Has PainlessSVN been released? |
Yes, PainlessSVN is now ready!
|
Is PainlessSVN free or commercial? |
PainlessSVN is a commercial utility. The price has been set to around 50 USD. The final price will be a tad less than that.
I didn’t think that it will give justice for it to become open source and not be updated after only a few releases. Making it commercial ensures that there will be incentive for it to be updated and made more useful with each new release.
|
Does PainlessSVN work with 64-bit Windows? |
PainlessSVN has been tested with Windows 2008 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
|
Does it work across the Internet? |
No. PainlessSVN Professional is designed to work on your Local Area Network.
There are future plans to make a version of PainlessSVN that will function across the Internet.
|
Do I need to install the Subversion software? |
Yes. PainlessSVN Professional is an administration tool that is separate from Subversion. PainlessSVN Professional works in conjunction with Subversion server software to make your source control experience more pleasant. PainlessSVN supports several Subversion distributions out of the box; CollabNet, Tigris, and SlikSVN.
|
Does PainlessSVN work with Apache-managed repositories? |
Not at this time, but it is being considered.
|
Does PainlessSVN work with Subversion servers hosted on Linux? |
There are 2 ways that this can be accomplished:
- A Samba share mapped to a drive
- A WebDAV share mapped to a drive
Be aware that Windows WebDAV client implementation is currently broken. You will need to use a third party WebDAV client, like BitKinex. There’s a lot more information on WebDAV clients at http://www.webdav.org/projects/
|
Are there plans to make an administration utility that runs on Linux? |
No, there are no current plans to create a version that runs on Linux. The core library, SVNManagerLib, has been tested on Suse with Mono.
|
How do I uninstall MMC 3.0? |
There is no uninstall entry for MMC 3.0 in the control panel applet. However, you can run the following from the Start -> Run dialog:
“C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB907265$\spuninst\spuninst.exe”
|
Are there any side effects to running MMC 3.0 that I should know of? |
Yes!
It has been reported that the DTS part of Enterprise Manager does not work in any versions of Windows Server 2003. My personal experience is that Enterprise Manager on Windows XP is rather flaky after installing MMC 3.0. It still works, but I have to close it and re-start it several times due to some errors.
