One of the major obstacles I'm having though that after I checkout a working copy of SVN, how do I connect it to my projects repository? SVN externals works great for plugins, but not for Wordpress because it wants to put Wordpress in a sub directory of public_html (www, or whatever it is on a persons server. Anyone know of a solution? Hey – awesome article. One of the major obstacles I’m having though that after I checkout a working copy of SVN, how do I connect it to my projects repository?

Do you know of a way to maybe create SVN specific symbolic links or some such approach? Maybe have a local WordPress trunk which all other websites refer to, this way they won't have to go through over the web to fetch updates and updating the common WP install is much faster (though the changes would not be pushed out automatically, after updating the common WP install, you'd still have to run svn update on the other websites).

Kudos to the dev’s for such a quick turn around, unlike some unnamed big company who would only patch on the holy Tuesday day of the month. Just updated 4 of my WP blogs with svn switch, and all FOCUSer.net blogs using a new Gentoo ebuild. However I wonder how many WP installations out there are still running the old code which contains security vulnerability?

I checked out the wordpress code and some plugins from svn directly instead of downloading the latest release, this way I can update to newer versions buy doing ’svn update’. I also installed the newest version of the wp-hashcash spam prevention tool. It forces browsers to do some javascript calculations using a randomly seeded number (chosen every 4 hours on the server side). If the comment doesn’t have the correct value in the form then it is rejected. I had this installed wp-hashcash previously, but there were problems with the installation, this time around I hope it works. Otherwise I’ll write it myself! We use this method for spam prevention at StreetEasy and it appears to be 100% effective so far.
