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.

  • 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..

Note:
Apache must be configured with
AcceptPathInfo On
And PHP must be configured with
magic_quotes_gpc=Off
This can be done in a .htaccess file if necessary.
