node-svnpubsub

Node-svnpubsub is a utility for keeping remote servers up-to-date on changes to an subversion repository.

Usage

Post-commit hook setup

Run commit-hook.js $REPOS $REV from your post-commit hook. If you're using a version of svn that calls the commit hooks in the same manner, you can also symlink commit-hook.js as hooks/post-commit.

The script looks for a config file in conf/hooks.json. It consists of one or more objects keyed by path prefixes to look for when deciding if a commit is published to listening servers. Each prefix requires the IP/hostname of the remote server; the port is optional and defaults to 2069.

Sample file:

{
	"trunk/": {
		"host": "192.168.31.41",
		"port": "12345"
	},
	"branches/twig/": {
		"host": "otherserver.lan",
	}
}

Listening server setup

Run svnsub.js. This creates a TCP server that listens on the port specified as the only argument, or 2069 by default. It looks for config.json in the same directory it's run from. The config is an object keyed by each repository the client will recognize. Each repository requires the following options:

• prefix: Folder path prefix to strip from affected files when exporting.
• localPath: Path where files should be exported to.
• repoPath: The script determines the repo host from the incoming connection, this indicates where on the server to look for the repo.
• repoPort: Port to use for the svn server when not 80.
• svnuser: SVN user to connect as.
• svnpass: SVN password for specified user.

Sample file:

{
	"repo1": {
		"prefix": "trunk/",
		"localPath" : "/path/to/export/",
		"repoPath"	: "repo1",
		"svnuser"	 : "me",
		"svnpass"	 : "123"
	},
	"repo2": {
		"prefix": "branches/twig/",
		"localPath": "/path/to/branch/export/",
		"repoPath": "twig",
		"repoPort": "8080",
		"svnuser": "me",
		"svnpass": "123"
	}
}
