I just recently wrote my first python script, which is a subversion hook script that I am calling svn2ftp. I needed to synchronize my repository to an FTP location and was surprised to have such difficulty finding a script that would do the job. Since then I found svn2web which purports to do roughly the same thing. I have not tried it though.

The script has documentation within, so I won’t repeat here, but the general idea is that you must pass as arguments the ftp connection information, the ftp remote directory that is supposed to serve as a mirror of your repository, as well as what path in the repository you are interested in propagating.

The script uses svn diff –summarize so it only needs to reflect changes. Never does svn2ftp explicitly do a full transfer to the server. Something to keep in mind.

Also, I wrote the routine to remember the last successful revision number. This way if revisions get skipped on account of failures, it can try again the next time it is called.

If anyone has any contributions or comments, please leave them. I’m open to both

Click here to download. I had to change the extension to .txt because the blog software didn’t like a .py extension…

Also note that this script is dependent on both pysvn and python subversion bindings.
