Mac OSX – rsync to support iconv

CA RO — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:24:28 +0000

The rsync tool that comes in-the-box with OSX does not support iconv, so that you cannot activate this option in order to void any encoding issue when syncing with rsync.
To use this option, you need to install XCode to compile rsync, by default on OSX 10.6, with default options (64-bit compilation) you don’t have iconv enabled, you just need to precise rsync to compile in 32-bit mode and you are good to sync in UTF-8 now

If you sync from your Mac use

rsync --iconv=UTF8-MAC,UTF8

$ CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 CCASFLAGS=-m32 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local $ CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 CCASFLAGS=-m32 sudo make install

If you don’t want to install XCode, you can download a compiled version here: rsync-3.0.7 (compiled on OSX 10.6.3)

In this article, I will tell you how to create a backup repository on your PC or your second server.

First step: Create a new repository on your PC or your another server

svnadmin create backup-repository

Second step: Create a hook so as to give the repository the ability to change properties

On Linux/Unix-like

cat <<'EOF' > backup-repository/hooks/pre-revprop-change
#!/bin/sh
exit 0
EOF

Give the newly created file the permission of execution

chmod +w backup-repository/hooks/pre-revprop-change

On Windows

Simply create an empty file named pre-revprop-change.bat in hooks directory (ackup-repository\hooks\pre-revprop-change.bat)

Third step: Initialization the newly created repository

Consult svnsync init --help for more information

On Linux/Unix-like

svnsync init file://`pwd`/backup-repository http://svn.example.com/svn/ource-repository

On Windows

svnsync init file:///c:/full/path/to/backup-repository http://svn.example.com/source-repository

Forth step: Sync them!

svnsync sync file://`pwd`/backup-repository

svnsync sync file:///c:/full/path/to/backup-repository

If you wish, you can hook this command to post-commit hook of the source-repository, with this hook, you will keep you backup-repository up-to-date

On Windows

On Linux/Unix-like
