warehouse looks pretty good, but it requires both ruby on rails (easy-ish to install) and the ruby-svn bindings (which are basically a bitch). why do the harder languages to get up and running on the web (ruby and python) require the bindings while the easier languages (php and perl) just shell out and so work easily? gah. currently using websvn in php which does a reasonable job and is trivial to set up.

doing things like installing yum on a fresh centos instance remind me how fucking backwards linux still is. of course, those instructions don't quite work - need to install the rpms in the right order, so i had to modify the bash script. die in a hole, linux
