SVN Repository Migration

Our current employer decided to have the code base as VisualSVN. So we stated a demo server and then after successful trail started a staging server for our project. For the entire March month it worked well, and we decided to have another VisualSVN server as production.  During the last week we have decided to migrate our staging SVN source to production box, but now the problem is about history or revision of the full one month.

After binging and googling, I’ve found many alternatives. Most of all, I’ve realized one simple solution and migrated the entire code base from staging to production as simple as cake biting.

Problem :

Source SVN is at 10.4.5.68 and the repositories are installed at D:\

Target SVN is at 119.18.112.63 and the repositories are installed at E:\

Solution:

Step 1:

Copy all the project folders from 5.68\d$\repository\<<projectRepositories>> to 112.63\e$\repository\

Step 2:

Copy the auth files from 5.68 to 112.63, this would copy all the users along with their project groups

Step 3:

Go to the client side and just relocate your SVN url by right clicking on the folder and point to “SVN=>Relocate”

That’s is done.. did you try?

Yahoo .. Mail server is down..

Yahoo.. It’s You.. that’s a real caption. Now-a-days, yahoo management is doing an extensive marketing promotion to take yahoo to the next generation. On one side, they are targeting the young blood, while the other side they are ignoring the revenue generating agents like small business partners.

Our business mail provider is Yahoo, recently, since last 2 days our email servers are down. Can you imagine a software business with out emails? Here is the proof..

Voice Blog

WhitePages.com recently acquired Snapv!ne. Ofcourse, it doesn't really matter me. but the interesting aspect here is that about Snapv!ne. This is a voice blog and i just started my voice blog. This seems good as long as you have all the facilities towards voice blogging, but not sure how this will work when am back in India.

Anyhow, you can find my blog here. I started my first post. Did you see this? do you have account?

 

Do let me know your comments.

Team Lunch - GL Group

This post is from Austin, Texas, America. Recently, i've moved to Austin, Tx, on a business trip. I'm currently in USA on B1 for about 3 months from 20th Aug 2008 to 17th Nov 2008. During this trip, i would be placed with our client GL Group, and study their technology practices. Once i go back to India, will start my own team to develop application for GL Group.

With in the current group am working with, there is a regular practice on Wednesday's, ie., Team Lunch. according to Mr. Mehar, SW Dev Manager (As his signature on mail says), it is optional that any one can attend and every one can attend. But every individual pay pay their own bills. And this day being my birthday as well, i thought to join them and give them a party.

Mr. Mehar is so friendly and (honestly he is very kind / humble / down to earth / blah... blah .. what ever you can see in a matured personality) volunteered to pay the bill on my behalf. i guess it would be about $100, what ever is the bill, he took it on the bills of the organization. i dont know how.. but mentioned that. here are the few pics from the "Team Lunch"

This is the lunch that Mr. Mehar ordered for me.

Mr. Mehar, Curt Lansing , Elliot O'Hara, Aiden Povedano

I took this picture, that's the reason you could see my seat empty. Ajay Guatham, My Seat, Clint McCulloch and Aaron Whatley

Aiden Povedano took this picture assuming that wanted to have every one. As i already took the one side of the table i wanted the other side. Anyhow, as this didn't come well, i've asked Aiden Povedano to take only the other side. the next one is some how better.

 

After lunch, Mehar and Elliot left early due to meetings, and we left behind.

We are walking back from lunch.

Birthday Cake - 2007

This is my first ever birth day cake of my life. Friends and colleagues, have taken many pics. but out of all, only these two survived and reached me, after many followups. Thankyou all of you .. for the cake as well as pics.

That day, they had applied the cream every possible exposed part of my body, except the dress, every other place. Somehow, that's a nice experience.
