Forum: Ruby on Rails ANN: svn_conf generator -- making "svn import" easy and fun

Rails make it easy to start a new application. At the same time, import
a new project into Subversion is not that simple -- there are quite few
files that should be ignored.

I used to manually remove added log files and tmp/cache, tmp/sessions,
tmp/sockets files after the import and then go through the painful
process of setting svn:ignore properties.

There is an easier way -- simply create .cvsignore files before the
import and svn will honor them.

I created svn_conf generator which will add a new rake task to your
project to automate this. I hope you will find it useful.

Instructions:

1. Install svn_conf generator

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com/
svn_conf_generator-0.0.2.gem svn_conf_generator

2. Generate svn_conf in a new rails project (not imported into svn)

./script/generate svn_conf

3. Run svn:configure task to create .cvsignore files

rake svn:configure

Sorry, I got spaces in the source url. This should work:

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com/
svn_conf_generator-0.0.2.gem svn_conf_generator

The url is still broken. Please see Wiki for instructions:

Thanks a lot for testing this. After Rails, rubygems requires a lot of
configuration. The problem is now fixed. This command should work:

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com 
svn_conf_generator

I had another error:

Attempting local installation of 'svn_conf_generator'
Local gem file not found: svn_conf_generator*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'svn_conf_generator'
Updating Gem source index for: http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com

-------

Later I found out that the generator is available via rubyforge:

gem install svn_conf_generator --remote


And this worked finally for me too.

I installed from rubygems..

> sudo gem install svn_conf_generator --remote
Attempting remote installation of 'svn_conf_generator'
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Successfully installed svn_conf_generator-0.0.3

Then on  new project...
> ./script/generate svn_conf

Then I did this...
> rake svn:configure

(in ...)
Setting svn:ignore properties:
svn: 'tmp/cache' is not a working copy
svn: 'tmp/sessions' is not a working copy
svn: 'tmp/sockets' is not a working copy
svn: 'log' is not a working copy
svn: 'config' is not a working copy
svn: 'db' is not a working copy
Done.

There seem to be no .cvsignore or .svnignote files anywhere to be found. 
Did I do
something wrong? or does this need to be run after svn import? (Which 
would seem to go
against the whole purpose of the thing).

seems you haven't checkout your svn project after you imported it ?
it works fine here..

I haven't checked it in either :) I thought the purpose of this was to 
create .cvsignore
files, so when you import it, it doesn't checkin files and directories 
that should to be
ignored.

Guess I was wrong.
