Inappropriate?What do you mean by syncing? Do you want to checkout on the VPS or you want Beanstalk to show contents of your repository hosted on the VPS? If it's the last one, then unfortunately Beanstalk can't be used. We have different kind of application. You should look at Trac, it's great for this stuff. -
Inappropriate?If you're trying to mirror a repository hosted on Beanstalk elsewhere then you should look into the 'svnsync' utility that comes with SVN 1.4+. Beanstalk understandably doesn't allow arbitrary hook scripts so you'd probably have to poll the Beanstalk repo for updates. SVN::Mirror is a Perl module that might help you out as well, though I don't recommend it. You could also look into svk, and git and mercurial might have some mirroring support.
But I agree with Dmitry, if you're trying to use Beanstalk's beautiful interface to work with repositories hosted cheaper elsewhere you're out of luck. You'd have to replicate as many of beanstalk's features as you can some other way (viewvc, hook scripts, cgi that interacts with conf files, I don't know what else...). The default look for ViewVC is *ugly* but there are better templates in the ViewVC repository, especially those specialized for SVN, and with a bit of work you can get it to look a lot nicer. I don't have enough experience with Trac to make a similar recommendation there.
The result won't be as spiffy as Beanstalk but it might work.
I’m indifferent
