change email notification

[Brian Krusic <br...@krusic.com>]

Hi,

I've been thrust into SVN and immediately given a task.

SVN has already been installed and now we have a need;

1) When a local folder has been updated via SVN, an email is sent out.
2) An SVN update is then triggered facility wide.

The second part could be fun to develop however I am hoping for some initial guidance to get started.

I've already installed ssh and cygwin on all XP clients so that I can do my normal Unix like remote admin.

Thanks in advance,

Bri-

Thanks for the info, I will check the book/contrib stuff.

I agree on the proper use of SVN however I will have to take a "wait and 
see" approach as leadership isn't something they want from me now.

For both this and the next task, you would use the post-commit hook.  
Hooks are described in the Subversion book. See http://svnbook.org.

There are a variety of scripts already written to handle email  
updates. See the contrib and/or tools directory of the Subversion  
source distribution.

Do you mean that you have a number of people with working copies on  
their own Windows XP computers, and when anybody checks in something  
from any computer, all computers get updated? If so, then have  
fun. :-) But that's not how Subversion is intended to be used, and I  
think you'll have happier developers and a more smooth ride if you  
use Subversion the way it was meant to be used, which is amply  
described in the aforementioned book, though you'll probably need to  
set aside a weekend to read it and understand it.

Shared network drives..... Have problems, such as when the network is down 
or in performance dealing with local file systems. Is there any way to use 
an "rsync -e ssh -avvH" step, rather than a pushed update?

Agreed. I'd be really scared about pushing changes out like this. You 
will be creating all sorts of odd merge situations. The correct place to 
handle this stuff is on the way *into* the repo, at commit time.

What is the workflow that needs this kind of operation?

So one person makes a change, and it immediately changes for everybody?

What they are asking for sounds like a shared network drive.  No svn needed...
