Integrating it all

This equally applies to other things, but I am lodging it here.

I am running a Mac OS10.6.2 (SNow leopard) I have installed the Bitnami Mamp framework, and then SVN, and then joomla, moodle and sugarcrm. (I am looking to do some development of integration between Joomla, and Moodle, and possibly SugarCRM at a later stage)

I have used other source Code Management in the past, but am trying to work out the basic incantations for getting this all working together. I think that much of it might relate to my knowledge (or lack there of) of SVN. But the second thing that comes into play is building a moveable Joomla.

WHat I need to be able to do, is

a) checkin the Joomla (and moodle and so on) components (from the local bitnami install directory tree, to the bitnami SVN directory, I presume

b) Check them back out, possibly using integration with an IDE to do so. (Netbeans, Xcode or eclipse) in such as fashion, that they are in the right places for each (or all of these applications to work.

c) A secondary “bonus” is the ability to maintaing various dev/testing levels locally, but as the need arises, propogate the codebase back to another repository, somewhere else (such as code.google.com)

I guess where I am coming adrift, is s combination of a) understanding the SCM workings of SVN, and how to make it do what I think it should be able to to, and b) the fact that everything seems to want its files in a different place.

Bitnami SVN, seems to want to put its repository at /Applications/mampstick-1.2-0/subversion-1.6.2-4/repository, whereas Joomla is parking its files at /Applications/mampstick-1.2.0/apps/joomla/ and moodle/sugar at simiar directory points to joomla.

But then, the IDEs are looking to park their files – Xcode wants to park it’s files in /Users/myname/Documents/ Eclipse in /Users/myname/Documents/exclipse/workspace/. I guess I can change all of these to a common source point, which nominally is the same as the Bitnami apps (Joomla etc) but then that gets confusing for apps that I am working on that aren’t in the Joomla/Moodle etc (under Bitnami) area.

thoughts?

Hi,

The BitNami Subversion Stack creates a repository by default but you can create more where you prefer. In the README file there are the steps to create and configure a new Subversion repository http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/subversion/1.6….
