Hallo!
About two months ago I announced a CGI for repos administration. (look
at http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgId=207634
for my original announcement).
Well, it took somewhat more than the estimated two weekends. But after
a lot of hacking (script have grown from 300 to 1400 lines) on my
christmas holidays, I think the time has come to release it to the
community.
Maybe someone could add it to the tools subdirectory of the
subversion repository? Since it is a CGI as well as a hook-script, I
am not sure whether it belongs to tools/cgi or to tools/hook-scripts.
Maybe it should get its own directory, so I could split it into
several pieces/modules?
The question is whether I should post it directly to the list (about
1300 lines) or should I rather mail it to a specific person with
commit permissions who will commit it into the repository?
Here is a short description of the functionality of the script:
With this CGI you can do most of the day-by-day administration of your
subversion server without the need to log into the server. You simply
fire up your favourite www-browser and go ahead.
With this CGI it is also (fairly) simple to set up networked repositories.
Features:
- You can create new repositories. When creating a new repository, you
can choose one of the (previosly defined) templates for this new repos.
The template defines any initial files, directories, property settings
and pre-commit/post-commit definitions (such as access permissions
and commit-email).
- You can add/delete users to the svn-passwd and change their passwords.
Every user can change its own password, of course.
- You can define which users have access (read/write) and which ones have
administration permissions to which repositories.
- The CGI registers itself as [pre|post]-commit-hook. This way it is able
to implement access restrictions, send commit-emails and do
database-backups after every commit.
- You can browse/edit commit-logs in a (IMHO) more convinient way than
tweak-log.cgi does.
- You can quickly browse which changes any commit does to the repository.
- It is already prepared for support of different languages (currently
english and german).
