[Fwd: Setting 'auto-props' for the repository]

Does anyone know what could be causing the auto-props not to work?<br>
Is there any other tests that should be done?<br>
Thanks<br>

<pre>I created the /etc/subversion/config file on the linux server with the
following lines:
[auto-props]
enable-auto-props = yes
* = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords "LastChangedDate"
I then did a svn checkout of a project, created a file containing
$LastChangedDate$ and did an svn add and svn commit.
I then did a svn proplist on the file but nothing was displayed. I
deleted the local copy of the project and checked it out again and
checked the proplist but still nothing displayed. Also the file still
contains just $LastChangedDate$.
What should be changed?
Thanks

I believe the line should read as follows:
* = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=LastChangedDate
otherwise, you're trying to add a property called 'svn:keywords
"LastChangedDate"', which I'm sure isn't what you want. :-)

The 'enable-auto-props' variable is being ignored, because you put it
in the wrong section. It should be in the [miscellany] section, as the
template 'config' file shows.

Okay, FAQ done, thanks for the motivation:

oops - didn't mean to hassle you... Its nothing a
little cron job can't manage anyway, or maybe a hook
on add/commit...

Yes, yes, you're the 10,001st user to ask for this. There's already a
feature request filed for it. This is one of the most common questions
in IRC too. I think you've inspired me to write a new FAQ. :-)

I'll put my hand up as one of the confused...
I think a server-side config is needed. E.g. to
prevent the following scenario:
o Clients access the server using svn+ssh
o User A doesn't specify keyword expansion in his
config
o User B does specify keyword expansion in his config
o When User A adds a file (file A) to the repository,
keyword expansion is turned off for that file
o When user B checks out file A, keyword expansion is
turned off for file A.
Hence, someone is forced to run a script to turn on
keyword expansion for things in the repository if one
of the project members has added something while their
config is incorrect. This in turn implies that all
project members must make sure their config files are
kept in sync - very painful... A system wide client
config is only good if all the clients run on the same
machine, which we don't...

Others have been confused by this book text before. It's talking about
a "system-wide configuration area" -- but not on the server -- it's
talking about system-wide configuration on the *client* machine, as an
alternative to setting up dozens of configuration areas for each user's
homedir. Maybe we need to clarify that text somehow.

John,
This section of the 1.0 manual
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.0/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1.1
implies that there's server-side configuration. Maybe I misunderstood
but it is working.
