I would love to be able to go over other peoples server worlfklow. Updating Acquia Drupal with SVN while also using our own SVN repository. If anyone wants to chat about that, it would be great!

We can talk about a vendor

We can talk about a vendor branch workflow, which is what I've been trying.

See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html (note - not loading right now for some reason)

Great!

Thanks Peter! I will try to immerse myself with the info at that link before the Meetup so I can better understand what you go over.

Cheers,

Elijah

Sounds good!

In addition to the O'Reilly book, there's a decent tutorial at: http://www.davidgrant.ca/maintaining_vendor_sources_with_subversion. I would note that this process is optimized for maintaining one site, but with some shell glue and Drush, it can scale decently for lots of sites. Looking forward to talking more about this!

Incidentally, has a location been picked?

Coda works well for FTP, editing and SVN. Versions is also a great standalone SVN app.

the most current version of bzr is supposed to optionally include a GUI - I haven't tried the GUI though.

For svn, the (commercial) one, Versions, is considered the best as far as I know.

You can also use svn integration via an IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse, both of which are free/FOSS, or try this free GUI svnx (though it wasn't intuitive to me).

webchick and I spent a couple hours writing up the essential tool and steps for doing a svn vendor branch with svn_load_dirs and svnmerge http://drupal.org/node/679650

It's still not painless, but if you are already using svn it should be accessible.
