I'm currently using CVS at work, but would like to switch to
SubVersion, so I have decided to use SVN for a test project. Now I
just have to figure out how to make it wildly successful and easy to
use so everybody will want to switch from CVS ;-).
The project is for deploying builds, data files, and config files to
web and application servers. Since svn claims to handle binary files
better than CVS, it seemed like a good excuse to use it.
With hook scripts it seems pretty simple (and similar to CVS) to keep
a checked out copy of the latest version of the files in a directory
ready to be deployed to the test servers. At least that's how I
understand the docs.
The trick is, I would like to be able to use hook scripts to
automatically check out a copy to the production directory once it's
been tested and proven on the test servers. I'm not sure how to do
that. Is it possible to use a hook script to look for a particalur
tag/branch/copy and know that it means it's production ready? I can't
tell if this is possible from reading the documentation.
I don't mind if this requires an extra step such as
tagging/branching/svn copying, but it would be nice if the hook script
could automatically recognize the action and check out the latest
production-ready version into the production directory.
Thanks,
Barry Roberts
