RE: Multi-project repository setup and svn load problem

Did you do:
 
svn mkdir /DEV
svn mkdir /DEV/Audiocontrols
 
before attempting the load? You have to have the directory hierarchy already in place in order for it to work.

Hi Dale,

Thanks for the reply but that's exactly what I had tried earlier too, I got the same error as:

svnadmin: Error opening db lockfile

svnadmin: Can't open file '/usr/local/SourceBases/subversion/ISDevelopment/DEV/Audiocontrols/locks/db.lock': No such file or directory

Here is the cmd I used:

[subvert@testls52 subversion]$ svnadmin load /usr/local/SourceBases/subversion/ISDevelopment/DEV/Audiocontrols --parent-dir DEV/Audiocontrols < /usr/local/SourceBases/subversion/dumps/full.dump

Where DEV/Audiocontrols is the folder hierarchy I need to maintain. But I am confused as to what should I use as the virtual root name (--parent-dir DEV/Audiocontrols)

I even tried using only Audiocontrols but it didn't work.

I was thinking that the only option is to create repository within a repository to achieve what I needed.

Any other suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks

Praful,

Look at http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-09/0771.shtml. svnadmin load --parent-dir <arg> is your friend.

Subject: Multi-project repository setup and svn load problem

Hi,

I am trying to set up a multiple projects single repository layout for some of our projects. Here is a sample layout of what I need:

/Development (repository root)

            /DEV

                        /Project A

                                    /branches

                                    /trunk

                                    /tags

                        /Projects B

            /QA

            /PROD

/Development is the root for the single repository which has the project folders /DEV, /QA, /DEV/Project A. I have this repository layout already setup. I tried to follow the steps outlined in the svn book pages: 100-101.

I have dump files from different repositories and I need to load them up as Project A or Project B. But whenever I try to use svnadmin load it gives an error stating:

svnadmin: Can't open file '/DEV/Project A/format': No such file or directory

I tried copying the format file into the Project A folder but then it gave me another error:

svnadmin: Error opening db lockfile

svnadmin: Can't open file '/Development/DEV/Project A/locks/db.lock': No such file or directory

It seems that in order to do something as outlined in the book, you need to have the target setup as a repository rather than a project folder. Is this true or am I missing some steps?

I tried using svn import by setting up a temp repository for Project A and then trying to import it into the layout but it failed again giving the same error.

Plz advise on how to load dump files from different repositories in to a multi-project repository where there are projects folders rather than being a repository within a repository setup.

The server is setup on a Unix box and running svnserve.

Thanks,
