[Phpgroupware-users] phpgroupware filemanager/vfs and subversion (partial support)

[Benoit Hamet]

Heya all,

I remember one of you asking on IRC for subversion support in phpgorupware.

In fact with a minor modification of the new DAV layer (that you can get
 here :
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/download.php?item_id=3525&item_file_id=3886
just untar it under the phpgwapi/inc directory of your .16 phpgroupware)

then apply the attached patch.

When this modifiations are done, you need to configure the mod_svn under
apache (could be tricky under Debian, if you have problem ask me).
I suppose that you are able to mkdir a home directory using svn mkdir
http://yourserver.domain.phpgw/svn_you_want/home (or by co and commit).
Important note : your subversion server should be in autoversion mode !!


Then you need to modify your configuration under phpgroupware/setup :

Adjust the repository for your files :
http://yourserver.domain.phpgw/svn_path_to_dir_parent_of_home/

Choose webDAV as the FS and filesystem for storing files.

You should be able to use the filemanager with subversion :).

Of course, As we use a "standard" DAV client, you won't get the best of
subversion. But thanks to autoversionning, you will get some advantages
over DAV.

Note that the actual subversion server is a partial webDAV 1 system ...
so It doesn't support LOCK/UNLOCK features (so don't apply the patch
with LOCK capacity to filemanager !!!).
It seems tha subversion 2 will be able to partially handle it. (Or you
can use apache 2.1 with the mod_dav_lock If I understand the svn-book).

Fill free to ask questions on the list about this, I will do my best to
answer :).

Future : I can't give any "warranty" about a better svn support in the
.18 release ( At least the same as the one in a patched .16 version).
All help (test, feedback, patches, ...) are welcomed.

Cheers,

Caeies, happy to get subversion working :).
