Dimitrij Denissenko You can use Retrospectiva together with remote repositories. This is a short HOWTO about setting-up Retrospectiva with a repository stored at Google-Code, GitHub, etc. Although Retrospectiva is generally incapable of handling remote repositories (remote requests simply take too long) it has the built-in ability to synchronise remote repositories (keeping a local copy). h1. GIT Let’s assume that the remote repository URL is git://github.com/dim/retrospectiva.git and the local repository is in /var/git/retrospectiva. Clone the remote repository: {{{ git clone git://github.com/dim/retrospectiva.git /var/git/retrospectiva }}} h1. Subversion Let’s assume that the remote repository URL is http://retrospectiva.googlecode.com/svn and the local repository is in /var/svn/retrospectiva. Create a new local repository by calling: {{{ svnadmin create /var/svn/retrospectiva }}} To enable synchronization, enable the pre-revprop-change hook: {{{ cat <<'EOF' > /var/svn/retrospectiva/hooks/pre-revprop-change #!/bin/sh exit 0 EOF }}} Make it executable: {{{ chmod +x /var/svn/retrospectiva/hooks/pre-revprop-change }}} Please note that this is a very basic approach, so please refer to the Subversion documentation if you have special requirements for your hooks. Initialize the repository for remote synchronization: {{{ svnsync init file:///var/svn/retrospectiva http://retrospectiva.googlecode.com/svn }}} h1. Automatic Synchronisation Configure Retrospectiva to perform the synchronisation automatically * Login as an admin * Go to Admin/Setup/Repositories * Select (or create your repository), point the path to your local repository location * Apply sync callback: ** GIT: cd /path/to/repository && /usr/bin/git-pull ** Subversion: /usr/bin/svnsync sync file:///path/to/local/repository ** Optionally you can also specify additional parameters (e.g. username/password options, etc.) * Go to Admin/Tasks and make sure the interval for the Sync repositories task is set-up correctly 2009-02-06T07:55:33+00:00 2009-12-02T11:47:00+00:00 2
