Hello,

Is this the new place of SVN Monitor forum? I have not come here
before...

Here is my question:
Is it planned SVN Monitor to be able to deal witth SVNListParentPath
directive of Apache?
If this were possible, one could enter
http://repos.path/project/svn/
only instead of
http://repos.path/project/svn/software/
http://repos.path/project/svn/hardware/
http://repos.path/project/svn/mechanics/
http://repos.path/project/svn/manuals/

Regards,
Ivan Cenov

Hi,

The old forum is no longer active until the new web-site is online.
This is the new forum.

I am not familiar with SVNListParentPath.
Can you please describe the motivation?

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi,
Here is the idea:

Let there is several projects that an organization runs. Each of these
projects
has so called a project directory, and in this directory reside its
repositories.
One repository stores software part of the project, another one stores
mechanical drawings,
another one stores hardware schematics, another one User & Service
manuals e tc.

Using SVN Monitor, one (par example a project manager) should create
sources for each of
these repositories. The number of the sources increases meaningfully
if there are several projects.

So, if the repositories were served by Apache Server (using
<Location></Location> directive),
and SVNListParentPath directive were turned on, then Apache server
could return the list of the repositories
that are in the server's directory. This list very simple, in HTML
format, and SVN Monitor could read it and
discover the names of the repositories.
An example of such list follows:
---------------------- start of the example -----------------------
<html><head><title>Collection of Repositories</title></head>
<body>
<h2>Collection of Repositories</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="admin/">admin/</a></li>
<li><a href="archive/">archive/</a></li>
<li><a href="cd/">cd/</a></li>

<li><a href="doc/">doc/</a></li>
<li><a href="el/">el/</a></li>
<li><a href="mech/">mech/</a></li>
<li><a href="static/">static/</a></li>
<li><a href="sw/">sw/</a></li>
<li><a href="td/">td/</a></li>

<li><a href="ud/">ud/</a></li>
</ul>
<hr noshade><em>Powered by <a href="http://
subversion.tigris.org/">Subversion</a> version 1.5.1 (r32289).</em>
</body></html>
----------------------- end of the example -----------------------

Of course, if this server functionality is not available or is turned
off, the server will return something else,
perhaps error messages, and SVN Monitor will have the possibility to
recognize the situation.

I understand.
Well, currently this is not possible but I will consider adding this to a future version.
If you want, you can add this as a feature request in my project site, with all this information.

Please do. I will appreciate it very much.


Thanks,
