I've done if for a number of projects (like buffy). You can have a look at the hooks in buffy to see what they do, and I'll summarize it here. To begin with, the webspace is an *anonymous* svn checkout of the files. Then: > - how to write the hook so that only specific files are uploaded, and > put into the right location In post-commit, I have: # Update the contents of the website if svnlook dirs-changed $REPOS | grep -q '^web/trunk/' then echo "Thanks" | mail -s "Update buffy web pages, please" enrico@haydn.debian.org fi svnlook checks that the commit involve the web area. The mail asks haydn to call svn up; this is needed because the svn repo and the web pages are not in the same machine. > - how to authenticate the transfer, since the svn repository and the > webspace is on different machines. Then on haydn I have a procmail rule that sees the e-mail and calls svn up appropriately. Ask me again later if you need the procmail rule, as I can't get to alioth right now). If someone sends extra mails it's just idempotent svn up commands so it wouldn't matter. If you're concerned about DOS attacks, touch a file after doing svn up and don't do it again before one minute. Better ideas would of course be welcome.
