One of my responsibilities at Aslan is the Linux SysAdmin. I’ve decided to replace my job with several tiny robots and take on the title of Linux Architect instead. One of the main things to manage is a subversion repository for each project we work on. Rather than keep documentation around for me to manually follow a set of steps for each new repo, I’m using the Bourne shell to write a script that will backup the existing site, create a repository, and make a login and password to use when accessing the repository though a local svn client.
Part 2 will show how to have a site automatically publish itself to the dev server on each commit.
For now, here’s some code for Part 1:
#!/bin/sh
echo "creating svn repository and moving files ..."
tar zcvf htdocs.tgz htdocs &&
svnadmin create repository &&
mkdir site &&
mkdir site/trunk &&
mv htdocs/* site/trunk/ &&
rm -rf htdocs &&
ln -s site/trunk htdocs &&
svn import site file://$PWD/repository/site -m "initial import" &&
echo "Who owns this directory?"
read owner
echo using ... $owner
chown -R $owner:$owner * &&
chown -R apache repository &&
# make apache hook for subversion
APACHESVN=/etc/httpd/conf.d/subv-$owner.conf
touch $APACHESVN
echo "" >> $APACHESVN
echo "DAV svn" >> $APACHESVN
echo "SVNPathAuthz off" >> $APACHESVN
echo "SVNPath $PWD/repository" >> $APACHESVN
echo "SSLRequireSSL" >> $APACHESVN
echo "AuthType Basic" >> $APACHESVN
echo "AuthName \"$owner\"" >> $APACHESVN
echo "AuthUserFile $PWD/subv-auth" >> $APACHESVN
echo "Require valid-user" >> $APACHESVN
echo "" >> $APACHESVN
echo "Supply a username for accessing the svn repository"
read svnuser
echo "thanks, how about a password"
read svnpass
echo "I'm using $svnuser and $svnpass"
htpasswd -bc $PWD/svn-auth $svnuser $svnpass &&
/etc/init.d/httpd stop &&
/etc/init.d/httpd start &&
echo "all done"
