Mafia SVN for Scripts?

Eh I have plenty of bandwidth, we barely use much as it is. On a total I use about ~100gb in bandwidth a month. (That's about 5% of my total available)
 
I have to say that the SVN update would be a massive help to everyone, and could help people with finding new scripts that they may not have known existed. I don't think it would be a trivial update or one which would only help us coders. I think the 2MB would be "well spent" as it were (particularly if fewyn says we're not close to bandwidth limits).
 
I can always setup local SVNs... probably. I'd have to look into it and how to give people access to it.
 
It's closer to 3.5 MB, which is a bump in .jar size by like 60%. Still, if we have that much bandwidth overhead I won't worry too much about it - though this is how feature bloat starts. I'm still philosophically grumpy about it and will see if I can pare it down by trimming unnecessary features.
 
Kinda cool.

done

Checked out all that stuff into /scripts, creates a little .svn folder and all that jazz. I realize now that this is going to take a great deal of work to implement right, but long term goals and all that.
 
I'm just gonna keep posting in here because I like talking to myself to keep my thoughts straight. Also, we should have strikethrough tags.

Anyhoo. New plan I think. This whole privileged line at the top of the script thing was unsatisfying to me. How about we only support installation of scripts via svn? This simplifies things significantly on both ends.

In mafia, do "svn checkout svn://url.to/script". Mafia first makes sure that the script at the svn address conforms to some guidelines then checks it out. The files go automagically into the right place, be it scripts/, relay/, or images/. Then a simple "svn update" (which can even be done externally with an svn tool of your choice if you'd like) updates all your stuff everywhere. Easy peasy.
 
That sounds like a pretty good idea, although probably best that people are allowed to have scripts installable outside of the SVN.
 
Yes. That wouldn't change.

What would really happen under-the-hood is that there is a new base-level directory called svn/. when you checkout a repo, it creates a unique folder in svn/. In that directory goes a working copy. Once the working copy is synced, we copy all of the appropriate files into the scripts/, relay/, and images/ directories as appropriate. When updates are asked for ("svn update"), we go into all of the working copies, do updates, then push those to the mafia subdirectories.

Somewhat counterintuitively, users who want to maintain local changes to scripts would have to do those changes in the svn/UUID/ version of the script rather than the copy found in scripts/ or relay/. The latter version will be overwritten any time an update happens to the working copy version. This is a bit of a bummer but is a limitation of working with SVN. I could instead go with Git, but... that's a whole new can of worms. Also the JGit library (currently the best option available) is low-level and not at all fun to work with. Though, it is smaller than svnkit, so that's something.
 
Individual scripters should set up their own SVN repos. It is up to the person maintaining the repo to provide the right granularity to the repo so that users can check out the scripts that they want. SVN does not allow finer control than "give me this directory", so implementers should be mindful of that.

Say I maintain two individual scripts, scriptA and scriptB. I can do several things:

1) Maintain both scripts in the same directory: myrepo/scripts/
-This is valid but undesirable, since checking out myrepo/ will by needs give me both scriptA and scriptB.​
2) Maintain the scripts in individual repos: myrepo1/scripts/ and myrepo2/scripts/
-Valid, as long as you are okay with creating a new repo every time you make a new script​
3) Maintain multiple projects in the same repo: myrepo/myscriptA/scripts and myrepo/myscriptB/scripts
-Also valid. Users can individually check out the myscriptA/ project if that's all they want.​

Further note to implementers: a valid project must have one or more of scripts/, relay/, data/, and/or images/ subfolders. Other folder names are invalid and will cause validation to fail and mafia will not check out your project. Having any files in the base directory other than those four folders will also fail validation. Think of it like unzipping an archive in your mafia base directory; the files will go into their respective subfolders when we unzip it. You're not allowed to put things in, say, settings/, nor are you allowed to put things in the top-level where DEBUG logs and the like go. Each file's extension will also be scrutiny to validation; having .exes or whatever will also cause validation to fail.

I don't think the above is being too restrictive, security concerns are a thing I need to think about.

---

If people want to have a centralized repo of scripts, note that that is still valid (it's just entry 3 above). I have concerns about that type of setup (permissions being a huge concern) but it is technically valid.

Not entirely true. I don't get ALL the BCA scripts, but I do get some. The full folder has 19 files. My folder has 4 (bumcheekascend, hccheck, rollover, and snapshot). You can opt into a specific set of scripts to sync.

Perhaps I should say "the SVN working copy model does not allow finer control..." SVN checkout very explicitly does not allow for file-specific checkouts, because SVN working copies do not work like that.

You are probably doing SVN export or some operation along those lines that does not preserve .svn metadata. Which we need.

Anyway, the point is that this is how mafia SVN integration will work. If you want users to be able to individually checkout your scripts, you need to separate them into projects. A setup like BCC's current all-files-in-one-directory won't work unless you actually intend to pull down the whole directory.

edit: I've set up a dummy repo to do some testing here. It should pretty clearly show the project/directory setup I was talking about and whatnot.

Sounding good. Keep thinking out loud. Also note that Fenwyn has graciously offered to host a repository and what works for him, with several potential script writers using it, might steer us towards one set of conventions over another.

Nothing actually goes into the script. Maybe I should explain the whole use cycle better.

Someone posts a new thread with their new WinTheGameScript. It both wins the game and conveniently overrides all relay pages with images of Pokemon. In their thread, they explain:

To Install:

In the mafia gCLI, type
Code: 
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mafiasvntest/code/myvalidproject1/
Click to expand...

That's it. When a user wants to update all scripts that they've installed with SVN, they do svn update in the gCLI. This could be an on-login option, or whatever.
 
Checkout operations are mostly implemented -

Code: 
> svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mafiasvntest/code/myvalidproject2/

The requested repo failed validation. Complain to the script's author.
repo at /p/mafiasvntest/code/myINVALIDproject3 did not pass validation. Aborting Checkout.

So here's what I like so far. It works and it's pretty immune to repositories being poorly set up. It displays the information like I'd want an SVN client to display it.

Here's what I don't like: 84892fd9-0b54-40dc-9589-a4ebc549249b.

Right now, when the user puts in "svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mafiasvntest/code/myvalidproject2/", we need to reproducibly turn that into a unique identifier for that checkout. That awful string is the repository's UUID, a unique string that every SVN repo gets which can be queried. That is what I'm using right now for the folder name to store the working copy. So after checking out, I now have in my file system:

kolmafia\svn\84892fd9-0b54-40dc-9589-a4ebc549249b\<files>

I want a better method that results in that folder being named something human-readable. I'm brainstorming ideas. Maybe parse the URL, split by "/", and use a mashup of the project name (mafiasvntest) and the least-significant-element (myvalidproject2)? Not every svn repo formats their urls like sourceforge, so that's obviously a glaring issue. I dunno.
 
If we have the two facts that inevitably, most of us will use sourceforge, and that different SVNs will have different naming structures for the https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mafiasvntest/code/myvalidproject2/ bit, then we might in all honesty have no problems with just saying "use sourceforge". It would mean that we don't have to manually program in different naming structures for different hosts, although now I come to think of it, in reality this would likely just be a small amount of regex and probably easy to implement.

Then we could parse and do soemthing like the following to get the regex for our domains:

if (url.contains("svn.code.sf")) {
return "sf.net/p/([^/]+)/code/([^/]+)";
} else if url.contains("fakesvndomain.com") {
return "fakesvndomain.com/repos/([^/]+)/([^/]+)"
}

Or whatever.
 
Pretty reasonable. I can probably at worst come up with a nicely-formatted solution for sourceforge URLs and fall back to the ugly solution for others. Obviously adding support for any repo that fewyn hosts.

The other thought I had was to require a top-level scriptinfo.txt file to be included. It can define the project name and whatever other metadata we want to define. The bonus of this approach is that it parlays nicely into other future features, such as a built-in script browser/installer. The downside being additional script maintainer burden, which is lame. I'm thinking that the first approach is preferable, as trivial of a thing as making a small text file is. One more hurdle is one more thing to keep people from using the feature.

Just my opinion, but I do not think it is inevitable that most script writers will move to SourceForge.

If there is enough interest in a repository that Fenwyn is willing to host and maintain one then I would much prefer that, as a writer and user, to SourceForge.
