how to get a new project on the links page?

Hi,

I'm developing a Metrowerks CodeWarrior VCS plugin for Subversion and 
I'd like to get my project on the links page 
(http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html).  How do I go about 
doing that?

At the moment, the plugin is Mac-only but I hope to bring it to Windows 
in the future.  Version 0.1 has been released and I'm busy working on 
version 0.2.  Guinea pigs welcome.

The URL is http://www.soundgeek.org/software/SubversionPlugin.html.

BTW, CodeWarrior (unfortunately) depends on the files being read-only 
in order to be considered unmodified.  I heard somewhere that 
Subversion 1.2 will support read-only checkouts.  Is this true and is 
there a timeframe for 1.2?

thanks,
stephen

Maybe. Except that your version number is missing a 1. prefix which *was* in
the announcement :-)

For the record: it's 1.1.2 which has been just released.

Perhaps this is a result of the announcement about 6 hours ago that 1.2
is now available :-)

I would've looked but the tigris.org webserver appears to be having a 
meltdown right at the moment (500 errors, java exceptions, etc.).

It won't let you edit them until you choose "edit" or "unlock".

Only when the user/plugin says "edit" or "unlock".

Always.

AFAIK.

I would think.

Directories are candidates for locking, AFAICT.

Let me read through the current locking documents and then post a real 
analysis to dev.  As Ben suggested, it may do everything I want but it 
also looks significantly more complex than what I am looking for.

If you don't mean files needing locks and signalling that by setting them
read-only, then I guess it's currently not planned.

But to say it won't be in 1.2, that depends on what exactly you expect from
Subversion, how easily that could be implemented and whether someone will be
taking up that task before then.

So, if you want something like this, could you define the expected behaviour
and have a discussion about that on dev@? That's the way we work on these
additions.

I'm thinking about behaviours+reasons like:
- In what respect does CodeWarrior (or your tool) treat read-only files
differently than read-write files?
- When should files be set read-write, when read-only?
- When is it ok to overwrite a read-only file?
- If a file is copied, does it retain it's attributes?
- Does that include read-onlyness?
- How do directories fall into this picture?

bye,


Erik.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that.  I've already deployed Subversion 
for my project and the rest of the company is coming on board in the 
new year.   I just figured I should speak up as soon as I noticed the 
issue.  Perhaps it is too late to get something in there for the 
initial 1.2 release, but the sooner people get thinking about this 
issue the better.

Will do.  Happy holidays,

Yes, the summary is correct if you look at the effect.

Me too, that's what I meant with "what you are missing to your
luck..." above. We only differ on how we'd solve the problem.

Remember your original question was if it is possible. It is. And I
explained how. Yes, the solution is not perfect. But if you really
need this kind of locking, I cannot believe that a bit of developer
frustration is reason enough to not deploy Subversion (presumed
everything else meets your requirements).

I am not sure I agree on the method. Unfortunately I am not able to
give a technical reason, it's just a gut feeling. Maybe I can answer
that after some sleep. Regardless, I suggest you bring your proposal
to the attention of the dev list.

Yes but as you point out below there is also an automated process that 
sets the mime type, so in effect the decision of whether a file is 
considered binary or not is based on a heuristic OR the mime type 
specified manually or by auto-props.

"Subversion runs a very basic heuristic to determine  if that file 
consists of human-readable or non-human-readable  content. If the 
latter is the decision made, Subversion will  automatically set the 
svn:mime-type  property on that file to  application/octet-stream"

But there is no way to use the same heuristic to set the "needs lock" 
property automatically.  I think there should be.  Rejecting commits 
with a pre-commit hook keeps the repository sane, but frustrates the 
developer because, well, it always frustrates the developer when a 
commit fails :).

For the same reason svn:mime-type is handled automatically (e.g. you 
could just use a pre-commit hook to reject the commit in the case that 
the mime type wasn't set properly for a binary file), the same ability 
is needed for svn:lock (or whatever the name was).  Manually needing to 
set properties on files is awkward, that is why the auto-props feature 
is present in the first place.  The more things that can be effectively 
automated the better.

Considering how close the current implementation is to being able to do 
this, I suggest a config option be added to tell subversion to handle 
the lock property automatically for all files that it would not do an 
automatic merge for.  That seems to cover the common cases for when 
locking is really more required than optional.

Regards,

Scott

It's the client. The client does all eol and keyword translation, and
it's also only the client that knows the concept of line-oriented diffs.
The server knows nothing about all this, and handles everything the
same.

The decision whether a file is considered binary or not is based on
it's svn:mime-type property, see
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.3.2.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.4
describes when svn:mime-type is set and how you can influence
automatically setting it.

As the cited book section explains, the internal heuristic looks at
the content and should usually do the Right Thing.

But what you are missing to your luck is being able to set a property
based on the value of another property. But as was said before, you
can now easily reject commits having binary files without the
need-lock property. And writing a script for the client-side that
looks for all binary files and sets this property shouldn't be to hard
to do, either.

	Benjamin.

Is it the client or the server that decides if a file is binary or not?
It would be nice if the client-side auto-props could be made to set 
this.  Instead of using a filename pattern, if there was a way to 
specify binary or not in the pattern matching that would be cool.

In Subversion's design, the server may not change any properties
without an explicit commit (because working copyies which think they
are up to date would break).

But you can easily install a pre-commit hook that is rejecting any
commit where not all binary files have that property set. Not the
perfect solution, but good enough.

In 1.2, will we be able to configure the server to automatically set this property for any file that is detected as binary?

We've not ever planned or discussed such a feature...

But, the UI for locking is very close to this.  If you attach an 
'svn:needs-lock' property to a file in your project, then when you 
checkout a working copy, the file in the working copy *will* be 
read-only.  Only by running 'svn lock foo' will the file 'foo' change 
from read-only to read-write.  After the lock is released, the file 
goes back to the default read-only state again.

This is our way of preventing users from editing unmergeable files 
without locking first (and possibly discovering existing locks, thus 
preventing time wastes.)  The theory is that users/admins would only 
set this new property on unmergeable files.  But if you want to set it 
on everything, that would work too, I guess.  You'd have a 100% 
read-only working copy.

He doesn't mean locking, he's looking for read-only checkouts (files are 
flagged read only by SVN when they are unchanged). This is a feature which I 
would also require... will that be in 1.2?

Subversion 1.2 will support locking. Currently development is still going
on, but a preliminary estimate for 1.2 is given on the Subversion website.
