sventonsvn / sventon

This is sventon's final resting place.

Welcome to the sventon project!

Please note that the sventon project is no longer maintained. Current code and documentation is kept here at GitHub for reference. Thanks for using sventon.

sventon is a free, open source, web client for browsing Subversion repositories. It is powerful, straightforward to use, and super easy to install.

sventon is a pure Java application, all you need to run it is a Java SE 6 runtime and a Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 compliant webserver, such as Tomcat 6.0. Installation is truly simple, we will have you up and running in no-time!

Please see the wiki for further details.

The sventon dev blog went to sleep here.

sventon's Issues

Search result limit (Feature Request #4673)

There should be a hard cap (configurable if possible) on the number of search 
results that can be returned. For example, 3000 hits or something.

Adding Groups to ListInstances (Feature Request #3535)

It would be really great if the ListInstances page 
could group repositories, we have over 100 
projects, some in Production, R&D, ICT etc

When adding repositories the ability to tag the 
repository to one of these groups then the list 
instances page display the repositories under the 
group heading.

For example:

Production                    R&D                   ICT
1. First Repository        1. Test Repo      1. 
ServiceDesk
2.Second Repo             2. New test        2. Docs

etc etc

This would really tie in well with feature request 
#3347 

Kind regards

Garry

Show Revision N log (Feature Request #4443)

It would be really nice if there were a quick shortcut
to see the log view (change set) when you know a
revision #, but don't know which files / directories.   

I tried using "Go to revision" and then "Show latest
commit info" as it seemed to me it might be logical for
the commit info to be the latest as of the version that
you're currently viewing, but however it could be
implemented, this would be a useful feature.
----------

To show the log details for a specific revision, use the 
'Go to revision' and click the revision figure to the left of 
the repository URL.

I agree however that this could be designed to be more 
obvious :-) I'll look into it.

Interface for email notification config (Feature Request #4419)

The user list for instance is something which can change quite often. It would 
be much simpler (and less relying on others) to have a GUI for it.

info?revision returns repos list (Bug #18362)

When repository name contains "log" at the end of its name the info?revision 
action returns list of repositories.

For example the repository "framework-service-catalog" gets truncated to 
"framework-service-cata":

Configure a MailNotifier per repository (Feature Request #5099)

The MailNotifier component can only be configured on 
o global level, being either active or inactive for all 
repositories in the entire sventon instance.

It would be nice to be able to configure this per 
repository instead.

Log file should honor 'sventon.dir' (Feature Request #4455)

The log file should go to the location of the 
'sventon.dir' system property.

Don't know if it's possible to do with log4j. 
Currently the config looks like this:

log4j.appender.logfile.File=${java.io.tmpdir}/svent
on_config/sventon.log

System properties can be used, but what if the 
property is not set? Can we fall back on a default 
setting?

Choose archive charset on export (Feature Request #5096)

The archive charset used when 
exporting/downloading files are specified on a global 
level in the XML config files.

This should be changed so that the user can choose 
the charset when clicking "Download as Zip" (like 
GMail has for downloading of attachments).

The charset needs to be specified as the Zip 
specification does not cover this (like JARs that uses 
UTF-8).

An unhandled internal application error occurs when clicking RSS feed button on a directory which contains a space,

If the subversion directory contains a space then the RSS subscribe URL 
contains a '%2520' . Subscribing results then in 
An unhandled internal application error has occured


Removing the 25 of %2520 gives the correct URL.

https://sventon.example.com/svn/xml/myrepo/rss/READ%2520MEs/?revision=HEAD

It seems that <space> is encoded to %20 and then % is encode to %25 which 
results then in %2520

I tried this in sventon 2.5.1 and in the svnkit verision and in the javaHL 
version.

sventon war file is deployed in tomcat6 with following connector settings:

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"
               redirectPort="8443" />

Is this a bug and is there a known solutions or workaround?
thanx anyway.

Support get on directories (Feature Request #4868)

Currently using a the "get" url format on a directory
leads to an error page (which is logical as the
directory can't be "downloaded").

It would be nice if, instead of an error page, it would
redirect to the a view of the directory, like when
using "goto" or "show". 

Mostly we need it for Jira integration, 'cos we have
set it up to automatically download the linked file
when selected from the Jira subversion panel, but it
fails on directories and there is no option to set
different url templates for directories and files.

Thanks,
Riccardo.

Complex passwords fail on LDAP (Bug #18210)

We utilize Sventon to communicate back to an SVN server which uses LDAP/Active 
Directory for it's authentication.
Certain characters (such as #) will cause Sventon to always fail authentication 
to the repository.
These password will function properly when logging directly into SVN, the 
failure only occurs when browsing via Sventon.

Incompatible with Subversion 1.7 servers due to SVNKit limitation

SVNKit 1.3.6 and earlier are not compatible with Subversion servers running SVN 
1.7. This prevents Sventon from working with these servers.

For more information:

   http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-153

To correct the behaviour in Sventon, upgrade to SVNKit 1.3.7 or wait for SVNKit 
1.7.0 to be released and use that instead. For now I've downgraded the server 
back to 1.6.17 since this problem also affects Hudson/Jenkins and every other 
tool that uses SVNKit.

Thanks for Sventon!

Conflicting paths make some repo configs unreachable (Bug #17465)

The path <context>/repos/list returns a list of all repos, while the path 
<context>/repos/<reponame> lets you brows repo <reponame>. 

If <reponame> happens to be 'list', it won't be reached. Uncool. There are also 
other conflicting paths.

Bugzilla integration (Feature Request #4001)

Add possibility to connect a bug id, written in the log
message, to an issue in eg. Bugzilla.
----------
Capitalizing on the standard bugtraq:logregex property and
bugtraq:url feature would be an excellent addition to the
sventon interface.

----------
This is a feature I was thinking of, however it would be
better to make it more generic.
We currently use a hacked about version of viewcvs to link
our Jira issues within log messages.
Maybe some way of entering a regex to run against log
messages, and a URL pattern to link to?
