Svn hook to email you information in post commit hook.

Install svnnotify which will be used to send the email

yum install perl-CPAN
perl -MCPAN -e 'install SVN::Notify'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install SVN::Notify::HTML::ColorDiff'

The post-commit script

#!/bin/sh
for i in 'email1@domain.co.uk' 'email2@domain.com'
do
	svnnotify --repos-path "$1" \
		--revision "$2" \
		--to $i \

done

SVN Log to Latex

Needed to add a table of my svn log into my project write up so created a simple style sheet that would parse the xml output from svn. The xslt only generates the table

svnlog-gen.sh

#usage svnlog-gen.sh [repo-path] [output-file]
svn log --xml $1 > tmp.out; xsltproc svnlog.xslt tmp.out > $2; rm tmp.out

svnlog.xslt

Example Output

Simple SVN WordPress Widget

After getting bored on working on my final year project I decided to take a look at creating widgets word my blog. There are SVN hooks on my repositories that store the commit details in a SQL database. I thought I would create a widget that would pull out the last message and display it.

/*
Plugin Name: LastCommit
Plugin URI: http://blog.yeticode.co.uk/
Description: Gets Last Commit Message
Author: John Tindell
Version: 1
Author URI: http://blog.yeticode.co.uk/
*/
function lastCommit_widget() {

	$server = 'localhost';
	$link = mssql_connect($server, 'username', '************');
	echo '
';
	echo "
Last Commit

";
	if($link)
	{
		mssql_select_db('svnyeti', $link);
		$query = mssql_query('select top 1 * from SVNLog order by liLogEntryPk desc', $link);
		$row = mssql_fetch_array($query);
		print '
' . $row['lszLogEntry'] . '';
	}
	echo ' 

';
}
function init_lastCommit(){
	register_sidebar_widget("LastCommit", "lastCommit_widget");
}
add_action("plugins_loaded", "init_lastCommit");

When I get more time I will develop this a bit more.
