[rancid] RANCID with SVN - Deleting Groups

[Jason Yates]

Hi All,



Can anybody tell me how to delete a group from RANCID when using SVN?



I've removed the group name from rancid.conf but I can't seem to delete it
from SVN. If I do rm -rf <NAME> the folder still remains in SVN. If I try an
svn delete <NAME> it returns svn: '.' is not a working copy



I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this with SVN, only with
CVS.



Any help is greatly appreciated.



Thanks

I'm not totally au fait with rancid but for me (on centos6 rancid from
epel)
[***@rancid]# cd /var/rancid/test
[***@rancid]# svn info | grep 'Repository Root'
Repository Root: file:///var/rancid/CVS
[***@rancid]# svn ls file:///var/rancid/CVS/test
configs/
router.db
[***@rancid]# svn rm -m"remove test group" file:///var/rancid/CVS/test

Committed revision 79.
[***@rancid]#

then just delete the directory.
Hope that's useful.

Vince

configs/
router.db
Committed revision 79.

$ cd /var/rancid
$ svn rm test
$ svn commit -m 'remove test group'

Should do the same thing. Either should work.

oddly it doesnt which is why I jumped though hoops.
[***@ancid ~]$ pwd
/var/rancid/
[***@ancid ~]$ svn info test
Path: test
URL: file:///var/rancid/CVS/test
Repository Root: file:///var/rancid/CVS

[***@rancid ~]$ svn rm test
svn: '.' is not a working copy
[***@rancid ~]$svn commit -m 'remove test group'
svn: '/var/rancid' is not a working copy

the working copies are i assume the group directories.
