Hello, friends of SourceHosting.net!

Here's a short quiz:

    SourceHosting.net Upgrades to Subversion 1.5

    SourceHosting.net recently upgraded to Subversion 1.5, the latest release of the popular revision control system.

    Important new features, such as automatic merge tracking and repository master/slave replication, increase the usability of Subversion in larger, more complicated projects. In particular, automatic merge tracking helps prevent integration problems caused by repeated merging as software is prepared for release.

    All new SourceHosting.net accounts include Subversion 1.5, and we will contact existing clients in the coming weeks to arrange their repository upgrades. I have included a link below to an excellent overview of Subversion 1.5 automatic merge tracking that appears on JavaWorld.com. Enjoy!


    Founder Achieves FreeBSD Project Committer Status

    Greg Larkin, founder of SourceHosting.net, recently became a FreeBSD Project ports tree committer. After a vote by the FreeBSD Core Team, this privilege is granted to developers who have contributed extensive time and high-quality effort to building the operating system and porting new software tools to it.

    "Since 2004, SourceHosting.net has depended on FreeBSD for its entire infrastructure, due to its consistent design, implementation quality and stability in production environments. Starting in 2005, I began porting software to the OS for use with SourceHosting.net and gradually became more experienced with the development infrastructure. I am happy to accept this privilege and look forward to advancing the development and usage of FreeBSD," said Larkin.
