[xwiki-devs] SVN Application for XWiki

Hi, If you are following the xwiki comments, you might have seen that I've been working on an SVN application for XWiki. I've published this application here: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/SVNApplication The objective of this application is to bring to XWiki Applications more professional development practices. One of them is the ability to do version management of XWiki applications. Of course XWiki contains versioning but this versioning does not apply accross wikis and makes it difficult to contribute code back to the community. With the SVN application you can now directly contribute code and code updates to the XWiki SVN contrib repository or to any other SVN repository. You can even commit in multiple SVN repositories in the same Wiki. The SVN Application supports: 1/ Compare the Wiki (limited to a list of spaces) with the SVN repository listing - added pages in the wiki - modified pages in the wiki - new pages in SVN - modified pages in SVN - conflicting pages modified in both SVN and the Wiki 2/ Commit in the SVN Repository 3/ Update from the SVN Repostory 4/ Show differences between SVN and the Wiki (in XML) The SVN Application does not provide merging and conflict resolution. The SVN Application normalizes XWiki XML allowing the cleanup the XML to not have the user, the dates, comments. This is necessary to provide concurrent development on multiple XWiki server without telling you that the pages have changed all the time. The source code is of course in SVN at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-svn/ Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost
