External KMC Repository with versioning?

Hi there,

I am searching for a solution for a specific versioning requirement in KMC (Portal 7.4)

* Repository should support versioning with Check in / check out

* underlying storage not in portal DB but in a filesystem (very very large amount of data planned)

Possible solutions:

1. standard CM repository manager won't work: Versioning - but uses portal DB

2. file system repository manager with windows file share won't work: No versioning

3. WebDAV repository manager might work: Versioning works if the connected WebDAV server supports versioning

3.a Microsoft IIS as WebDAV server does not support versioning

3.b May be a subversion server can serve as a WevDAV server with versioning support

Question:

Is 3.b a possible solution?

Are there any other possible solutions?

Best regards

Ingo

Yes, it should. However, you should use Apache+Subversion server, not svnserve. I've been reading docs about version control for some time and can say that Subversion is actually "WebDAV aware" because it uses mod_dav (mod_dav_svn) Apache module: See the Version Control with Subversion book: Appendix C. WebDAV and Autoversioning.

I'm not sure about the below requirement, but Subversion should work with any amount of data AFAIK.
