You’re pretty much correct in your line of thinking. However you should also know how to use those directories, for instance when to branch out into the “branch” directory and when to branch out into the “tags” directory.

Good explanation of best practices for here: http://www.duchnik.com/tutorials/vc/svn-best-practices

Comment on Install Acquia Drupal via Microsoft Web Platform Installer by Derek

Awesome! Thanks! With this one search result I finally understand why the Web Platform Installer failed me after about 10 Drupal install attempts. And, thanks to Jam, I now know that I can safely ditch using it in favor of the DAMP installer! Thanks for that!

I really fell in love with Drupal when testing the TurnKeyLinux VM of it, but we’re a Windows shop and there is substantial resistance to “alien” technology. Hopefully, I can get similar results using the DAMP installer for Windows.

@John, Yes and the good idea in having a Project at the root of the repository is that you can move it, and when you do, you move the trunk, branches and tags too.
I typically move a project into an archive folder when the project is “dead”, it’s simply and fast.

Would the repository look like:

Project\trunk\Solution\Project\bin
Project\trunk\Solution\Project\obj
Project\trunk\Solution\Project\HelloWorld.cs
Project\trunk\Solution\Project\HelloWorld.csproj
Project\trunk\Solution\Project\HelloWorld.csproj.user
Project\trunk\Solution\Solution.sln
Project\trunk\Solution\Solution.suo (ignored)

Or would it look different somehow? I guess I’m confused by the possibly unqualified use of “Project”

Thanks!

John

On Windows, you could also give the Acquia Stack Installer a try. You can download Windows and Mac versions as well as a .deb package for Ubuntu/Debian Linux at http://acquia.com/downloads

Our experience at Acquia, gained from a lot of feedback and directly at training and community events, is that this often runs more smoothly than the Platform Installer. Tip: On Vista and Windows 7 it helps if you right click the install file and select the “run as administrator” option.

Glad you’re up and running nonetheless!

Cheers,

Good approach. Something that I prefer to do myself to analyze the optimal solution to a problem. You could have used System.Diagnostics.StopWatch instead of DateTime.Now.

Comment on Woopra about to go out of beta by Lorelle

Lorelle — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:27:53 +0000

We’re committed to keeping a free version of Woopra, but we will also be dependent upon the paid versions to help us cover the costs of the free version, as it should be. We’re working on a ton of new features and apps for Woopra, so expect to see it’s value increase dramatically over the next year. Thanks for your input on our proposed packages and for your support!
