Vendor Branches for Modules
Primary tabs
Ross Burton's Vendor Branches in Subversion is a decent explanation of how vendor branching works.
CodeGobbler has an article on SVN repository structure for Drupal projects that includes using svn:externals for modules.
Adding a module to your local Drupal repo
Check out a copy of the module section of your local Drupal SVN repo:
cd /tmp
svn checkout file:///var/svn/drupal/modules modules
Within the checked-out copy, create folders for a modules. We'll use the Update Status module as an example:
cd modules
svn mkdir update_status
svn mkdir update_status/current
Commit your changes back to the repository:
cd /tmp/modules
svn commit -m "Added update_status module structure."
The checked-out copy of the modules folder can be deleted at this point:
cd /tmp
rm -rf modules
Now download and untar a release of the module:
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/update_status-5.x-2.2.tar.gz
tar zxf update_status-5.x-2.2.tar.gz
rm -f update_status-5.x-2.2.tar.gz
Normally, when you untar a Drupal module, the resulting directory name doesn't contain the version number. However, in our case we're going to want it to contain that detail:
mv update_status update_status-5.x-2.2
We'll use the svn_load_dirs.pl
script to load the module into current
:
svn_load_dirs.pl file:///var/svn/drupal/modules/update_status current update_status-5.x-2.2 -t update_status-5.x-2.2
Install the module to your site
Navigate to where you want to add the module (sites/all/modules
or sites/sitename/modules
). If the folder doesn't exist, create it. Eg:
cd /var/websites/projectname/htdocs/sites/all
svn mkdir modules
Copy the module to the checked out site:
cd modules
svn export http://<your_svn_server>/svn/drupal/modules/update_status/current update_status
svn add update_status
Upgrading the current module in your Drupal repo
Download the new module version:
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/cck-5.x-1.9.tar.gz
tar zxf cck-5.x-1.9.tar.gz
mv cck cck-5.x-1.9
rm -f cck-5.x-1.9.tar.gz
Load the new version into current
:
svn_load_dirs.pl file:///var/svn/projectname/vendor/modules/cck current \
/tmp/cck-5.x-1.9 -t cck-5.x-1.9
