Hi there,
I'm currently implementing commit hooks and struggling with the python
bindings. I took the contributed pre-commit example which uses the "svn"
python module which maps more or less directly to libsvn functions.
Background: We want to enforce certain global ignores, MIME types etc.
The most coherent way should be to just read our default .svn/config
file and verify against it's settings. BTW: Has anybody done something
similar already?
Back to python: I managed to use the Python bindings to get a value from
the config file (I didn't want to reinvent the wheel) like this:
***
from svn import repos, fs, delta, core, client
def main(pool, repos_dir):
# for now, store client configuration in repository root
cfgfile = repos_dir+'/conf/client.conf'
svncfg = core.svn_config_read (cfgfile, True, pool)
global_ignores = core.svn_config_get (svncfg,
core.SVN_CONFIG_SECTION_GLOBAL, core.SVN_CONFIG_OPTION_GLOBAL_IGNORES, None)
***
Now I'd like to verify our default set of required MIME types, so I need
to get the contents of the [auto-props] section from the config file.
libsvn provides the following function which should be suitable for my
needs:
svn_config_enumerate2(svn_config_t cfg, char section,
svn_config_enumerator2_t callback, void baton, apr_pool_t pool) -> int
Two questions arise:
1. How do I define an appropiate callback in Python? Looking at the SWIG
documentation, I see examples on how to implement Python callbacks but
they don't seem to match the current SVN bindings. I tried passing a
Python method, deriving from svn_config_enumerator2_t etc. -> Segfault.
2. What's the baton good for? Is it just some kind of additional data, I
don't need to care about?
Maybe the devel list is more appropiate for such questions, but I wanted
to try here first.
Thanks,
Tino.
