Problems running svnserve as Windows service
Hi, I am trying to run svnserve as a windows service. At different places (like http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#svnserve-win-service) I found a very good description of what I have to do. Unfortunately, when I follow the description, I have no problems registering the Windows service (both on Vista and XP) but on both systems, I cannot start the service. The command I use for registering is: sc create svn binpath= "D:\cygwin\bin\svnserve.exe --service -r D:\SubVersionReps\Default" displayname= "Subversion Server" depend= Tcpip start= auto It seems to me that I have followed everything in the description. When I try to start the service I get the following error (both on Vista and XP): C:\>net start svn The service is not responding to the control function. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186. I have the same problem when I try to start the service through the GUI. It appears that nobody else has this problem, but I have no idea why this is not working and how I could find out, why it is not working.

What message if any do you have in Event Viewer? Are you running a Cygwin version of svnserve? Why not the standard Win32 client? There's no need to use Cygwin except maybe in some very specific situations, and in fact some weirdness happens when you do use it instead of native Win32.
Out of memory error while merging
Hi, I'm having a problem with our new SVN system. Initially I thought it was a problem with TortoiseSVN but after discussing it on their mailing list and performing the same actions in command line svn it seems the problem further up the pipe. Anyway, I'm getting Out Of Memory for this command: svn merge --non-interactive http://xxx/branches/Southwark_Permits "C: \xxx\trunk" System information: Server: Ubuntu Server 8.04 svn, version 1.5.1 (r32289) Client: Win XP SP3 32bit 4GB (3.25GB available) of RAM svn, version 1.6.9 (r901367) compiled Jan 21 2010, 22:00:47 Previous thread at TSVN: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=2461734 I've tested tortoise on two machines, a clean check out and merge fails (test merge succeeds) Command line test succeeds on my machine. I know that's not a lot of information to go on, but if somebody can show me how to get more info out of svn I can post it. Many Thanks, James.
Re: file /directory size on svnServer?

I don't believe there is a command, it's difficult to get an accurate answer
as each operating system has different overheads. If you are on unix then you
could try this one liner, just replace SVNURL with the repository url you'd
like to guess the size of.
svn ls -v -R SVNURL | perl -e 'my $total = 0; while(<>) { if( /^(?:\s+\S+)
{2}\s+(\d+)/ ) { $total += $1; } } my $svntotal = $total * 3; print "Total
file size: $total bytes, estimated checkout size $svntotal bytes\n";'
I'm estimating at least three times the size for the checkout (this is with a
1.5 client) based on one repository I have available but I had originally
guessed at twice the size plus a little for the administration directories
and found it way off. The total bytes will be off as well though as this does
not take into account filesystem overheads. In my test case the full checkout
was around 884mb as measured by du -bs, deleting the .svn directories
resulted in a size of 306mb yet summing up all the file sizes is 270mb
according to the script.

Yes, Subversion's exit codes conform to Unix standards in that regard. All this time waiting around and you could had just run a simple test to get the answer.

Implementing a 'deploy' script / webdav
Hi, I am using svn (webdav) and I need to allow the developers to request that updates are made in a staging server. Since the developers can't access the server from the console/ssh I'd like to create a system where the developer would list the files and request. My script would pull the requests and do a svn update and return to the user the output of the command. I do not want to reinvent the wheel so tips would be great. Thanks.

I suggest you use SVN::Notify::Mirror. Developers who wish to promote something to the staging server need only create a tag with a name of a certain format, and SVN::Notify::Mirror will deploy the contents of the tag to the right place.
Re: Implementing a 'deploy' script / webdav
hi ryan, thanks. I've looked but it seems to work only with ssh and does not mention webdav.

Re: Implementing a 'deploy' script / webdav
Hi, Just to make sure my 'requirements' are clear I have a repository (/repos) where I have several projects like clientA, clientB etc. They are all websites so the devel team (testers, layout etc) adds, removes, updates directories and files related. When they've reached a point where they need to show something for the client (or an outside tester) they need to 'publish' their modifications to a server (different than the devel one). For security and technical reasons (try teaching designers about ssh :) ) they are not allowed to access the remote server (staging). So now I have someone with a list of files that he does a svn update in the remote server. This is boring and takes one person for a mechanical job (automation! automation!). So my take would be: - create a simple app where the developer puts the name of the directory or files that he/she wants to be published in the staging server - another app will run from the crontab of the staging server and fetch the pending requests, do an exec svn (the args will be sanitized for security) and save the output Why webdav : essentially for the granularity of the access/auth control. I'd like to cut as many steps as possible so the request for feedback and/or code snippets for the app. I'll use php for both parts.

SVN::Notify::Mirror is what you want. There is no restriction on the method you use to serve your repository; svn://, svn+ssh://, http://, https:// should all be fine. If the machine where you want to deploy the working copy (the staging server) is different from the repository server, then the repository server must be able to reach the deployment server via ssh or I believe rsync.
Re: file /directory size on svnServer?
Thanks for your information would be helpful
but I am on Windows.
I separate using the output from svn ls -R --xml > size.xml
then apply xslt to sum size.
now I can estimate the size grows every day.
I use this statistic to help monitor detail working status on svn every day now.
I knew it would be 3 times space size to checkout from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/doc/user/svn-best-practices.html
but don't know the sequence flow (which generate first tmp or base or realfile
) when svn checkout.
