Run it once to see if it detects any changes, then run it again to actually do the automated commit. That lets you schedule it to run every 10-20 minutes, but it won't create a bunch of empty "nothing changed" commits. (I make heavy use of FSVS to keep track of config file changes and other config changes made to the server. Helps when trying to figure out what has changed on the server.) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It seems like you are approaching this backwards - whatever originates the changes should commit, and perhaps replace the rsyncs with updates at the other location(s). But, if you use subversion, it is smart enough to only commit actual differences so it wouldn't hurt to just schedule a fairly frequent commit at the top level. If nothing changed, the commit has no effect. The down side is that subversion wants a complete hidden copy under .svn in every subdirectory so the client can detect changes without contacting the repository. Viewvc is a good web server companion for subversion to easily browse revisions and do color-coded diffs. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Web based file versioning frontend
You could perhaps start your search surrounding inotify type monitors and tie them into some auto-commit... Something like what you're doing may run the realm of custom coding. Sorry I can't be of more help. On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Joseph L.

>Git and Gitweb? Thought of that, is there anything that can monitor for changes so I can avoid a commit command for every script, as they all dump to an already well organized tree, I was hoping to monitor the top level dir for changes and have it commit as they appear. Something like that exist? Thanks! jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Web based file versioning frontend
Hey guys, Need an opinion on what to use for file versioning text conf files that get updated by scheduled rsync's etc. Need something that can watch the file, so it doesn't need an explicit checkin, and can be diffed by a web front end. I haven't any preference on backend either. Thanks for any suggestions, jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
