Multiple repositories with mixed directories (newbie)
Hi all,
I've been reading and asking on irc #svn/google about a problem I have
with understanding svn and my CMS.
I've got a modular CMS (content management system), with a directory
layout like:
css
css/modules
css/modules/page
css/modules/product
HTML
HTML/modules
HTML/modules/product
HTML/modules/page
index.php
js
js/modules
js/modules/product
js/modules/page
So in this example you see (some of) the directories of the cms. You see
I've got 2 modules: page and product. The source files are spread over
multiple locations/sub-directories.
The source for the page module is spread into:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
css/modules/page
js/modules/page
HTML/modules/page
...etc....
The source for the produduct module is spread into:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
css/modules/product
js/modules/product
HTML/modules/product
Now, I want to start using svn, so I can checkout revisions/releases of
a individual modules. For example, I want to be able to only checkout
the product module, or the page module.
Sadly I can't change the directory layout. (I've got my reasons.... ) As
this is probably a general problem more people have I hope some of you
could help me to fix this problem.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Roxlu

Ah, thanks Ryan! I hadn't grokked that distinction, but I
experimented a bit. That makes good sense now. Thanks,
Kylo

That's not how you're supposed to accomplish that. I was under the
impression that you have now created, for example, a working copy
modules which is unrelated to the css working copy containing it, and
the same for each module.
What I think you want instead is:
svn co -N css css
svn up -N css/modules
svn up css/modules/$mod
That way everything is still seen as a part of the single css working
copy.

Diederick,
Fwiw, another idea is to write a checkout script that knows the format
of your repository, and does non-recursive checkouts of the upper
directories, followed by a normal recursive checkout of the
leaf/module directories. I had to do something like this to get
support for cvs-style modules with subversion.
Something like:
#!/bin/bash
mod=$1
svnroot=svn://server/repos
svn co -N css css
svn co -N css/modules css/modules
svn co css/modules/$mod css/modules/$mod
<repeat for HTML and js in your example below>
A possible downside to this is that the non-recursive checkouts of the
top directories *will* pull the files in each of those directories.
YMMV.
Best regards,
Kylo

Hi Ulrich,
Thanks a lot for your reply. At least I know now it's just not possible.
I can't change the layout because I've created a couple
applications/script which use the current layout to create 'installable'
versions of the website. Also in the code I refer to some paths which
would be a enormous job to fix.
I'll just create one repos than where all the modules are put in.

Hi Uli,
Someone suggested me to use 'authz' to define a set of directories for
each module. For each set I would need a different user (which resembles
a module).
That seems to work (?!)

Nothing. Your 'modules' are not really modular since they are mixed with each
other. Since SVN works on a per-directory layout but you would need to select
single files from within different directories there is nothing you can do.
I could argue about why and how you could rearrange your code, but if you are
unable or unwilling, that doesn't help.

If you work on unix/linux, couldn't you solve the problem thanks to symbolic links ?
