rsvndump is a command line tool that is able to dump a Subversion repository that resides on a remote server. All data is dumped in the format that can be read an written by svnadmin dump, so the data which is produced can easily be importerd into a new Subversion repository.
Actually, a remote dump can be done using svnsync and svnadmin dump on the locally synced repository. However, if the remote server does not run Subversion 1.5 or later, svnsync is unable to dump subdirectories of a repository only. This can be solved by syncing the whole repository and using svndumpfilter afterwards, but data of other subdirectories needs to be transferred over the network for no reason. And if you don't have access to the repository root, the whole thing will not work.
Long story short: If you want to dump a subdirectory of a remote repository which runs a version of Subversion prior to 1.5, this is the right tool for you. If not, please consider using svnsync.
rsvndump is written in C and built on top of the Subversion API, so it can offer all functionality needed to access a Subversion repository, including SSL authentication. And it's GPLed.

AutoAP is a script that continuously scans for open Wi-Fi connections, tests them for validity, and connects to the strongest signal. If the connection is lost, the script scans again and finds the strongest valid signal again, and maintains a continuous connection to the internet in a mobile or portable environment. The script paremeters are highly configurable, including ability to configure secure connections.

AutoPatch was born from the needs of using an agile development process while working on systems that have persistent storage. Without AutoPatch, developers usually can't afford the maintenance headache of their own database, and DBAs are required just to apply changes to all of the various environments a serious development effort requires.
The very application of database changes becomes an inefficient, error-prone, expensive process, all conspiring to discourage any refactoring that touches the model, or being a bottleneck when model changes are made.
AutoPatch solves this problem, completely.
With AutoPatch, an agile development process that requires a database change looks like this:
* Developer alters the model, which requires a change to the database
* Developer possibly consults a DBA, and develops a SQL patch against their personal database that implements the alteration
* Developer commits the patch to source control at the same time as they commit their dependent code
* Other developers' and environments' databases are automatically updated by AutoPatch the next time the new source is run
This represents streamlined environment maintenance, allowing developers to cheaply have their own databases and all databases to stay in synch with massively lower costs and no environment skew.
That's what AutoPatch does.
Clusters with one database? Multiple schemas? Logical migrations, instead of just DDL changes? Need to do something special/custom? Need to distribute your changes commercially? All without paying anything? No problem.

Hier geht’s um dich. Denn du bist etwas Besonderes. Weil du auf regelmäßiges Bio-Backup verzichtest und Firewall statt Feierabend machst. Weil du NDS, ADS, NIS und LDAP nicht für politische Parteien hältst. Weil du bei "Tier" nicht an die afrikanische Tiefebene denkst. Du sorgst für Benutzerrecht und Datenordnung. Du spürst Idle-Faulenzer auf. Du bist der King of Anti-Hot-Locking. Du bist der Held des Systems.
