Re: SvnAdmin: impossible to load dump generated by "cvs2svn"

2012-09-10 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Julien,

a dump file is designed to work with the commandline pipe. So it might be that 
the binary transport might have changed something.
(if your sending os is different than suse)

A safer way to transport it is to tar it before sending it over the wire:

(1) cvs station
$ tar czvf dump.tar.gz 
Send the file via ftp binary.

(2) svn station
$ tar xzvf dump.tar.gz
Import via svnadmin.

If this still does not work, please send us the log files created by using 
redirects similiar to this:
$ svnadmin load /path/to/target/repo < dumpfile 2> /tmp/load.stderr > 
/tmp/load.stdout

Dump of subversion repository itself?

2012-08-03 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Hi,

I wonder if there is a dump file downloadable somewhere that contains the 
complete subversion code base. 
Would be a perfect repository for load/stress testing my subversion server;)

Re: one doubt on subversion

2011-01-25 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Vani,

subversion comes with a commandline client only. 
There are several Open Source and paid GUI clients out there.
On Windows, I mostly use TortoiseSVN (open source)
On OSX, I use Versions (paid).
On Linux, I mostly use the CLI.

For development, there's also several Eclipse and Visual Studio Plugins, for 
Eclipse I use subclipse and CollabNet Desktop.

For more, please see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Subversion_clients

Kind regards,
Volker

Hello sir,

I downloaded subversion-1.6.15, i installed all the dependency package. i built 
berkeley, built apache then configured subversion and built subversion.

after building subversion i Run the win-tests.py script to test Subversion.

now all the binaries are created, if i run svn.exe  
(C:\SVN\src-trunk\Release\subversion\svn) from command line it works.
I am able to see SVN commands on command line but not able to find svn GUI.

My question is i am not able to make GUI up, so please let me know how to 
create subversion-setup.exe file.

Re: How to get the client hostname while user committing the code to the repository?

2010-07-27 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Ramkumar,

the client and server information is part of the HTTP header information.
You could use apache's mod_rewrite to rout the call to an additional (warpper) 
script on the server to get this information.

Could you please clarify more about what information is to be displayed and how 
the use case scenario looks like?

Good luck with that!! If you're using a single protocol of access, such as 
ssh+svn or HTTPS, it's conceivable that you could adopt a wrapper to do 
something clever and deduce the hostname. But it seems awkward.
 
Why do you want this?
 



Re: Hello, please help subversion using

2010-05-28 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Alex,

the command to use to create a copy without svn metadata (if this is your 
intention) is:
svn export /usr/src/svn/php-3.2.0 /some/target/path

You're getting the error because you are trying to access the working copy, but 
due to the file:/// prefix subversion expects this to be the location of the 
repository itself.

Re: svn export on long paths failed

2010-04-23 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Hartmut,

Another reason I received this is that there were duplicate files in the 
subversion directory which are share the same name and extension but in 
different letter case (e.g. CHANGES versus changes). Windows FS is case 
insensitive by default.

Regarding the problem of using long pathnames, you might want to use the subst 
cli tool to reduce the length of the path string. This and some other ideas are 
described in 
http://superuser.com/questions/37737/extend-maximum-file-path-size-in-windows-7.

Re: Unsupervised svn import

2010-04-13 Thread Volker Kopetzky
Hi Tom,

svn version 1.6.5 supports them, at least in the CLI client.
'svn help ci' documents these options, I'm using them in my own bash importer 
script:

Global options:
  --username ARG   : specify a username ARG
  --password ARG   : specify a password ARG
  --non-interactive: do no interactive prompting


...works smoothely in versions 1.6.x and 1.5.5.

Dunno if they are available in subversion's PHP API, though :-D

Hey,

I need to do an unsupervised 'svn import' from within a php script run
in bash (so PHP CLI). The svn server runs on a different machine using
apache + webDAV.
I found that in previous versions (svn 1.2) that corresponding manual
indicates the use of --username and --password switches, but these have
diappeared since the 1.4 version.

Is there any reason for this, and or other means to do  an svn import
without user intervention?

Thanks in advance,
Tom Van de Putte
