Adding license text to files

[Jason Aubrey]

Hi All,

I'd like to use keyword substitution or something like it to
automatically append/update license information in a large collection
of files. In other words, I'd like the licensing information to be a
property of the file, but also appear as text in the file.  I can do
the former with properties, but can't see how to do the latter in some
automatic easy way. (Also, ideally, the license text in the file would
come from the property on the file. )

Is it possible to do this? I haven't yet deduced how to do this from
the svn book.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Jason

clients not supporting http?

[Jason Aubrey]

Hi All,

I recently set up svn over http for a project I'm involved with. One
user made the following complaints:

(1) Some svn clients do not support the http protocol.  This
is a common occurrence when a user builds svn from source.

Because the svn transport svn:// is the standard,
internal transport for svn, every svn client should
support it.

(2) When i attempted to download a single-file,
svn complained that the file name was not a directory
name and rejected the request.

Is this true, that "some svn clients do not support http"?  This seems
unlikely to me. And I found
no examples when I searched google. I believe this user is on a Solaris
machine.

Also, should he be having trouble downloading a single file?  I can address
this second issue
with him - I primarily wanted to get the list's input on the first question.

Thanks very much,

Jason Aubrey

apache configuration

[Jason Aubrey]

Hi All,

We are using svn over http and it was working perfectly until yesterday.
SVN is configured to
be served from the virtual host svn.webwork.maa.org on an ubuntu server as
follows:


ServerName svn.webwork.maa.org
DocumentRoot /var/www


 DAV svn
 SVNParentPath /var/svn
etc...

Yesterday, I added to the apache config file

Alias /pod  /var/www/wwdocs

AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html


to serve html versions of our pod docuemntation from webwork.maa.org/pod

That seemed to work fine, but it didn't occur to me to check svn commits.
But
today I discover that commits are met wtih the message

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Unfortunately, this is all apache's error.log tells me too,  This persists
even when I comment out the pod directive above and restart.
Also, checkouts work, webwork.maa.org/viewvc works, and the repos are
directly accessible over the web.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?

Thanks,
Jason

Re: apache configuration (solved, mod_include conflict?)

[Jason Aubrey]

Hi All,

I've "solved" this problem - it seems to have been caused by loading
mod_include. Commenting out

Alias /pod  /var/www/wwdocs

AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html


did not solve the problem, but commenting this out and disabling mod_include
did.  That seems odd to me; is it known that dav_svn and mod_include can
conflict like this?  I found this thread,

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2003-08/0508.shtml

<http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2003-08/0508.shtml>but the question didn't
seem to get resolved.

Thanks,
Jason
