From the Really-g33ky-Stuff Dept:

Found out today that DarwinPorts has a Subversion port. Spent most of the afternoon on the dialup modem building it (and 3 other things), then realized there was no Subversion server built (it's a client-server architecture. Just having the client is useful, but you've got to have a server somewhere).

Nuts. I was hoping everything would happen automatically. About 3 months ago I fought with getting the server to work, to no avail. Was really hoping to be a brain-dead install this time around.

Since the local server (no remote access) is fairly easy to build, I modified a few files, fought with it for about 2 hours, and finally got it building.

Being the good Open Source Citizen I am, I sent the fixes (and my justification of these fixes) back to the DarwinPorts folks.

This weekend looks like a set of heavy "deep debugging" days. Oh great. Found several interesting bugs today -- one in one of my scripts, one in a project. Should keep me busy if I am snowed in all of Saturday. If this power goes out, well, then I'm done with.

On the other hand, my (company) website should be almost ready to go. Wohooo.
