Using svn and svnmerge
[edit] Notes on using svnmerge tool for the production branch
Information and tutorials about using svnmerge.py can be found at http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py
The latest version (as of this writing) of svnmerge.py is installed in /usr/local/bin/svnmerge.py
Specific notes on updating oerBETA and OERca
[edit] Initializing the repository for use with svnmerge
svnmerge on oerbeta fails with:
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ svnmerge.py -n init svnmerge: no copyfrom info available. Explicit source argument (-S/--source) required.
A few failed attempts at specifying the --source value resulted in the svnmerge-integrated property being totally wrong:
root@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta# svn proplist -v . Properties on '.': svnmerge-integrated : /ocw2/branches/production:1-50519 /ocw2/trunk:1-50518 /ocw2/trunk/tool:1-50518
Fixed this up by manually setting the property:
root@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta# svn propset svnmerge-integrated /ocw2/trunk:1-50518 . property 'svnmerge-integrated' set on '.'
Now it is correct (well... not actually -- see below!):
root@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta# svn proplist -v . Properties on '.': svnmerge-integrated : /ocw2/trunk:1-50518 root@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta# svnmerge.py avail 50589,50601,50621,50625,50627,50631,50633-50635,50691,50704,50773,50895 root@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta#
Attempting to check in just the property change also got the local change to the .htaccess file as well. Will need to be careful when upgrading the production machine!
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ sudo svn commit --username user@umich.edu -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt .

After choosing the desired revisions, attempt to merge them:
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ sudo svnmerge.py merge -r 50589,50601,50621,50625,50631,50691,50704,50773,50895 property 'svnmerge-integrated' deleted from '.'. property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'.

Something is obviously wrong! Although the final version of the path for the svnmerge-integrated property looked right, it is not. After some more research, edited the property manually to really get it right:
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ svn propedit svnmerge-integrated . [ manual editing using vi editor ] user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ svn pl -v . Properties on '.': svnmerge-integrated : /ocw2/trunk/tool:1-50518 user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$
[edit] Merging changes
With that properly fixed, we are ready to attempt the merge again:
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ sudo svnmerge.py merge -r 50589,50601,50621,50625,50631,50691,50704,50773,50895 property 'svnmerge-integrated' deleted from '.'. property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'. U system/application/models/material.php U system/application/models/coobject.php U system/application/controllers/materials.php U system/application/views/default/content/materials/co/_edit_repl_upload.php U system/application/views/default/content/materials/askforms/instructor/inst_ne_prov.php U system/application/views/default/content/materials/edit_material.php property 'svnmerge-integrated' deleted from '.'. property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'. G system/application/models/coobject.php G system/application/views/default/content/materials/edit_material.php property 'svnmerge-integrated' deleted from '.'. property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'. G system/application/models/coobject.php G system/application/controllers/materials.php U snapper/Ssnapper.jar property 'svnmerge-integrated' set on '.' property 'svnmerge-blocked' deleted from '.'. user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$
OK! That looks better. Now test, test, test...
After testing to verify these changes function as expected, we are ready to commit the changes to the production branch:
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ sudo svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt Sending . Sending snapper/Ssnapper.jar Sending system/application/controllers/materials.php Sending system/application/models/coobject.php Sending system/application/models/material.php Sending system/application/views/default/content/materials/askforms/instructor/inst_ne_prov.php Sending system/application/views/default/content/materials/co/_edit_repl_upload.php Sending system/application/views/default/content/materials/edit_material.php Transmitting file data ....... Committed revision 50948. user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$
The svnmerge-integrated property now includes the revisions we have merged. The list of available revisions has been reduced.
user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ svn proplist -v . Properties on '.': svnmerge-integrated : /ocw2/trunk/tool:1-50518,50589-50626,50628-50632,50636-50895 user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$ svnmerge.py avail 50627,50633-50635 user@hostname:/var/www/oerbeta$
