SvnClasses

About

SvnClasses is a Lazarus package to help writing applications that interact with a Subversion (svn) repository. It requires an installed command line svn executable for accessing a svn repository and/or a working directory. I used these classes for writing a tool to mirror the Lazarus svn repository to Sourceforge.

Change Log

• Version 0.1 2007-03-07

Dependencies / System Requirements

• Requires fpc 2.1.1 or later, because of the use of TProcess enhancements.
• Requires an svn executable on the path or in default location in windows.
• Although this package can be used for command line applications, it depends on the LCL for some functions from the FileUtils class

Status

Status: Alpha

Issues

• The ExecuteSvnCommand procedure doesn't capture the output on StdErr
• The ExecuteSvnCommand procedure hasn't configurable verbosity

Installation

• extract the zip file
• open the svnpkg.pkg and compile the package.

Examples

For use see included unit tests.

• open the test\fpcunitsvnpkg.lpi project and run it.

I have written these classes to support fpsvnsync, a tool similar to svnsync to mirror the lazarus svn repository to SourceForge. The svnsync tool doesn't work, because Sourceforge doesn't allow revision property changes.

See also

• fpcup contains unified classes for subversion, git, and mercurial which may be an alternative. They are currently focussed on checkout/update operations but basic support has been added for committing.
