On hacker news today I came across a link to niden.net and his article on automated subversion backups.

The post includes shell scripts to help get you started.

Misc subversion commands and information vol 1

March 5th, 2010 |

Author: Terry Valladon

Keep in mind this is based on MY development and deployment environment, in your environment things will be a bit different.
{esc} = Press escape key.
{everything else} = Needs changed for your project or case.
Do not type # hash or anything after it.

Where it says “root> ” you may also assume “admin_user> sudo ” if you like to use protection.

Create new svn user:

	root> htpassd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd {username}
	# will ask for password twice

Create svn project:

	root> cd /path/to/svn/repo/root
	root> svnadmin create {project name}
	root> chown -R www-data: ./{project name}

First import for project:

	user> mkdir svn_{project}_core
	user> cd svn_{project}_core
	user> mkdir trunk
	user> mkdir tags
	user> mkdir branches
	user> cd trunk
	user> cp -r /path/to/existing/files/ ./
	# repeat for . files in root direcotry (.htaccess for example)
	user> cd ..
	user> svn import -m 'Initial Import' ./ http://hostname.or.ip/svn/project
	# system will ask for svn username and password

Checkout project to web location:

	root> su - www-data
	www-data> cd /var/www/sites/{project}/
	# directory must be blank, delete contents and . files if not
	# directory must be owned by www-data user
	www-data> svn co http://hostname.or.ip/svn/{project} ./

Create auto publish post commit hook:

	root> cd /path/to/svn/repo/{project}/hooks
	root> ls post-commit

  # if file does not exist:
	root> touch post-commit
	root> vim post-commit
		i
		#!/bin/sh
		/usr/bin/svn update /var/www/sites/{project} --username www-data --password ************
		{esc}
		:wq
	root> chown www-data: post-commit
	root> chmod +x post-commit

  # if file exists:
	root> vim post-commit
		:9999999
		o
		/usr/bin/svn update /var/www/sites/{project} --username www-data --password ************
		{esc}
		:wq

Test post-commit hook:

	root> cd /path/to/svn/repo/{project}/hooks
	root> su - www-data
	www-data> env - ./post-commit
	# errors will be reported

Add project to websvn:

	root> cd /path/to/websvn/web/root/include/
	root> vim config.php
		/Local
		o
		$config->addRepository('{project name}', 'file:///path/to/svn/repo/{project}');
		{esc}
		:wq
	# Load websvn in browser and see project.

Enjoy, I will post ‘Misc subversion commands and information vol 2′ in a few weeks.

Edits:

Fixed name of password file (was missing .passwd)
