How to setup a server to follow development?

[ispcomm]

I would like to follow development of ispcp on a test server (debian).

I am wondering what would be the best setup to be able to "svn update" my local tree and test slight mods in "real time".

Currently I have to svn update then make install and then go trough the "perl ispcp-update" script that takes ages.

There must be a simpler and more direct way, specially for small daily updates where ispcp-update really is not updating from an "old" version but from "yesterday".

I would like to get an idea on how you devs have solved this problem. Do you work in /var/www/ispcp (and have your repository there) or do you copy every changed file over and over to /var/www.... perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

PS: Yes... i like to tweak things around and I want to understand how development works in ispcp so I can fix myself out if I need to ;-)

Nobody has any ideas? Weird

There is an HowTo in the Wiki. With this it should possible to upgrade from nightly to nightly. But all changes in the configs /etc you have to update it manually. You have to read the changelog in the Timeline, to see what has changed.

Thanks for replying. It took me long time after your post to actually find it (it's burried in the upgrade section here: http://www.isp-control.net/documentation...de/nightly )

I've been looking everywhere but not there

Thanks

Being a lazy programmer I made a script to automate nightly updates. It's little more than cut and paste from the wiki, but I think it might be usefull for somebody. Use it and mod it to your liking ;-)

Run it from the ispcp root directory (that would be the "trunk" dir in case you're following trunk).

Updated: version 0.0.1, including a proper license an credits. Very alpha but seems to work.

Hi ispcomm,

thanks for your script. It looks very nice.

thanks for that script. I will test it at the Weekend. Maybe we can "tune" it.

since svn 1134, freebsd distro have a little capability to detect if system already installed with ispcp, may be this can be merge to other distro

.if exists ($(SYSTEM_WEB)/ispcp/engine/ispcp-db-keys.pl)

Can someone test and confirm this works. It would make life so much easier if us testers can keep up with Nightly builds. I know BeNe would love this for his Demo server.

I`ve tested and it worked for me. But if you are using svn you should remove all folder named .svn copied by line

Quote:cp -R ispcp/ /var/www/

(it`s not a good ideea to expose php code even if there are not any confidential data: passwords to database). Maybe you can add a

Quote:rm -r `find -iname .svn`

.
Second, none of template file are copied in /etc. (i think that files from ../parts are mandatory.
Anyway, great tools.
