I am nearly sure you need to do that. But you want to use svn anyway on your machine. You only need the svn program and not a server.

Good idea

I started a page here: https://dev.mobileread.com/trac/hub/wiki/FirstSteps

The thing about SVN is that paths (trunk, branches, tags, etc.) are not really filesystem paths, but paths as described in metadata. So there is no way to directly upload something to a SVN repository via FTP for example. However, if you use SVN, it's still as secure as FTP, because you are connecting via https (SSL) to your repository. TortoiseSVN and RapidSVN are two recommended Windows clients.

If you don't like to use SVN, you can also tar or zip your sources and upload the packed file via FTP. And if you like, I can move them from there locally to your SVN repository (using the appropriate SVN tools).

Give SVN a try, it really comes in handy when working with source codes

This is a great idea and i have added a few lines of codes in it (pdfscrib).

But I do not know if there is a bug tracker for the trac itself. At least it is not obvious (it should be accessible from the main hub page). This is my first wish.

My second wish is that in the auto generated part for a project, the link given for downloading a zip archive only downloads the last changeset. I have made a correction on my project (pdfscrib) that fits my needs (because r1 is empty).
There is probably a better solution and I am not sure of the extent of what I download (we don't want development branches).

Thanks again for the hub!

Alexander Turcic · 03-22-2008, 02:42 PM

Hi crepi,

Glad you like the idea! When you say a bug tracker for the trac, do you mean a bug tracker for tracking bugs related to the Dev Hub itself? This indeed could be added on the main Hub page.

I'll see if we can make a link that automatically creates a zip of the latest changeset. Currently, it's already possible to zip the changeset if you go to "Browse Source", click on "Last Change", and then select "Zip Archive" near the bottom.

crepi22 · 03-22-2008, 07:13 PM

For the first part, yes this is what I meant.

For the second, I am afraid this is the opposite. The original link that was supposed to give the zip of my project, only returned the last changeset (it was the license for me).
What I have put now returns the full project, which is what I expected but I had to change the provided link. eg path/changeset?format=zip&new=latest&old=1&new_path=%2F &old_path=%2F
instead of
path/changeset/latest/?old_path=/&format=zip
(example taken from Midori internet browser project).

Alex:

I'm having a strange problem over here. Basically changeset 25 'disappeared' and will not let users browse source through it using Previous Changeset. I had deleted an empty directory! The revision log link is the only way to get to see changeset 25.

Is there any way to reset 'revision 25' or allow/add for a link to Previous Changeset when you get the Forbiddend warning. Even I get that warning even though I have master priviledges.

Thanks!

Alexander Turcic · 04-02-2008, 06:36 PM

Wow, I admit I had to Google somewhat to find the cause for this problem. The problem (and cause for it) is described here: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5097

Basically, revision 25 is an "empty revision", identical to revision 24. This causes Trac to stumble when viewing the changeset.

Does this mean there is no "quick fix"?

I have a workaround, on my Wiki page, to browse from Changeset 24 and prior. Not elegant, but will have to do.

Thanks for figuring this out for me!

Alexander Turcic · 04-02-2008, 07:35 PM

I will compare the code with the current trunk of Trac and see if they came up with a fix.

Alexander Turcic · 04-04-2008, 04:12 AM

Nick, I applied the fix from Trac trunk and changeset view should be working now, also for empty revisions.

Kudos, Alex!

Works like a charm.

Thanks!

p.s. Do you know where I can find info on changing the directory structure i.e. moving existing (versioned) files into new directories. I currently have a "flat" filesystem for mobi2imp, but would rather have (new) 'src' and 'doc' directories. I tried to get this to work with 'move svn', but it didn't. That's how I got empty directories being deleted and that empty revision bug!

kovidgoyal · 04-04-2008, 09:16 AM

svn mv

Alexander Turcic · 04-04-2008, 09:27 AM

Hmm I would have thought the svn move operation would work here. Maybe you need to make the new dirs before moving the existing files/dirs?

Thanks, I tried 'svn move' using TortoiseSVN, but will try the command line 'svn mv'.

Here's to more empty directories being created!!!
