SVN::Notify::Config - Config-driven Subversion notification
This document describes version 0.0910 of SVN::Notify::Config, released March 5, 2008.
Set this as your Subversion repository's hooks/post-commit:
#!/usr/bin/perl -MSVN::Notify::Config=$0 --- #YAML:1.0 '': PATH: "/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" '/path': handler: HTML::ColorDiff to: project-admin@example.com '/path/ignored': handler: ~ '/path/snapshot': fork: 1 handler: Snapshot to: "/tmp/tarball-%{%Y%m%d}-${revision}.tar.gz" '/path/multitarget': to: - alice@localhost - bob@localhost - root@localhost '/path/tags': handler: Mirror to: '/path/to/another/dir' tag-regex: "RELEASE_"
Alternatively, use a config file inside the repository:
#!/usr/bin/perl -MSVN::Notify::Config=file://$1/svnnotify.yml
This module is a YAML-based configuration wrapper on SVN::Notify. Any option of the base SVN::Notify or any of its subclasses can be rendered in YAML and will be used to perform the appropriate task. In essence, your hook script is your configuration file, so it can be a very compact way to use SVN::Notify.
Notes on a few of the options:
Each block is contructed as a YAML hash entry whose key is the path that triggers that block's action. This term is evaluated as a Perl regex and all path entries are relative to the repository root. You can use very sophisticated mapping between paths and handlers. For example, a new tag under any project goes to all developers, but regular commits to branch or trunk go to that project list only.
With the core SVN::Notify module, you were required to issue multiple to_regex_map entries. In SVN::Notify::Config, an implicit to_regex_map is constructed from the path hash and the array of to: elements of the YAML file.
Versions of SVN::Notify::Config prior to 0.09 contained a subtle error in logic which meant that multiple overlapping paths would not all fire, but rather only the last block defined would fire. This does not agree with core SVN::Notify behavior, where you could have multiple independent to_regex_map entries which would all fire.
For example, see the '/path' block in the SYNOPSIS, which should receive a ColorDiff e-mail for any commit under the other blocks. If you need to replicate the previous behavior, you can use negative lookahead's.
