.
To do seem it seems I need to run git update-server-info on the repo which updates some files that make it accessible over a dumb HTTP server.
I am using Pygit2 / Libgit2 to create the repo. Does libgit2 allow me to do a update-server-info or do I need to somehow execute the command line git to do so?
I have searched extensively so if it is available then I'm looking in the wrong places to find how.
libgit2 does not offer any support for the dumb HTTP protocol, but since this is the server, it wouldn't help much it implemented update-server-info.
In order to support the dumb protocol you need to make git update-server-info run after every push into the server's repo via one of the hooks which git provides, so you need to be using git for this anyway.
I'm working on a program that shall have an "updates" module (online). I can't figure out how to do this. Initially i'm trying with a SVN repository. Any better idea? How is this normally done?
(I'm not asking for a concrete languague, i only want an general idea about the procces)
Thank you.
What we do (in an intranet environment) is roughly:
We have an application that (instead of directly starting) points to a little script that fetches the latest 'publicized' version from a known location using rsync.
Then the script simply bootstraps the application itself.
This way:
Everyone always works with the same version of the software.
New builds are easy to deploy: just copy them over to the known 'sync' location.
Using rsync or similar allows you to minify overhead since it works incrementally.
We force the upgrade upon our users, but this mechanism could also be adapted for online (on-demand) updates.
I have a trac repository available on a local network and need to take a dump of the trac data to be able to access it out of that network.
Can anyone suggest a way to do it ?
I don't think there is a unified command to dump both the trac project and a possible attached svn repo, but for separate dumping, Trac has a hotcopy command and svn a dump command.
