You can try using shfs to mount the repository (i got cvstrac working
with a ssh fs some time ago). Trac need direct access to the dbfile
inside the repository.

Toni,

Instead of trying to reach your repository over ssh, you can bring your
repository to the Trac server. I currently replicate my repositories
with some commands in the post-commit hook. There is also the CPAN
module SVN::Mirror.

fwiw the svn:mirror (part of svk) works really well with one caveat,
its a little tricky to get the initial rev numbers the same.

cheers,

Do you copy the whole database over the network and overwrite the
existing one on the trac-server.
Or do you dump the last revision and somehow load it over the network
to the trac-server.

Could you maybe post your post-commit hook script or the relevant lines.

Cheers,

/T

Actually I am doing the replication on the same server. We didn't want
trac and development use of svn conflicting -- which was probably an
unreasonable fear.

And yes I do an incremental dump of only the just completed transaction
and then loads that into the replicant repository.

For your situation I'd do the following:

1) in post-commit:
a) incremental dump:
/usr/bin/svnadmin dump "$REPOS" --revision "$REV" --incremental \
> "$REPOS"/tmp/"$REV"
b) scp the dump to the trac host:
/usr/bin/scp "$REPOS"/tmp/"$REV" trachost:/path/to/dumpto
2) Have a daemon (script) running on the trac host that loads each new
scp'd transaction into the repliant repository:
/usr/bin/svnadmin load /replicant/repos < /path/to/dumpto/file

You might want to check out SVN::Mirror. It might be easier...

What I experienced is that you get conflict if the persmission arent
set right. There also seems to be a need to "svnadmin recover REPOS"
now and then if the db:s are the same.
Your approach seems to be safer and cleaner, since you dont
need to give trac rw persmissions to the db you use for version control.

This was something like this that I was thinking about.
Forgot about scp. But with scp and a ssh-agent it is a perferct solution
for me.

Last time I tried I had problems installing it so I'll try the other
solution first.

Thanks for the help.
