Best web front-end for SVN? [closed]

Question

I'm researching SVN repository browsers, and it's a tiresome task given how many are out there (I started here)

The "ideal" system would

• Run on Linux
• Be easy to use, even for non-developer types
• Look nice (have a decent skin)
• Either have built-in access control, or be written in PHP so that I could hack it myself to hook it up to something like an LDAP server.

Basically, I'm researching the idea of using a SVN front-end as also a delivery system for assets to other employees (think account executives, project managers, etc.) who need read-only access and are not as technically minded so it needs to be easy to use/navigate. And I'd really need to be able to set read permissions on a per-folder basis - we can't have everyone with full read access to the entire repository.

Answer 1

Trac.( http://trac.edgewall.org/ ) Its not wonderful, but from what I've seen, for SVN its the best.

With Access control to boot.

I managed to set up a rig with even per-directory permissions for various trac users ( they just didn't appear ) .

Been a while tho.

Default Skin looks pretty good, and is highly tunable.

Comes with a wiki & bug tracker, which you can disable if you want.

Answer 2

Atlassian Fisheye http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/ is a commercial one that I can't live without!

(full disclosure...I am employed by Atlassian, but I say without bias that Fisheye is the best one out there that I've used)
