Development repository for Chef Cookbook subversion

subversion Cookbook

Installs subversion for clients or sets up a server under Apache HTTPD.

Requirements

Platforms

• Debian/Ubuntu
• RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle
• Fedora
• Windows

Chef

• Chef 13.4+

Cookbooks

• apache2

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for default values. The attributes are used in the server recipe.

• node['subversion']['repo_dir'] - filesystem location of the repository to serve.

• node['subversion']['repo_name'] - name of the repository to serve up.

• node['subversion']['server_name'] - server name used in the svn vhost.

• node['subversion']['user'] - user to log into the svn vhost.

• node['subversion']['password'] - htpasswd for the subversion user in the server recipe. This should be overridden as the default is not secure.

• node['subversion']['list_parent_path'] - a choice of "on" or "off". When set to "on" the list of repositories in the node['subversion']['repo_dir'] will be indexed at http://

  <server_name>/svn. Default is "off"</server_name>

Recipes

default

Includes recipe[subversion::client].

client

Installs subversion packages.

server

Sets up an SVN repository server with recipe[apache2::mod_dav_svn]. This will use the web_app definition from the apache cookbook to drop off the template, and uses the attributes for configuration.

Usage

On nodes where subversion should be installed such as application servers that will check out a repository, use recipe[subversion]. If you would like a subversion server, use recipe[subversion::server]. You should override node['subversion']['password'] in the role that applies the server recipe.

Maintainers

This cookbook is maintained by Chef's Community Cookbook Engineering team. Our goal is to improve cookbook quality and to aid the community in contributing to cookbooks.

subversion's Issues

Pessimistic version on windows cookbook dependency causing resolution issues

Cookbook version

2.1

Chef-client version

12.15.19

Platform Details

OSX Siera

Scenario:

The dependency on windows cookbook depends 'windows', '~> 1.44' is preventing dependency resolution when used in a runlist with other cookbooks that require 'windows', '>=2.0'

Steps to Reproduce:

Add a berks reference to this cookbook, as well as 'windows', '>=2.0'

Expected Result:

Unless there is a specific reason causing this cookbook to not work with windows cookbook after 1.44.x, the dependency specified in this cookbook should be '>= 1.44' to allow greater operability with other cookbooks that may require a later windows cookbook version

Actual Result:

Berkshelf is unable to solve the dependencies due to '~>1.44' not working with '>=2.0'

could not find recipe mod_dav for cookbook apache2

Cookbook version

3.0.0

Chef-client version

14.11.21

Platform Details

Centos 7

Scenario:

Added the recipe[subversion::server] to my existing cookbook to install SVN server and populated all subversion attributes with custom values (as per guidelines).

Expected Result:

Successful installation.

Actual Result:

Starting Chef Client, version 14.11.21

I am running into this issue when trying to run the subversion cookbook.

Has anyone seen this issue or know whats causing it?

subversion windows_path does not work as expected

In the same chef shell session I am installing subversion on windows and using it for checking out code.
The windows_path has the subversion path is added by default, but on checking out code using subversion resource says "svn: No such file or Directory"

support for https [enhancement]

Any ideas? What way Apache cookbook support it?
I have local example w/o chef, but I would like to "copy&paste" from another app+apache cookbook reference implementation, instead of make it up own.

(+ similary the ldap auth)

Depends on apache ~> 2

Apache is now past version 3.0.1, it also is only needed for server installation not client.

Any solutions?

subversion::server converges execute[create htpasswd file] on every run

The reason for this is a wrong value for the creates attribute on the execute[create htpasswd file] resource.

It should read creates "#{node['subversion']['repo_dir']}/htpasswd" correctly.

Unable to run tests

I've tried running tests with Ruby 1.9 and 2.1. After running bundle exec rspec I get the following output:

Celluloid 0.17.1.1 is running in BACKPORTED mode. [ http://git.io/vJf3J ]
Called 'load' without the :safe option -- defaulting to safe mode.
You can avoid this warning in the future by setting the SafeYAML::OPTIONS[:default_mode] option (to :safe or :unsafe).

If I comment the last 3 lines of spec_helper.rb (the Berkshelf stuff, which it appears is causing the above) then I am told:

Called 'load' without the :safe option -- defaulting to safe mode.

There's no Gemfile.lock in the repository, so I'm guessing gem versioning issues.

htpasswd file is droping it's manually modififed content

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/subversion/blob/master/recipes/server.rb#L49

"htpasswd -scb" -> remove "-c" it recreate htpasswd each time it runs, so manually added users are removed :-|.
