In regards to subversion, our customers have had success on the current (dv) platform using the packages you can find here: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/subversion/ that are build for the RHEL4 line. Hope this helps! Todd Nine -

Mostly for ruby 1.8.5 without the need for a development yum repo. I also really need subversion 1.2 or newer since I use Red mine as my project management software. I can't seem to get subversion 1.4 to "play nice" on centos 4.4 with the latest compiled modules. Has anyone got it to work with the collabnet rpms here? http://downloads.open.collab.net/collabnet-subversion.html I’m also looking for CentOS 5.

We would even use Ubuntu LTS but would prefer the latest greatest Ubuntu of course. We would switch our server to Ubuntu if you added that.

We're big fans of the project here at (mt). We do know that CentOS-5 is out, and there are templates available for it for our virtualization platform. However, Plesk is not going to support it until the next version of Plesk 8 which is due out sometime Soon (tm). Since the large majority of our customers need a control panel such as this, we aren't offering VPS's based on CentOS-5 just yet. But, we will certainly be keeping an eye on things once those CentOS-5 Plesk templates become available. Johnny - First off thanks for all your hard work on CentOS.

Secondly, CentOS does have the CentOSPlus repository of packages, where Mysql-5, php-5 pgsql-8 etc have been available for a long time and all of the other packages mentioned in this conversation so far, are available directly from trusted second party repositories ( http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories ) - KB Hi Guys,

It may not be as "stable" as your CentOS OS template, but it really does it's job, and is pretty up to date. Plus, the only thing I really don't get the grasp of is DNS configuration. So if there was some way to abstract it I would even ask you to get me a blank box with only sshd enabled. I would take care of the rest. This should be an available option anyways, since you guys don't provide support on software.

I am one for "bleeding-edge" technology. Fo my business, personally I have no issues with trouble-shooting new systems and configs.... change and challenge is welcome in my house.
