Hi

I have some suggestions regarding the use of viewvc for publishing the svn repository to the web.

1) update to viewvc 1.06. CHANGELOG: http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/viewvc/trunk/CHANGES?rev=HEAD

2) add source code coloring by installing highlight (from http://www.andre-simon.de/) and switch on its use in viewcvs.conf

"use_highlight = 1"

and possibly the path

"highlight_path = ..."

3) switch on on-the-fly-building of tarballs in viewcvs.conf. This is particullarly useful for the fixes branch.

"allow_tar = 1"

I found this features very helpful or at least nice while using my own repository.

Regarding extra load on the machine, I did not notice any problems with my setup, but sure enough I have no idea about your system.

Greetings - Michael Schindler aka mischi.

Since ViewVC 1.0.6 is not yet in the ubuntu repository, I prefer to stick with 1.0.3. External packages always require extra maintainance.

Did so.

Since idefix has only a slow connection I don't like it.

Well I wonder what happens if some requests a tar ball of the fpc svn root :)

I use viewvc a lot & find it a very good way to access the fpc svn stuff.

I do not think that we should add anything to cause performance hits.

However re version, there seem to be quite a few security related fixes since 1.0.3. It isn't clear whether they are important or not, but perhaps these are a reason to go for 1.0.6 as soon as possible?
