This command removes the SVN data from a folder.

find -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;

Creating a tag in SVN means that you copy the entire trunk to another folder in the ‘tags’ folder…

svn copy trunk/ tags/TAG_NAME

Moving, Coping and Deletion

svn mv file.php to_folder/        #Move
svn cp file.php to_folder/         #Copy
svn rm file.php                          #Deletion

This script will package your SVN code to a tar.gz file. Just give the name of the project as the first argument. Like this…

perl packager.pl jus5

#!/usr/bin/perl
#Package a Sourceforge project from its SVN source.

die("Please provide the name of the project as the argument") unless($ARGV[0]);

$project=$ARGV[0];
#$project='jus5';

`svn checkout https://$project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/$project`;
`find $project/ -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \\;`;
`tar -czf $project.tar.gz $project/`;
`rm -rf $project/`;

This is the method that I use to package a SVN Project. For CVS projects, the code is slightly different. Please note that the second line requires bash to work.

This is how I packaged nexty

svn checkout https://nexty.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nexty
find nexty/ -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
tar -czf nexty.tar.gz nexty/
rm -rf nexty/

[tags]svn,package,zip,compress,project,subversion[/tags]
