My Repository Transplant #

by why in inspect

I’ve moved all of my source code out of CVS and injected it all into a clean set of SVN repositories, along with a set of support scripts that should make it much easier for those of you following along. This encompasses RedCloth, MouseHole, Hobix, the (Poignant) Guide sources and development of Ruby’s YAML libs (aka Syck.) I’m next moving over the code to Hoodwink’d.

The repository can be accessed at: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/.

An RSS feed of changesets for of all my projects is at /index.xml.

Individual projects have feeds named after the repository name: /mouseHole.xml, /redcloth.xml, /hobix.xml, etc. These are really great looking feeds. The summaries contain a very nice glance at the changeset with links to diffs:

Hey _why – can you maybe please pretty please show us how you got your svn commit hooks to create such nice RSS ?

Damn _why, does everything you do have to look so incredible and clean?

Except I just realized those are about the lamest commit messages ever. I’ve got a few more changes, then I’ll add the support scripts to the repositories as well.

A few tools that may prove handy for committers:

  • rssfwd if you’d rather get these feeds as email. Anyone know if I can work out a text-only version of the feed? Possible with Atom?
  • feedshake or feeddigest to mix several feeds. (However, just noticed my feeds cause FeedDigest to throw an application error.)

T: I’m running 1.3.0. My Apache setup isn’t much.

 #  
 # Subversion 
 #
 <Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /opt/svn/repos
   SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl" 

   AuthzSVNAccessFile /opt/svn/etc/svn-authz 

   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Subversion repository" 
   AuthUserFile /opt/svn/etc/svn-users

   <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
     Require valid-user
   </LimitExcept>
 </Location>

The repository index is a Ruby script, though.

 RewriteRule ^/svn$ /index.rhtml [PT]

So then, inside /opt/svn/repos would be each individual repository: /opt/svn/repos/mouseHole, /opt/svn/repos/hobix, etc.

Hmm, so you are storing the passwords in svn-users rather than doing a passthrough to rubyforge, then?

You may want to disclose that on the signup page. And let people know that they will need to re-signup if they change their rubyforge password.

I think we can safely admit that we all are guilty of using very lame commit messages more often than we should. Not that I’m proud of it, but I want to come clean.

MenTaLguY: I noticed that the forms submit the raw info. I now have 2 rubyforge identities.

_Why: Can you put the relative link in the &lt;head&gt; of your pages pointing ar the RSS , please, so Firefox can see the RSS ? It looks like this: &lt;link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS" href="http://example.com/blog/index.rss" /&gt; It would be nice on Redhanded too… Thank you.

phil602: I’ve found that by beginning every commit message with a prepositional phrase, which is itself begins with “To”, forces an explanation of the why and not the what. Optionally, a what summary follows the comma, but of course, SVN is the true keeper of what. An example,

To lock in the flavors, installed a turkey deep fryer.
