SVN Feedback

[Cairenn]

Compliments, problems, suggestions, etc. Feel free to post 'em.

Just an FYI more features will be added over the next few weeks like...

• Listing Team members on file info page
• Showing SVN info on file info page
• Allow Team members that have make zip access to also have access to the normal edit screen.
• Options to allow team members admin/limited access to the leaders portal
• Some CSS fixes and tweaks to the webSVN area
• Latest beta files list/rss

We just felt that the current state of things it would be beneficial to every one to open it up to every one now. We also welcome your feedback.

http://www.wowinterface.com/svn.php? doesn't sort the rows, so if you have a large amount of addons it's hard to find the ones to enable SVN projects for. When building the ZIP, an option to set the change log to the last X logs pulled from SVN would be nice.
Besides those two things, it looks pretty good.

[Dolby]

Should probably add a way to minimize and expand the list too so you don't always have to look at it.

If someone wants to updload a new UI, do they have to use this svn thing, or is this mostly for addon authors?

This is really for addon authors. If your uploading compilations the best way is to continue to use the upload/edit forms like normal.

Thanks for the fast reply

Fix breadcrumb "wowinterface" link in svn options. It should link to svn.wowinterface.com

Add option to rename svn

[Maul]

If possible, I would like the option to have my commit comments auto-post to the project.

A note for people out there... unless this has already been fixed...

When you go to create a zip, make sure you select push live or delete before you leave the page. If you don't you won't be able to create another zip till you cancel that, and there's no way to get back to the page to cancel it, yet.

There is an option to reset the lockout in the Misc Options area now.

I'll tweak the FAQ accordingly!

How do we add libraries? When I try to manually add my library files to the directory and choose SVN Add I get this error: Error: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\MorgDKP WOWI SVN\trunk\libs\LibBabble-Zone-3.0\LibStub' is already under version control

You're not doing it correctly. You can't add a file that's already under version control. That means you can't just copy files from one SVN to another.. you need to import them properly, making sure there isn't already an .svn directory.

DOH! Your right thought I got rid of all the SVN folders:P

[Mikord]

This is an excellent addition to WoWInterface. Thank you to all those who worked to implement it.

One suggestion I have is to install a pre-revprop-change hook to allow svn:log updates to correct commit log errors.

The typical command to do this is:

svn propset --revprop -r <revision> svn:log "This is the corrected log message."


For a linux type of environment, the hook could look like this:

#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
USER="$3"
PROPNAME="$4"

if [ "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi

echo "Changing revision properties other than svn:log is prohibited" >&2
exit 1

It would need to be named pre-revprop-change and made executable. It is typically located in a svn/hooks directory.

This hook would allow the svn:log unversioned revision property to be changed (with appropriate user/pass permissions of course) and disallow changing any others thereby allowing log updates without compromising other properties.

When pushing a beta zip, any changes made to the description/changelog will not take.
