[rancid] RANCID & SVN

[Gordon Ross]

Hi,

I'm looking at using rancid, and I would like to use it with an SVN
repository. The web page for rancid says it works with SVN, but I
couldn't see anything on how to get rancid to use SVN.

A quick google revealed
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-February/001358.html
which doesn't seem to apply to the current version of rancid.

BTW - are there any docs for rancid other than the man pages ?

Thanks,

GTG

./configure --enable-svn

I also found it beneficial to modify the source file "rancid-cvs.in"
on line 80 as such:

# Top level CVS stuff
if [ ! -d $CVSROOT ]; then
if [ $RCSSYS = cvs ]; then
cvs -d $CVSROOT init
else
svnadmin create $CVSROOT --fs-type fsfs
fi
fi

I chose the fsfs type because I kept having to recover the db due to
umask issues in the Berkley type db.

It has worked flawlessly since.

Regards,

There is no mention of svn in configure. I'm using rancid 2.3.1 Do I
need to use the alpha release ?

./configure --enable-svn
