Radrails is built on the Eclipse tool foundation, and as such, provides the same connectivity as Eclipse itself. Your Freepository Silver Account SVN repository may be accessed in Radrails by simply adding a new SVN Repository in the SVN Repository Exploring perspective. When prompted for the SVN URL, type in your Silver account SVN URL like this:
https://svn.freepository.com/[your-account-id]
This is the same URL that you will find in your admin menu when you login to Freepository. Be sure not to use your Trac URL – that one has ‘-web’ on the end of it.
To register for Freepository Silver Edition, go to the registration page and select the Silver Plan.
The next major redesign of the Freepository is in the planning stage now. The focus of this release, tentatively scheduled for early May 2007, is ripping out as much of the legacy CGI as possible and replacing it with asynchronous calls to either the database or the repository server.
Ajax? Yeah. But please don’t start shouting web 2.0 or any of the other silly-sexy terms being thrown around by every dime-store startup CEO that walks past. The core application will remain rock-solid on-demand source control, defect & issue tracking, release management and wikis. We’ll apply the UI elements where it makes sense, but where old-school is still best… we’ll be partying like it’s 1999…
If you’re a software developer, you’ll like what we have planned.
In January, I began offering a new account type at Freepository – Silver Edition. Silver provides on-demand trac views of your subversion-managed freepository. For a limited time, Freepository Silver Edition, which provides hosted SVN and Trac, is available free of charge.
