TWikiBotSvnDotBm

This is a TWiki:Codev/TWikiBot module to monitor a subversion repository.

How it works

The module would makes use of the commandline subversion tools to gather the current revision on a timed basis. If the current revision is higher than the last revision recorded, the information for each revision will be gathered and displayed in the channel. Overall the module is very similar to the RDF and TWikiBotRss modules.

Comments

I've started on this module using the RDF module as a base and a portion of SVN::Log. Unfortunately I was unable to use SVN::Log as-is, it was calling an invalid command line on my system.

Below are two tables for coding reference: Note: These tabels are most likely out of date now.

Variable	Use
repos	A hash of repositories to monitor
updateDelay	Length of time between updates
preferredLineLength	Approximate line length to trim the description to
data	Internal revision information hash
mutes	Hash of channel lists

Command	Use
svn mute <repository> in <channel>	Mute <repository> announcements in <channel>
svn unmute <repository> in <channel>	Unute <repository> announcements in <channel>

I have finished the module. The code is not very pretty, but it works. I will hopefully be adding it to the TWikiBot SVN repository soon. A lot of the TWikiBot code needs to be reexamined and the repository synced with the active bot.
