#SUBVERSION SYNC INSTALL#
#SUBVERSION SYNC UPDATE#

One way to do this is by means of a LimitExcept section. If access is via Apache then the configuration file should distinguish between operations which alter the repository and those which merely read from it. Most GNU/Linux distributions use a default umask of 0022, meaning that newly created files and directories are readable by anyone but writable only by their owner. If svnsync accesses the destination repository directly via the filesystem or via SSH then it may be sufficient to ensure that the relevant user is the owner of the repository. For this reason it is desirable that write access to the repository be limited to the user that will run svnsync.

#SUBVERSION SYNC UPDATE#

If any revisions are committed independently then subsequent attempts to update the mirror will fail. Svnsync makes the assumption that it has exclusive control of the destination repository. svnsync cannot lose connectivity to the destination repository, therefore there is less chance of the repository being left in a locked state.Ĭreate an empty Subversion repository in the normal manner.

Access control is simplified because it can be achieved using POSIX file permissions.

In practice it is beneficial to run svnsync on the same machine as the destination repository and to access it directly via the filesystem: In principle svnsync, the source repository and the destination repository can be hosted on three separate machines.

Synchronise the destination repository with the source repository.

Initialise the destination repository for use as a mirror.

#SUBVERSION SYNC INSTALL#

Install a pre-revprop-change hook script in that repository.Create an empty destination repository.There are four required steps to the replication process: Method OverviewĪs of version 1.4, Subversion provides the svnsync for replicating repositories. The copy is to be located at /var/lib/svn/foo. Suppose that there is a Subversion repository that you wish to mirror at the URL. To create and maintain a mirror of a Subversion repository Scenario Specify a 'resource', the :action to be taken, and then the :timer for that action.Ubuntu (Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, Lucid, Maverick, Natty, Precise, Trusty) subscribesĪ resource may listen to another resource, and then take action if the state of the resource being listened to changes. This can be symbolic, like HEAD or it can be a source control management-specific revision identifier. revisionĪ branch, tag, or commit to be synchronized with git.

The number of times to catch exceptions and retry the resource. Notifies :action, 'resource', :timer provider :immediate, :immediately Specifies that a notification should be run immediately, per resource notified. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the very end of the chef-client run. The following timers are available: :delayed Default. A resource may notifiy more than one resource use a notifies statement for each resource to be notified.Ī timer specifies the point during the chef-client run at which a notification is run. Specify a 'resource', the :action that resource should take, and then the :timer for that action. Ruby Type: Symbol, ‘Chef::Resource’Ī resource may notify another resource to take action when its state changes.

ignore_failureĬontinue running a recipe if a resource fails for any reason. The system group that is responsible for the checked-out code. Default value: the name of the resource block See “Syntax” section above for more information. The location path to which the source is to be cloned, checked out, or exported. This resource has the following properties: destination See “Properties” section below for more information about all of the properties that may be used with this resource.

destination, group, provider, repository, revision, svn_arguments, svn_info_args, svn_password, svn_username, timeout, and user are properties of this resource, with the Ruby type shown.

:action identifies the steps the chef-client will take to bring the node into the desired state.

name is the name of the resource block and also (when the destination property is not specified) the location in which the source files will be placed and/or synchronized with the files under source control management.
