Searching old code that was hosted on tigris.org: svnwcrev-1.0.tar.gz


Once upon a time there was the open source collaboration platform tigris.org. Tigris.org will shut down on July 2020 and is not accessible anymore. I need an old file from it for a commercial project:

svnwcrev-1.0.tar.gz
svn checkout http://svnwcrev.tigris.org/svn/svnwcrev/trunk svnwcrev --username guest

It is a Linux port of the Subversion Tortoise tool SubWCRev. I asked the maintainers of tigris.org already for a copy. Is there anything else I can do to get a copy of the svnwcrev-1.0.tar.gz or does someone has one ?

(Yes, I did google, I also tried archive.org. No, I did not read the manual. Yes, we considered migrating to git ;)

Thanks a lot.


Solution

  • In collaboration with the subversion mailing list I found a way to replace svnwcrev in our use-case by a single line of shell script.

    printf '{"%s","%d",""}' \
         $(svn info $1 --show-item=url) \
         $(svn info $1 --show-item=revision)
    

    Thanks for your support. $1 refers to the first argument to a shell script, alternatively the $1 it can be replaced by a folder name. You can also leave $1 away, then the current folder is examined.
