You could restrict that key to be valid only from the IP address belonging to the client box, and it should be possible to restrict the key only to invoke a read-only svn server. I didn't try that with svn, though. For example, |from=127.0.0.1,command=svnserve -t ssh-rsa B3NzaC1yc2EBIwAAAQEAu0DKRi2tHpQcpFLuBqLvS/LbOnBTMlkprHuJSQeglX/LW1 in an authorized_keys file allows the key to only be used if the connection comes from localhost, and it _always_ invokes svnserve -t instead of whatever command was requested on the command line. This gives, however, read/write access to the repository. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

I have written a small post-commit hook for a somewhat different usage (the original problem was versionning the hooks themselves). It can surely be improved (eg. by only running svn update when the commit impacts the relevant part of the svn tree, like the gcc guys did in their own script). It only checks out (update, indeed) in a local directory, but it could probably be modified to have the svn update command run through ssh on the other machine. You will find it at http://ydirson.free.fr/soft/svn/svn-auto-checkout Documentation included in leading comments. Ideally, we would use some post-commit hook that causes the changed html file to be uploaded from svn.debian.org to alioth.debian.org, but I see two problems: - how to write the hook so that only specific files are uploaded, and put into the right location Those are the 2 parameters to the script. - how to authenticate the transfer, since the svn repository and the webspace is on different machines. https or svn+ssh to access the repo should provide the level of authentication you need, or do I miss something ?

I've been doing this for quite a while with a variety of SVN repos, with very different users and content. Here are a few things I've run into: - Ensure the correct locale setting is used, otherwise you'll run into trouble with non-ASCII filenames. For example, do export LANG=en_US if en_US defines the correct character set to use (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, whatever...) For optimal results, svnserve should run with the same setting as the checkout script. ;-) - Use the --non-interactive switch for svn up. - Use svn cleanup if there is trouble during the svn up. A situation where this is necessary Should Not Happen (tm), but it surely has for me. :-/ - Do a fresh checkout if the destination dir does not contain a .svn subdirectory. (Of course you could do this manually, but with lots of repos it's very nice...) - Consider putting a line use-commit-times = yes into the ~/.subversion/config of the user that does the svn up. That way, checked-out files' timestamps will be those of their last change, not the time of the checkout. I like to use this for websites maintained in SVN - it allows you e.g. to create appropriate page last changed on .. messages. BTW, it's not necessary to add locking to the script, AFAIK runs of the postcommit script will be serialized by SVN (at least for my libdb repos, dunno about FSFS!).

How to automatically update files on alioth from svn
Hi, I'd like to keep the files in the Project Home Page area of alioth in our SVN repository, and I'm looking for a way to automate the updating of these pages. Ideally, we would use some post-commit hook that causes the changed html file to be uploaded from svn.debian.org to alioth.debian.org, but I see two problems: - how to write the hook so that only specific files are uploaded, and put into the right location - how to authenticate the transfer, since the svn repository and the webspace is on different machines. Has anybody already set up something like this? Or should I simply put some syncing commands into my crontab on alioth and use anonymous SVN access? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.

Sounds easier for both (the specific files and the authentication). Disadvantages: some time-lag, and maintainance of the cron scripts.

I've done if for a number of projects (like buffy). You can have a look at the hooks in buffy to see what they do, and I'll summarize it here. To begin with, the webspace is an *anonymous* svn checkout of the files. Then: - how to write the hook so that only specific files are uploaded, and put into the right location In post-commit, I have: # Update the contents of the website if svnlook dirs-changed $REPOS | grep -q '^web/trunk/' then echo Thanks | mail -s Update buffy web pages, please [EMAIL PROTECTED] fi svnlook checks that the commit involve the web area. The mail asks haydn to call svn up; this is needed because the svn repo and the web pages are not in the same machine. - how to authenticate the transfer, since the svn repository and the webspace is on different machines. Then on haydn I have a procmail rule that sees the e-mail and calls svn up appropriately. Ask me again later if you need the procmail rule, as I can't get to alioth right now). If someone sends extra mails it's just idempotent svn up commands so it wouldn't matter. If you're concerned about DOS attacks, touch a file after doing svn up and don't do it again before one minute. Better ideas would of course be welcome.
