Hi all - Just wanted to let folks know that RubyForge now supports svn+http for read-only access to the svn repositories. For example: # ==================== $ svn checkout [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/) mongrel A mongrel/test A mongrel/test/test\_command.rb A mongrel/test/test\_redirect\_handler.rb A mongrel/test/test\_response.rb A mongrel/test/test\_stats.rb [… etc …] Enjoy! Yours, Tom [http://generatingparserswithjavacc.com/](http://generatingparserswithjavacc.com/) ---

I had to “tunnel” through our own server in order to checkout the current rubyforge mocha project at my current contract work. It took me several calls, some month and a half of waiting and a formal request for my client company to open the SVN port and then only to my own machine … ;-). Life will be easier now. \*t – ---

He likes dark beer and porter. I was thinking of getting some donations via paypal and sending him a thank you gift he could really appreciate. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll see what we can do. P.S. I don’t drink so suggestions on dark beer / porter that can be ordered and shipped via the interwebs would be appreciated. ---

And should I receive beer, I promise not to do any sysadmin work on RubyForge after drinking it 🙂 Yours, Tom ---

Life will be easier now. Cool. I hope to get svn+https up and running at some point too. As far as I can tell, it seems like svn+ssh and svn+https are mutually exclusive for the same svn repo - either the filesystem has to handle the permissions or mod\_dav\_svn has to. I’m working on a automated way for a project admin to elect one or another… we shall see… Yours, Tom ---

Cool, I’ll look into that… Thanks, Tom
