Capistrano: Providing Options for SVN

Hello!

Is there a way to provide options to the SVN call, for example the "--no-auth-cache" option when checking out?

Thanks,

Gabriel

Yes, but not easily.

We wrote a wrapper that uses Capistrano's CLI interface (and the straight libraries) and so we overrode many of the svn tasks.

For instance, here's one you'll have to change:

module Capistrano module SCM

   class Subversion < Base

     private        def svn_log(path)          `svn log -q --limit 1 #{path} --username #{svn_username} --password #{svn_password} --no-auth-cache`        end      end    end end

p.s. this adds needed username and password, now that you're not auth-caching --

hmmm, I should just submit a patch that lets you specify options to svn, shouldn't I?

Just curious, why do you need this?

cheers, hope that helps,

Hello,

I have two models, the Person and the Role/s (of this Person) with a m:n relation. The Role model uses STI (CustomerRole, EmployeeRole > ManagerRole) with different sub-model methods. But instead of having these methods in the Roles I'd like to have these methods automatically added to the Person instance as singleton methods.

Does anybody know howto do this?
