The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Defryn, Guy" <address@concealed>]

Hi Chris,

May I suggest you investigate CFENGINE?
We never make changes to our servers directly, all is done through the
cfengine repository.
We use subversion to keep track of the changes we made to cfengine. SVN
does not interact
with our other servers.
We use it in combination with subversion for the changes we make to our
linux boxes.
We used it successfully with our Sympa servers as well

cheers

Subject: [sympa-users] Using subversion to maintain customizations

We have a test and a production Sympa servers.  I want to easily move
code
and configuration changes from the test environment to the production
environment.  I was thinking about using subversion, but it seems to
cause
some issues where Sympa scans folders and picks up on the .svn folders.


Has any one used Subversion in this way?

Which folders should I avoid using subversion on?

/usr/lib/sympa/bin
/var/sympa/bin/etc/create_list_templates
/var/sympa/bin/etc/custom_conditions
/var/sympa/bin/etc/families
/var/sympa/bin/etc/global_task_models
/var/sympa/bin/etc/list_task_models
/var/sympa/bin/etc/mail_tt2
/var/sympa/bin/etc/scenari
/var/sympa/bin/etc/web_tt2
/var/sympa/bin
/var/sympa/sbin

I installed from the source and tried to mirror the RPM install folder
locations.
