[rancid] Pointing existing rancid from local svn repo to remote svn

[Daniel Chen]

I just looked at the 'rancid-cvs'; it looks like the shell script is hard-coded for local file (non-URL) location of the CVS/SVN repository. 

I am going to hack my installation 'rancid-cvs' to see if I can get the remote URL for SVN import and SVN checkout to work.

When attempting to install rancid svn to a remote server, I get the following message: 

[root at rancid-dev bin]# ./rancid-cvs 
svnadmin: ' https://secure2.test.com/svn/repo/server/network-configs/CVS ' is an URL when it should be a path 

# BASEDIR=/usr/local/rancid/var/rancid; export BASEDIR 
PATH=/usr/local/rancid/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin; export PATH 

# Location of the CVS/SVN repository. Be careful changing this. 
# CVSROOT=$BASEDIR/CVS; export CVSROOT 

CVSROOT= https://secure2.test.com/svn/repo/server/network-configs/CVS ; export CVSROOT 

# Location of log files produced by rancid-run(1). 
# LOGDIR=$BASEDIR/logs; export LOGDIR 

LOGDIR= https://secure2.test.com/svn/repo/server/network-configs/logs ; export LOGDIR 

# Select which RCS system to use, "cvs" (default) or "svn". Do not change 
# this after CVSROOT has been created with rancid-cvs. Changing between these 
# requires manual conversions. 

RCSSYS=svn; export RCSSYS 

Any ideas/solutions would be most welcome!

Hello, 

Is this simply altering the BASEDIR=/"local repo" to BASEDIR="/ https://x.x.x.x/repo , or Is there more to this? 

Thank you
