Questions
G'day. I'm a noobie trying to program in C. 1. Is svn resolved foo the same as svn resolve --accept working foo ? 2. Someone suggested creating a repository by installing DropBox on every computer and doing: svnadmin create ~/DropBox Does this seem like a workable idea (for those of us who do not know how to set up an svnserver or apache httpd)? 3. Are there any moves to incorporate a keyword such as $GlobalRev$? 4. I've managed to get keyword substitution working. But once it's working, how do I turn it off for that file type? eg Create myfile, containing $Id$ svn add myfile svn propset svn:keywords "Id" myfile svn ci -m "Turn on Id keyword" myfile svn up cat myfile # Id is replaced Now, how do I turn it off? TIA, Richard

"svn help resolved" says yes: Note: this subcommand does not semantically resolve conflicts or remove conflict markers; it merely removes the conflict-related artifact files and allows PATH to be committed again. It has been deprecated in favor of running 'svn resolve --accept working'. > 2.

I would suggest you not do that. That would allow any user to do anything to your repository (bypassing any security restrictions or hooks you may want to use) -- even delete the entire repository with one or two keystrokes (intentionally or accidentally). Set up svnserve or httpd instead. The book explains how. http://svnbook.org/ > 3. Are there any moves to incorporate a keyword such as $GlobalRev$? Not that I know of.

Using SVN to develop a website
Hi, I need help on a setup for SVN. I want to use SVN to develop a website, in a way that when one of our remote developers commit a change, the files is copied on a specific folder, located on the svn server (like /var/www/site). Is there any page/faq indicating how to do this? I understand that the best way would be to add it at the post-commit hook, but I don't know exactly what to add to the script. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Roberto PS: I'm using svn version 1.5.1(r32289), installed from debian packages, on a Debian 5.0 (somewhat old Debian, I know, but for now I need to use this version to make sure there are no compatibility problems between the development, approval and production servers). -- - Marcos Roberto Greiner Os otimistas acham que estamos no melhor dos mundos Os pessimistas tem medo de que isto seja verdade James Branch Cabell -

Be advised that there are security fixes included in later 1.5.x releases in addition to the usual bug fixes, and when Subversion 1.7 is released (the first alpha came out a few days ago) support for 1.5.x will end.
Re: SVN Best Practices
The site has very useful information and basically the core part of my document. I do appreciate the posts. Just curious if there is anything else that is normally seen in the industry that wasn't applied to that site. Seeing how this is the SVN user group I would hope that the site is updated, but wanted to verify. Again thank you Andreas and Daniel. I'm rather new to SVN and very happy with the direction it's going and support from the community.

RE: Index of Subversion add-on projects and products
I checked out the Resourcey web site that Itamar suggested. Couple of issues: 1) The site is still in "beta", and 2) It doesn't seem to be heavily used. There are only 6 attached resources and only 2 of them (TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN) are project/product add-ons; the other links are to mailing lists, CollabNet, and the Subversion book. I was thinking about starting a community server for Subversion and wanted to see how much interest there would be, or if something already existed, before I started. As for Googling, I was thinking it would be nice to help with the discovery process. It's fine to Google if you know exactly what you're looking for, but what if you don't know exactly what you're looking for and just want to browse around and see what's available. Maybe you'll find something that looks interesting, that you never heard of, and you want to check it out. Google wouldn't help you with that. What do you think? Would people on this mailing list find something like that valuable?

Re: Index of Subversion add-on projects and products
I would find something that you're mentioning and that Ryan sent useful. Would be nice to resurrect the space from the subversion project and have a few people such as yourself maintain it.

Re: Index of Subversion add-on projects and products
There is {c,}wiki.apache.org. If the PMC is willing to request a wiki,
such a list could be maintained there.
(I say "If" because the PMC has to accept the oversight duty. A dev@
thread would be needed to determine that.)

Also interesting in this context: in svn <= 1.6 one can only make things sparse with directory granularity (i.e. you have to include/exclude entire directories, you cannot do this with individual files). In the upcoming 1.7 version, I believe it will be possible to exclude individual files. I'm not sure this will help you accomplish what you want, but somehow it sounds relevant :-). -- Johan

The wikipedia page for Subversion has some info in it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion More importantly, it links to this page that has even more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Subversion_clients Why not just use these pages and possibly even create additional pages on Wikipedia that list the various tools that work with Subversion (assuming we do not want to cram everything on the page devoted to clients)? -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/

Oh. In that case, definitely don't do that. Great way to get everything out of sync very quickly. I was thinking that it would be more like a SMB or NFS file share, which is what my previous reply was addressing.

You would manually edit the file and put "$Id$" back into it, if that's what you want. If you anticipate needing this often, you could write a script to do so. (But why do you want "$Id$" in your files but not expanded?)
RE: Index of Subversion add-on projects and products
I can see why the Subversion organizers stopped maintaining the list internally. I wonder if there would be any interest in a community server and/or wiki where various projects and vendors could post their information, and a forums server where people could discuss tools individually. I think it would be nice to have all the information in one place instead of having to Google all over for it. -Original Message- From: Ryan Schmidt [mailto:subversion-20...@ryandesign.com] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 5:37 PM To: k...@timpanisoftware.com Cc: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Re: Index of Subversion add-on projects and products On Jun 10, 2011, at 17:09, wrote: > I was wondering if there is some sort of global list of Subversion plug-ins, etc., including both open source projects and commercial products. > > For example, it would be nice if there was a unified list of all the different svn clients, integrations with build systems, etc. The Subversion project used to maintain such a list but it became unwieldy and was deleted.
