<blockquote>"4. Subversion (as a cross platform auto-patching solution): We use
Subversion for versioning control. The merits of version control on a
project are well documented. I am mentioning Subversion in the post mortem for
it's use as a backend to our auto-patching system. I wrote some Python scripts
that are able to build demo/full version distributions from the game's sources
and data files.

The scripts inspect assets like dif/dts to find out what files are needed. They
also open up the RPG Database to find out what textures, sounds, models, etc are
actually used. The scripts generate jpg files from pngs and do other operations
to get the file sizes down. Multiple SHA checksums are then generated for every
file and the results are stored in a manifest.zip file. The client keeps a cache
of local SHA checksums and connects to the game's Subversion repository which is
being served over SSL. It requests the manfest.zip and compares the SHA
checksums with the local ones. The client then downloads any missing or changed
files, verifies them once downloaded, requests the user to restart the
application, and then copies the new files into the install. It's all very anal
and has performed beautifully. It was awesome to painlessly patch users during
the beta process. I don't remember getting one complaint!"</blockquote>

This is, IMHO, something that should work with wine.  It's subversion for
chrissakes.  Anybody else getting SVN to work with wine, or am I doing something
wrong? Yes, I have tried without any firewalls.
