SVN svn:keywords maintenance script

[warmerdam]

Currently folks need to update the svn:keywords property for each new file manually. I would like a script running nightly to take care of this for the whole GDAL tree (are there files that need to be excluded?)

Also, perhaps there are svn:ignore or other keywords that could be automatically maintained?

Please look into this. Running on download.osgeo.org (similar to nightly snapshot scripts) would likely be best.

Frank,

You are suggesting that

Running on download.osgeo.org...would likely be best

This is OK, but I don't know where GDAL SVN repository is located there.

[mloskot]

Frank,

Sorry for confusing. Clearly, I need to do svn checkout/update, propset keywords and commit this changes back. So, I can do it using local copy but not touching files in repo directly. OK, I will use download.osgeo.org for that.

After some discussion on security issues related to committing from cron job, we have came to the conclusion that the simplest option is:

I'd be all right with us keeping a script to fixup the keywords in ~/gdal and folks can run it periodically, with mloskot tasked to try and do so 1-2 times per week. -- Frank

I'm preparing a script that everyone in the team can run frequently on her local copy of GDAL SVN to fix svn:keywords property.

The script purpose is to reset svn:keywords property for files identified as using keywords.

Frank,

I've atteched the svnkeywords.sh script that does the requested job. I tested it quite intensively and works for me. It scans a source tree and identifies what keywords are used in files and activates svn:keywords property with collection of keywords being used per file.

I consider this ticket as fixed, so closing.

Do you like the idea about adding the svnkeywords.sh script to GDAL SVN ?

[warmerdam]

Mateusz, yes, please add the script in the gdal root directory in trunk.

Done in trunk (r15034)
