svn checkout with long paths

Wed, 07 May 2008 11:31:00 +0100

Using svn windows binary to check out files with a long path causes an error i.e. using the command svn co https://mysvnrepo.com/mycode pathToCheckout/dir to check out some code gives

A pathToCheckout\dir\pathOne\src\main\resources\local\testdata\
getDataMocksvn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run ‘svn cleanup’ and try againsvn: Can’t open file ’ pathToCheckout\dir\pathOne\src\main\resources\local\testdata\

getDataMock.svn\tmp\text-base\

-f13bfeaa28e29110VgnVCM1000001f5012ac____.xml.svn-base’: The system cannot find the path specified.

If you use

svn co https://mysnvnrepo.com/mycode c:/pathToCheckout/dir

in other words use the full path to the directory you want to check out into you should get round this problem.

Maven, Hudson and Windows Default User Gives Disk Space Issues

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:48:12 +0000

When you deploy Hudson to Apache Tomcat and run Tomcat as default user maven sets the repository to be ~/.m2/repository (which is normally C:\Documents and Settings\Default User.m2/repository). Unfortunately windows will also copy that directory every time a new user logs on to that box. So in our case we ended up with 2GB of repeated repository.
Solution
Change your maven ‘settings.xml’ in {maven install dir}/conf Uncomment the line “/path/to/local/repo” in the settings tag and change it to be ~/../.m2/repository so every one shares the same maven repository.

Linux Job Control

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:00:25 +0000

While running a job you can suspend a job using ctrl -z or terminate a job using ctrl -c.

You can list the current jobs using the command jobs. The list will show a number next to each job. You can control each job referencing using these numbers.

A job can be moved to the foreground by fg %N .
A job can be moved to the background by bg %N .
A job can be killed by kill %N && fg.
A job can be stopped by stop %N.

Where N is the job number.

You can even start a job in the background by putting & after the command command &.
