As I mentioned on Jabber, I've got an rsync-based ABS script totally ready for a testrun or two. In fact, I think I'll commit it to the ABS repo tonight so's you can have a look-see if you want.
I'm still unsure how to generate the rsync repo to pull from. Would a db-scripts patch work best, do you think? We can co-ordinate on this if you want, I'm perfectly willing to do the work for that.
I think you should assume, for the time being, that the rsync directory is there. We should have a checkout that is synced on each commit, I think. But it could even be a cron job - for right now, assume it just exists, unless you want to figure out the best/simplest way to do that. I'd probably start off with a cron job, just for the "path of least resistance" part of it
Agreed a cron job would be the easiest. It's a simple script that would have to find all the repos/<blah> directories and extract their contents.
I may write one and just test it with my old svnarch repo.
Yeah, it's easy, but also may be lost effort if done poorly, as it won't be able to do the "up to date" check, it will have to do a full CO each time... as long as we keep some sort of perma-checkout sitting somewhere... /me shrugs
