I'm not sure why you would be issuing "svn checkout" daily -- is there a reason you cannot "svn update"? Try this line (run "crontab -e" to open the editor): 03 22 * * * cd pywikipedia && svn update -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers If you correspond with me on a regular basis, please read this document: http://www.chrishowie.com/email-preferences/ PGP fingerprint: 2B7A B280 8B12 21CC 260A DF65 6FCE 505A CF83 38F5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is addressed.

In svn a checkout of its remote location to an existing checkout is equivalente to svn up it. In most other vcs he wouldn't have been able to do that.

So, Is there a difference between "svn update" and "svn checkout"? On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:39 PM, Platonides <platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I was under the impression that there was, but apparently not. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers If you correspond with me on a regular basis, please read this document: http://www.chrishowie.com/email-preferences/ PGP fingerprint: 2B7A B280 8B12 21CC 260A DF65 6FCE 505A CF83 38F5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is addressed.

I don't see any difference. In some forums, users said "in checkout command, all files in repository are reviewed; in update, only search for the differences"[1] Well, it's a forum, but IMHO "svn up" is the best option to put in the crontab.

Yes. svn checkout <url> <folder> makes a "copy" of the current version of the repository at <url> into <folder> (if you omit <folder>, it uses the end of <url>) svn up <item> Where <item> is a folder of file in a file or repository, updates it to its latest version. Usually, you go to the root of your copy of the repository copy and run svn up, which updates to its later version the current folder, and thus your whole copy.

Yes, I think so.
