Plugin for SVN checkout

[somekool <[email protected]…>]

I have this Action various times for multiple svn repository. I need bcfg2 to check out and update SVN repository on my servers. There is some stuff I simply don't need to package as a RPM. and Having BCFG2 check them out for me. is great.

<BoundAction? timing='pre' when='always' name='checkout_mrepo' command='if [ -d /opt/mrepo ]; then (cd /opt/mrepo; svn up -r123); else svn co -r123 ​https://svn.host.foo/svn_repo/mrepo/trunk /opt/mrepo; fi;' status='ignore'/>

this could be specified with something like

<BoundSvnCheckout? name='checkout_mrepo' svnpath='​https://svn.host.foo/svn_repo/mrepo/trunk' svnrev='123' directory='/opt/mrepo'/>

thank you

I also would love this functionality, however I think for implementing we should look into using a vcs abstraction layer that would may the plugin work with svn and a bunch of other (distributed) version control systems.

Candidates look like:

• anyvc - ​http://pypi.python.org/pypi/anyvc
• pysync - ​http://code.google.com/p/pysync
• pyvcal - ​http://code.google.com/p/pyvcal
• pyvcs - ​http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyvcs

At first glance solj liked anyvc ( ​irc conversation).

I'm gonna try and get this done in 1.2.0.

Still need to test the svn side of things but an initial attempt at this is in 41edd7fddc7cb53d0fe3880c7707eb0f58879e59.

This still needs testing, but will be included in 1.2.0.
