SVN log poor performance because of the "big" revisions

We have experienced a very poor performance of the svn log command on the new repository that had only a few revisions.

It took more than a minute(!) to get history that had only one revision - the initial import.

While blaming the server configuration and network security, we didn't find anything unusual that could affect the svn performance so much.

 

The reason was much simpler - initial import of the full project tree had more than 32,000 files, and it turned out to be too much for one revision.

Breaking the initial import into several commits solved the problem completely.

If you have a big project to import, instead of running

svn import myproject file:///opt/opencm/svnroot/trunk/myproject -m "Initial import"

 

write a short script to import smaller parts, like:

cd myproject

Eclipse projectset plugin for subversion

For those of you that miss the eclipse projectset plugin we used to work with cvs, i finally found its latest version and the SVN adaptors that works fine in the latest eclipse (Galileo).

Use update site of the plugin in version V3.0.0 from the Download page. Note that if you have older version installed, you have to uninstall it first.

Use links in the main page to install the adaptor. Subclipse adaptor works fine, the one for Subversive I didn't check.

 

Enjoy :)

ALM fuse day summary - "Play" with Tikal new ALM2 framework

Our goal for the first Fuse day was to start working with the new framework and these were our achievements by the end of the day:
- Added a tab (plugin) for Hudson - went pretty smooth!
- Added plugin that handles Hudson integration with Bugzilla inside the framework - replace the link to Bugzilla created by Hudson Bugzilla plugin with the link to Bugzilla inside the ALM2 - still have some problems that need to be fixed.
- Added Tikal header as a plugin - also have some problems that still need to be fixed.
- Add dashboard "boxes" for existing components - just started with the one of the "boxes".
- "How to add a plugin" document for "tab" plugins
Although we had a nice progress with the planned items, the conclusion was that some changes should be done in the framework to make it simpler to work with, like use static (pluggable) tabs, remove use of spring-javaconfig and etc.

Continuous Integration with Hudson - the book

John Ferguson Smart has started writting a new open-source book "Continuous Integration with Hudson".

He plans not only to describe and document Hudson, but also to provide a wealth of best practices and real-world tips enabling readers to get the most out of their Continuous Integration environment.

There is only one chapter till now, but it looks promising, so we should keep an eye on it, and maybe suggest some of the tips and best practice we have.
