SVNUP LOCAL SVNUP
NAME
svnup - A lightweight, dependency-free program to pull source from an
Apache Subversion server.
SYNOPSIS
svnup section [-46fntV] [-b branch] [-h hostname/address]
[-k known files directory] [-l local directory] [-o port]
[-p protocol] [-r revision] [-v verbosity]
DESCRIPTION
svnup is a minimalist program used to create or synchronize a local copy
of a Subversion repository. It is not intended to be a full-featured
replacement for the devel/subversion port, but rather, is intended to
provide a convenient way for users to update FreeBSD source files without
having to install devel/subversion and all of its related dependencies.
OPTIONS
Configuration options are stored in /usr/local/etc/svnup.conf and are
grouped into commonly used sections (additional custom sections can be
added to this file). The following command line options can be used to
override the default and/or section values:
-4 Use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Use IPv6 addresses only.
-b The Subversion branch to retrieve.
-f Display all files found in the target directory structure
that are not present in the repository (each file is
displayed with a leading "*").
-h The hostname or IP address of the Subversion repository.
-k The local directory to save the lists of known files to.
-l The local directory to save the repository's files to.
-n Display the last known revision number for the specified
section and exit.
-o The custom port number on the server to connect to.
-p The protocol used to connect to the server (currently
supported protocols are svn, http and https).
-r The revision number to retrieve (defaults to the branch's
most recent revision if this option is not specified).
-t Remove all files in the local directory tree that do not
exist in the repository. This will result in an exact match
of the contents of the remote repository and will remove
files in directories like /usr/ports/distfiles,
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/, etc. Proceed with caution.
-v How verbose the output should be (0 = no output, 1 = show
only names of the updated files/folders, 2 = also show a
progress indicator, 3 = also show commands sent to the server
and show svn response codes -- useful when debugging).
-V Display the version number and exit.
FILES
/usr/local/etc/svnup.conf Default location of the svnup configuration
file.
/var/tmp/svnup Default location where svnup stores its lists
of known files. The files stored here are
used during subsequent runs to determine which
files have been removed from the repository
and are safe to delete locally.
DIAGNOSTICS
Because svnup doesn't use the .svn folder that Subversion's svn client
uses, you may experience difficulties using svn after using svnup in a
given directory tree.
EXAMPLES
Using the configuration options for commonly used branches stored in
/usr/local/etc/svnup.conf, to retrieve/checkout a copy of the most recent
revision of the stable/9 branch:
svnup stable
To retrieve a copy of the most recent stable/9 branch, but store it in
/tmp/stable (without modifying /usr/local/etc/svnup.conf)
svnup stable -l /tmp/stable
