Perl interface leaks connections: ???

[Matthias Urlichs <sm...@smurf.noris.de>]

Hi,

this (admittedly very simple) script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SVN::Client;
my $ctx = new SVN::Client;

sub log_receiver(@) { }

foreach my $n(1..100) {
        $ctx->log("svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gnupg", $n,$n, 1,1, \&log_receiver);
}
__END__

... leaks connections: it opens a new one for every request, without
closing the old one. IMHO that's a bug, not to mention that I get
blocked by the server (understandably).

How do I use one persistent connection instead?
Does anybody have a workaround?

Perl interface: Creating data structures

[Matthias Urlichs <sm...@smurf.noris.de>]

Hi, 

I can now successfully open a SVN::Ra connection, get logs, and whatever.

Now I want to call stat().

        my $e = SVN::_Core::new_svn_dirent_t();
	# **Note: $e is not displayable in the Perl debugger ?! **
	$ra->stat($path, $revision, \$e);

=> Type error in argument 4 of svn_ra_stat. Expected _p_p_svn_dirent_t

Now if somebody could explain (and possibly document ;-) how to create (a
pointer to ?) a _p_svn_dirent_t object I can use there, I'd be very happy.

Thanks!

Thank you, that's helpful. After a bit of experimentation, this code works:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use SVN::Ra;
my $ra = SVN::Ra->new("svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gnupg");

sub show_log {
	# ... do whatever ...
}

my $latest = $ra->get_latest_revnum();

my $n = 1;
while($n <= $latest) {
	$ra->get_log("/",$n,$n,$n,1,1,\&show_log,undef)
#	         svn_ra_get_log(session,paths,start,end,limit,discover_changed_paths,strict_node_history,receiver,receiver_baton,pool)

} continue {
	$n++;
}


... which still leaves the fact that SVN::Client leaks connections,
but that's a bug for somebody else to fix.

Call the network API (svn_ra.h), rather than the high-level client  
API (svn_client.h).  In other words, open a single network RA session  
and call svn_ra_get_logs() repeatedly, instead of calling  
svn_client_log() repeatedly.
