Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Bug 356753 added ViewVC for Subversion, but it did not enable the Bonsai-like querying support.

In order to use the querying support in ViewVC, a MySQL database must be set up for use by ViewVC. Once this has been done, the [cvsdb] section of viewvc.conf must be updated with the MySQL details.

Next, the bin/svndbadmin file must be added as a hook to Subversion, using something like | /path/to/svndbadmin update "$1" "$2" |.

Finally, the database must be initialized with all the previous commits by running | /path/to/svndbadmin rebuild /path/to/repo |.

With all these steps complete, the Bonsai-like querying capabilities of ViewVC will be enabled and up-to-date.

If you require any assistance with setting this up, feel free to catch me on IRC.
