I tried to get svn hosting before at devjavu yet they had changed there policy when I tried; yet I have just come across the following blog entry and the entry code is still valid and thought I would spread the word.

I personally prefer google code, it's simple, it works and it's free. :)

I do use google code aswell yet it requires code to be open source.
Is this really the correct forum to be moved to?

I don't know of any free svn providers that don't want closed source stuff. I pay for hosting, which I know isn't what you asked for, but it is cheap, and good (they set up trac for you too). See geekisp.com for details (I don't work for them :))

This seems to be confusion due to my bad English used in the title, which should read:
"Are you looking for free SVN hosting, trac, wiki and more?" Did the mod that moved this also change the subject title? or did I really write that lol.
So to recap SVN with 1Gb of storage, 3 committers, can make it private and Trac
Sorry for the confusion.

Haha, well now I know of one. How about I move it to announcements. I won't modify the title (you can do that if you want). Thanks for letting us know :)

EDIT: I won't be moving anything, not if phpBB has anything to say about it (well, it has this to say about it: "invalid_session")
EDIT 2: Yay, phpBB loves me.

 Post subject: SVN On A USB Stick
PostPosted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 4:22 pm 
If you want free and portable SVN hosting just put SVN on a USB stick following the instructions below (note this works well for Windows, haven't tested it out in Linux yet ... but should work okay)

1. Download svn

2. Unzip svn to your USB stick (let's say X:\svn-win32-1.5.6)

3. Follow the instructions here on how to setup a new repository

4. Create a script: X:\startSVNServer.cmd with the following contents:
Code:
svn-win32-1.5.6\bin\svnserve --daemon --root .\repository


5. Download and install Tortise SVN onto a Windows machine then copy the C:\Program Files\TortiseSVN folder to your USB stick X:\TortiseSVN

6. Then create a script X:\tortiseSVN.cmd with the following contents:
Code:
start TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe /command:repobrowser


7. Start the server using the "startSVNServer.cmd" script

8. Open ToriseSVN using the "tortiseSVN.cmd" script

9. Enter the url
Code:
svn://localhost


10. Voila! You have your own portable SVN repository

Hmm... portable SVN seems kinda strange to me. You use SVN in order to keep your repository safe, accessible and somewhere you aren't going to lose it, accidentally reformat it, destroy it by sitting on it, fall over onto it, etc.

Having the repository on a USB stick seems like the ideal way to have a source control system that neatly bypasses all of the above safety items :P

If you are going to go portable, I'd go portable with a DVCS (like mercurial, bazaar or git). That way you can have another repo on a safe computer, but still have the convenience of local hosting.

I always like the necro posts where I have no recollection of writing the things I wrote. I always assume that someone guessed my password(*) and is posting as me.

(*) maybe if my password wasn't hunter2 I wouldn't be so paranoid.

It's ok, the browser turns that into a masked password for us :D I wouldn't worry about it being hunter2 if I were you ;)

Hi, i recommend XP-Dev. You can create public AND private repositories, very useful feature. Project management, tasks, wiki, forum, ... with multiple users per project.

Cheers

There're several sites that offer free svn repo. I'm using Assembla right now

http://offers.assembla.com/free-subversion-hosting/

(unlimited repos, unlimited users and 2Gb stories)

You can also check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... facilities

for a comparison of different options

Good to know! It seems like they offer free subversion hosting also for private projects. I checked the list of gamers they have
