No, if you do an "svn co http://svn.server.com/svn/configs/trunk asterisk" in /etc, it'll make a folder called asterisk in your /etc directory. Once that's done, any modifications made that are committed to the server can be downloaded into /etc/asterisk by running "svn up" inside the directory.

Might need to get your brakes checked if you keep hitting walls :)

I've hit a wall already, where the subversion docs say that your files _must_ 
go into a directory called trunk(huh? What's with that?). That's going to break 
Asterisk, who obviously wants conf files in /etc/asterisk.
Grrrrr.

The first situation you mention can be solved by creating separate files that 
contain the unique elements, and then including them in the main files where 
all the commonality is.  That is how we do things, and it works well for us.  
It may be a little cumbersome if you have a *lot* of uniqueness, but if you 
really want to share a significant portion of the configs this is the only way 
I know of to do it.

As for revision control, we use Subversion with a branch for each server 
containing the unique files.  All of our configuration scripts also include 
automatic checkins of changed files (we can always revert if need be).  It also 
makes it easy to spot changes if something goes wrong, as an svn diff will tell 
you.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Config Revision Control


Has anyone got any neat solutions for Asterisk .conf file revision control?

We have multiple Asterisk boxes here, that we'd like to maintain a _mostly_ 
common set of conf files on. They aren't all the same though. There's subtle 
differences. For example, in sip.conf, iax.conf etc, the bindaddr setting is 
different. Dundi.conf is very different between each system.

At the moment I have a file tree on a separate server, and I use the m4 
processor to replace certain unique sections of the files. I have a bunch of 
scripts to build sip.conf etc and then rsync the files out to the servers. It 
works, mostly, but it isn't elegant.

I'd like to revision control all this. I don't know how it could be done with 
revision control though. As I said, not all the files are the same. I don't 
know if we'd run a version control client on each Asterisk box, or if we'd run 
it centrally, and then use rsync again, to copy the files out.

Doug.
