I finally set up a small Subversion repository on my local server. The box now has a HD without holes in it (for the moment), so perhaps the repository backend will stick around for a while.

Besides my private software projects, this repository will hold the /etc and kernel configs of my local boxes and this blog. That in turn should allow me to start making modifications to the CGI and the unfortunate default templates.

A couple of To-Dos: I’ll need some checkin hook scripture that pushes the entries out to the server as I commit them, and the CGI uses the file system last-modified date to determine publishing date on the pages. That’s real elegant, but not tremendously robust, especially when the content eventually goes through svn, an export, rsync etc.
