Description
Allows concurrent development on multiple servers and simplifies publishing XWiki applications to SVN.
Usage
Main Screen: it allows to create multiple SVN configurations by SVN directory and also by user. The configuration stores the password.
Config Screen:
Commit/Update Screen:
Pages are cleaned before comparison and commit:
- dates and author are set to the value set in the configuration
- versions are reset to 1.1
- TagClass is removed
- comment and minor edit are reset
Committing a list of pages (starting with 1.6)
Starting with 1.6 version, the "saved list" of pages is handled with the SVN application (not the external MultiPageExport application). To use this, follow these steps:
- create an object of type SVNCode.SavedListClass (e.g. in the page holding the SVN configuration itself)
- by editing in object mode, fill in the list property of this object with a list of pages, separated by pipe (|)
- in the SVN configuration, set the property Saved List to point to the page containing the object
- from now on, the button "List pages to commit" will use this saved list instead of the default spaces
Limitations
- it does not support conflict resolution
Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
For version 1.5, the recommended way for installation is to use the Extension Manager. In addition to EM install, if you intend to use the XML format option, you should install jaxen-1.1.4.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your XWiki webapp.
Install svnkit-1.3.8.jar and trilead-ssh2-1.0.0-build215.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your XWiki webapp.
Import the XAR as describe above (and proceed to the step above if needed)
