Module::Release::SVK - Use SVK instead of CVS with Module::Release

This document describes Module::Release::SVK version 0.0.1

In .releaserc

    release_subclass Module::Release::SVK

In your subclasses of Module::Release:

    use base qw(Module::Release::SVK);

    use Module::Release::SVK;

  

Module::Release::SVK subclasses Module::Release, and provides its own implementations of the check_cvs() and cvs_tag() methods that are suitable for use with an SVK repository rather than a CVS repository.

These methods are automatically exported in to the callers namespace using Exporter.

Check the state of the SVK repository.

Tag the release in local SVK repository.

The approach is fairly simplistic. svk info is run to extract the SVK URL for the current directory, and the first occurence of '/trunk/' in the URL is replaced with '/tags/'. We check that the new URL exists, and then svk copy is used to do the tagging.

Failures are non fatal, since the upload has already happened.

Module::Release::SVK requires no configuration files or environment variables.
