SVN-Notify-Mirror

NAME

SVN::Notify::Mirror - Keep a mirrored working copy of a repository path

DESCRIPTION

Keep a directory in sync with a portion of a Subversion repository. Typically used to keep a development web server in sync with the changes made to the repository. This directory can either be on the same box as the repository itself, or it can be remote.

NEW in version 0.038
Bugfix for Module::Build and Perl 5.10.0

NEW in version 0.037

Support generic ssh_options parameter (for trickier settings).
Require YAML explicitly
Depends on latest SVN::Notify

NOTE: Please use SVN::Notify::Mirror::SSH directly for all new installs. The compatibility feature to pass through ssh-* options will be removed in version 0.050. See the POD for more details.

INSTALLATION

Install Module::Build and then run:

$ perl Build.PL
$ ./Build
$ su
# ./Build install

PREREQUISITES (Optional and otherwise)

The only mandatory prerequisite is SVN::Notify (obviously), but the presence of several other modules will enable other features:

SVN::Notify::Config

        Permits a YAML config file to be used as the entire postcommit
        script, like the second example in the SYNOPSIS.

Net::SSH

        Required to use SSH to update a remote working copy.  See
        SVN::Notify::Mirror::SSH for usage of that transport method.

File::Rsync

        Required to use rsync to update a remote working copy  See
        SVN::Notify::Mirror::RSync for usage of that transport method..

        If you install any of these modules after installing
        SVN::Notify::Mirror, those features will be available immediately
        (though you can rerun the install in order to see the tests).

TESTING

If you have the optional Net::SSH module installed, you can test the SVN::Notify::Mirror::SSH subclass if you have the following configured:

a personal ssh key (located in the default ~/.ssh location);
your key does not have a password;
you have already used that key to connect successfully to localhost.

Normally, once you have a personal ssh key, you can simply do

$ ssh localhost

and respond to the prompt to add locahost to the list of known_hosts. If this is not true, answer 'N' to the prompt during ./Build.
