[ciapug] Subversion for Web Dev SCM

[Daniel.Juliano at wellsfargo.com]

If I read your question properly, this sounds like a three environment
system issue.
 
In a perfect-for-deployment world, you would want to have a scripts that
run for:
1) check out to development environment (typically, developers machines)
2) check out to test environment (hopefully a box that developers have
restricted access to)
3) check out to production environment (hopefully a box that developers
have no access to whatsoever)
 
The test and production scripts should be handed a version number to
check out, which allows you to 'certify' a particular build number as
production-ready.  There may be a multi-week gap between deploy to test
and deploy to production, and your developers can continue checking in
changes against the trunk without impacting your deployments.

My current employer uses svn successfully, although I'm far from an
expert on svn :)
What we do here, is have each developer checkout their development
branch onto their local machine (which is a LAMP box). I think you
answered your own question, and you would have to checkout the trunk or
a devel branch (or whatever you want to test) to a test web server, or
to the subdomain's DocumentRoot of your SVN server if that's where you
want it to run.

properly. No

	I have my code in a repository and all of the developers can
access
	it through svn just fine. Checkin, checkout, etc. What I can't
make

to

for

point
	Apache to the repository because, well, the files aren't really
	there... and running a live web instance on your trunk code just
	sounds like an idea firmly lodged in the 'bad' category to me. 
	
	Any help greatly appreciated.
