pizzasgood... a script 'update' could be placed in the svn to reduce confusion with people useing different options and messing up thier checkout
svn only updates modified files anyway

Well it seems we are losing Tom for a bit. All my best to that pirate and my friend. Aye me hearties, the swab is a good hand to sail with!
I still wish to discuss the co-op or "entity" to handle the behind the scenes stuff needed for Puppy to grow.
Things like a common donation button across web sites and a group to handle legal, server decisions, and anything that does NOT include development trends, but the base of a sustainable core to run into the future including a treasurer to handle the small amounts of cash that will be generated.
@PG
I'm still in the learning stage...what we can do with the new servers is still on the table and half eaten. It may well be ok to run SVN, torrents and a full repo but it still needs a GOOD Apache admin that has time to do setups and day to day management.
My thinking is to separate the repo from the main OS, also the SVN and all other access, but the devil is in the details on this one for sure.
To honour Tom I wish to forge ahead with his idea and try to make it work. Tom was a major influence for .org and it became a success..thus I will try to continue with Tom's start with regards to the co-op entity.

Cool. I'll play around with my test server this weekend to get a better idea of how it will work at the scale we're talking about. And I want to also do it with GIT, and compare the numbers, on both ends (since GIT stores all the revisions locally also, making the client end somewhat larger). My gut says SVN would be best.
The SVN stuff is kind of off topic here. Since we're finally making some progress with it, I'll start a new thread on it later tonight/tomorrow when I have my test server going. Once we know how we're going to set it up, we can start putting it up on the real server.
Re coop: I do believe that in the long run, we will be best served by a semi-structured system than by anarchy. It's definitely something we'll have to slowly ease our way into. I think that as we start rolling we'll probably naturally slide that way anyways.
I'm not too worried about it. Trial and error isn't the most efficient algorithm, but it works.

Is there a crack somewhere where communication is occuring invisibly?Well it seems we are losing Tom for a bit
2nd that - much better than all that panic stuffI'm not too worried about it. Trial and error isn't the most efficient algorithm, but it works.
If Obama hadn't got there first, PG, you'd make a good President
Good Luck, anyways
Aitch:)
Edited:
@Eric, found the crack, been away for awhile avoiding trollisms
@Tombh: Good Luck, mate, I'll post you every now & then - thanks for all you've done

He isn't "there" yet. He's President Elect and still has to run the gauntlet to make it to the podium on Inauguration Day.Aitch wrote:If Obama hadn't got there first...
Smart money says FAIL and the military band will be serenading President Biden with Hail To The Chief.
They both have about the same experience for that position, ie. NONE, though PG doesn't meet the age requirement....PG, you'd make a good President

Good idea. Is it not Quebec that's strong in coops? If you are in or nearby, you'll easily catch the wind.Caneri wrote: I will try to continue with Tom's start with regards to the co-op entity
Add: Thanks to technosaurus' link to egroupware, I came across this constitution (could be useful).
