Svn Messages
This rails plugin helps me keep clients up to date on the status of projects. It uses capistrano 2 (Multistage). I use it in 2 instances – whenever I deploy a site, and whenever I send a weekly status report. For a deployment, this is what I type at the command line:
cap staging svn:deployment_report
This gives me the following output:
Deployment to staging (Revision 34) I deployed the latest. It includes:
- Started adding user registration system. (domelia)
- Now translating validation errors and their attribute names. (bjones)
- Reorganized views a bit. (domelia)
- Now sending activation email when user signs up. (fsmith)
- Added support for “remember me” when logging in. (domelia)
I could have also typed: cap production svn:deployment_report
For a weekly status report, I type the following:
cap svn:messages r=70 u=domelia
70 is the oldest subversion revision I care about. domelia is me. I specify this because I only care about the svn commits that I personally made. This gives me the following output:
- Started adding user registration system.
- Reorganized views a bit.
- Added support for “remember me” when logging in.
I like the plugin because I can keep clients up to date and spend very little time doing it.
To install:
svn export https://terralien.devguard.com/svn/projects/plugins/svn_messages vendor/plugins/svn_messages
If you’d like this deployment report to happen every time you deploy, you can add the folllowing to your deploy.rb: before “deploy:update_code”, “svn:deployment_report”
