The code in the FAQ is simply a way to get around the UNIX limitation on
setting the sticky bit. If you're accessing the repository through
apache (which you are, given the http:// protocol), and your web root
directory is actually a working copy owned by apache, you shouldn't have
to worry about this--just have the post-commit hook update the working
copy directly. You only need to set the sticky bit if you need
different permissions than you usually have.
And, if you really do need to use a sticky-bit binary, you can basically
treat the given code as a slightly munged shell script:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
system("/usr/local/bin/svn update /home/joe/public_html/");
system("/usr/bin/chown -R someone:else /home/joe/public_html/");
system("/usr/bin/echo 'Hello, World!'");
}
etc. Compiling is simple, since the code is simple--you don't need to
worry about libraries, etc. Just put whatever you want into a system()
call.
