SVN hosting (and defect tracking)

Question

Does anyone have experience with third party (non open source) svn hosting? I am looking at two (WUSH and someother one with svn in the name) They sound ok on paper - but I was hoping to get feedback.

I was able to integrate minimal svn crossover into another web based tracking tool (elementool) but want to hear from others about trac, bugzilla and maybe fogbugz. I am taking over as a development manager for a bunch of projects and want to get the company off SSafe. I have been pleased with my past experiences with SVN but I did not like having to spend time managing an public/outward facing apache server - I would be happier spending the $50 or less each month for another company to do it.

How has your experience been?

Answer 1

I recommend assembla. They have great free svn/trac, wiki, ticketing, etc.

Answer 2

I've never used any (I have my own server), but this page lists a bunch. I can't speak as to the 'goodness' of any of them though.

I could, however, suggest that you look into getting your own server. I use a VPS (Virtual Private Server) with SliceHost and host my repositories on that 'box'. SitePoint has an article about VPSs too.

Answer 3

There's also JIRA Studio from Atlassian. svn + JIRA (issue tracking) + Confluence (wiki) + FishEye (svn insight), all hosted.

Disclosure: I work for Atlassian, but not on Studio.

Answer 4

We are using CVSDude for SVN hosting. We never had any problems or downtime. They offer Trac and Bugzilla integration. We used Trac for a while but switched to Fogsbugz because it fit's beter what we are doing.

We are only a very small software development shop and not doing very advanced SVN things. We develop for Windows and are using Tortoise as our SVN client for windows. We also do Ruby web development and use SVN for that too. I don't know what client we use on the Mac coz I'm the windows guy.

I think CVSDude is worth checking out. They offer CVS and SVN.

Answer 5

We are using Wush.net for years and it's great. The only thing is that I have plans to use Active Directory for authentication but they didn't suppport it the last time I checked.

Answer 6

I reccomend Assembla. SVN, GIT, Trak, custom bug / ticketing system, Milestone, fine grained user permission, wiki.

Answer 7

I would recommend Devjavu. I've been using this service for three hobby projects and the only down side of a free account is the lack of attachment in Trac.

Paid plans start at $19/month and come with more features.

Answer 8

I fully recommend assembla.com, not only for hosting your repository, also as platform for Team Workflow

Answer 9

I've also been using DevJaVu for TracExplorer and I'm loving it.

Answer 11

Do have a look at xp-dev.com as well. It offers a ton of space (1.5GB) for subversion hosting along with collaboration tools like project/issue tracking, wiki, etc.

Answer 12

I use beanstalkapp.com on a couple small products and it works great! Send them an email and they reply instantly at any time of day or night. Ask for a feature and they add it. They don't do defect tracking,they're very focused, but they do integrate with others such as fogbugz, and basecamp, lighthouse, etc. Its also free to use for up to 20MB of storage and 3 users. Beyond that their pricing is very good.

Answer 13

I use beanstalk as well (http://www.beanstalkapp.com) on a large project and have found it reliable with a good web interface for managing repositories. It has very good integration with FogBugz and the price is extremely competitive. The TortoiseSVN client works well with Beanstalk so consider that as well.

Answer 14

Assembla works pretty well, but they are no longer free.

Answer 15

Have a look at Origo, seems they offer everything (for free) you are asking for:

• An SVN repository (with web interface)
• A project wiki
• An issue tracker with tag support
• A place to put your releases (ftp upload, API based upload)

It is both for open-source and closed-source projects. You can find more information in the FAQ.

I have never used this service myself, so unfortunately I can't give any additional info.

Answer 16

Have a look at Unfuddle. Has a svn or git hosting, ticketing, wiki, milestones, etc. Has a good integration of repository commits with ticketing system. I'm using it for my projects and it's great.
