NAME


svn-mailer - A feature rich subversion commit notification tool

SYNOPSIS


svn-mailer --commit -d repos -r rev [-f config]

[-o action] [-f config]

svn-mailer --lock -d repos -a author [-f config]

DESCRIPTION


The svnmailer package is a tool to post notifications of subversion events to various
targets in different ways. Currently implemented: Mail via SMTP or a sendmail pipe, news
via NNTP, XML via XMLRPC to a CIA tracker (see http://cia.navi.cx/ for details).

The svn-mailer command line script is typically invoked via subversion's hook mechanism,
but you can run it manually as well. This is useful to resend missing messages or for
debugging purposes. Remember to start it under the correct user/group id. Otherwise it
may have problems to open the repository or the config file.

The svnmailer can be used in most cases as a drop-in replacement for mailer.py distributed
with subversion. There are some subtle differences which are dedicated to more behavior
consistency. (Hopefully) all of them are stated in the HTML documentation.

GENERAL OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit

-h, --help
show a help message and exit

COMMON PARAMETERS
--debug
Run in debug mode (means basically that all messages are sent to STDOUT)

-dREPOSITORY, --repository=REPOSITORY
The repository directory

-fCONFIG, --config=CONFIG
The configuration file

-ePATH_ENCODING, --path-encoding=PATH_ENCODING
Specifies the character encoding to be used for filenames. By default the encoding
is tried to be determined automatically depending on the locale.

BEHAVIOR OPTIONS
The behavior options are mutually exclusive, i.e. the last one wins.

-c, --commit
This is a regular commit of versioned data (post-commit hook). This is default.

-p, --propchange
This is a modification of unversioned properties (post-revprop-change hook)

-l, --lock
(svn 1.2 and later) This is a locking call (post-lock hook). The locked file names
are read from STDIN.

-u, --unlock
(svn 1.2 and later) This is a unlocking call (post-unlock hook). The unlocked file
names are read from STDIN.

SUPPLEMENTAL PARAMETERS
-rREVISION, --revision=REVISION
The modified/committed revision number

-aAUTHOR, --author=AUTHOR
The author of the modification

-nPROPNAME, --propname=PROPNAME
The name of the modified property

-oACTION, --action=ACTION
(svn 1.2 and later) The property change action. If specified, the old property
value is read from STDIN.

CONFIGURATION FILES


If the configuration file is not specified on the command line it is searched at default
locations. The first one found is loaded. The locations are, in order: svnmailer.conf in
the conf/ directory of the given repository, svnmailer.conf in the script directory
itself, /etc/svnmailer.conf.

OLD STYLE COMMAND LINE


Alternatively you can use the old style compatibility command lines (options described
above don't apply then):

svn-mailer commit repos rev [config]

svn-mailer propchange repos rev author propname [config]

With svn 1.2 and later:
svn-mailer propchange2 repos rev author propname action [config]

svn-mailer lock repos author [config]

svn-mailer unlock repos author [config]
