[Sandweb-devel] SandWeab usage

[Alex R. <al...@un...>]

Hello,
 
We were using PVCS Version Manager Server (web access) for more than 2
years by now.
Now I want to move to cvs with web access and found SandWeb.
I installed it and after initial tests I have number of questions:
 
1. I would like to add "before checkin" and "after checkout" triggers
(similar to PVCS) (-t/-f wrappers are not supported yet). I plan to use
pre_download.sh script which will be invoked from "File.pm" by download
procedure and post_upload.sh in upload procedure.
Example of need: We want to store Oracle Forms/Reports files in CVS.
Those files are binary and therefore -kb option should be used without
any keyword substituion. Those files also have textual representation
where $Id$ can be added. I would like to convert FMB->FMT before checkin
and FMT->FMB before download.
 
2. There is no current method of downloading complete project from
SandBox to my current machine. I am planning to create a dummy file in
root of every dir and use the above pre_download.sh to checkout, tar and
zip directory contents. Any other ideas?
 
3. I also noticed that all changes are listed by "apache" user and not
by sandweb user. (I used local repository access, pserver didn't work).
Any help?
 
I would like to have your answers ASAP to allow me to complete the
evaluation process and start using and improving the SandWeb, from my
side I will contribute Oracle related scripts and engines that we are
going to develop to be included in sandWeb regular distribution.
 
Thanks in advance.
