Rails - Apr 2006 - ANN: svn_conf generator -- making "svn import" easy and fun

Rails make it easy to start a new application. At the same time, import  
a new project into Subversion is not that simple -- there are quite few  
files that should be ignored.

I used to manually remove added log files and tmp/cache, tmp/sessions,  
tmp/sockets files after the import and then go through the painful  
process of setting svn:ignore properties.

There is an easier way -- simply create .cvsignore files before the  
import and svn will honor them.

I created svn_conf generator which will add a new rake task to your  
project to automate this. I hope you will find it useful.

Instructions:

1. Install svn_conf generator

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com/ 
svn_conf_generator-0.0.2.gem svn_conf_generator

2. Generate svn_conf in a new rails project (not imported into svn)

./script/generate svn_conf

3. Run svn:configure task to create .cvsignore files

rake svn:configure

Sorry, I got spaces in the source url. This should work:

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com/ 
svn_conf_generator-0.0.2.gem svn_conf_generator

The url is still broken. Please see Wiki for instructions:

Thanks a lot for testing this. After Rails, rubygems requires a lot of  
configuration. The problem is now fixed. This command should work:

gem install --source http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com svn_conf_generator

I had another error:

Attempting local installation of ''svn_conf_generator''
Local gem file not found: svn_conf_generator*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''svn_conf_generator''
Updating Gem source index for: http://dist.agilewebsolutions.com
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)
    parse error on line 24, col -1: `''

-------

Later I found out that the generator is available via rubyforge:

gem install svn_conf_generator --remote


And this worked finally for me too.

I installed from rubygems..

Successfully installed svn_conf_generator-0.0.3

Setting svn:ignore properties:

Done.

There seem to be no .cvsignore or .svnignote files anywhere to be found. Did I
do
something wrong? or does this need to be run after svn import? (Which would seem
to go
against the whole purpose of the thing).

I haven''t checked it in either :) I thought the purpose of this was to
create .cvsignore
files, so when you import it, it doesn''t checkin files and directories
that should to be
ignored.

Guess I was wrong.
