![]() Why are you a Configuration Manager? Go into finance or something. However, if you don't have the technical expertise, and don't feel like picking it up. I am a highly technical person, and I find that these front ends keep modifying the changes I make. I don't like the front ends that VisualSVN and UberSVN provide. It's mainly used to show the source code in things like Jira or Jenkins. Truthfully, most developers aren't going to use the web interface anyway. Plus, I don't have to run it on my Subversion server. I find Sventon faster than ViewVC, and it integrates better with more third party tools. It does have ViewVC as a repository web browser, but I prefer Sventon anyway. You hack the configuration files themselves. The more you pay them, the more tricks they'll do.ĬollabNet has no GUI front end. You pay them your money, and they're your support monkey. All three will offer support at various levels. ![]() Wandisco admited to me that this isn't really a heavily used feature. UberSVN for example has some sort of "Social" front end which allows you to sort of tweet comments on files outside of commit comments. Both UberSVN and VisualSVN have all sorts of bonus bells.You can setup teams, and browse your repository. uberSVN and VisualSVN provide front ends for Subversion maintenance and Apache configuration.I believe they all have LDAP configuration abilities too, but you have to pay extra for that. All three are basically Subversion compiled to work with Apache httpd and all required resources.So it does not really matter which way you go, it is all Subversion. The actual server that your users interact with is Apache + Subversion. ![]() Keep in mind that all three of these mainly exist to help you configure and manage the server. SVN Edge also has a REST API, so you can write scripts for doing things like adding repositories. You just point it at the folder that contains your repositories. SVN Edge has a feature called "Discover Repositories" that automatically adds all the existing repositories you have. SVN Edge and UberSVN provide a web browse interface, and VisualSVN Server provide a Microsoft Management Console add-in. Anyway, because it only runs on Windows it is arguably more tightly integrated. VisualSVN Server only runs on Windows servers, which is not an issue if that is what you want to use. Disclaimer: I manage the SVN Edge project and am also a committer for the Apache Subversion project.Īll three are free, but only SVN Edge is open-source.
