Just tried to adapt the above patch but it failed. Message on commits remains the same. Config is the same, as above. What else to try?

I see a few problems with the plugin design:

  • svnpolicy.conf is compiled in the egg, so the egg must be recreated when the config is changed.
  • The location of site-packages is retrieved through the location of the egg. This causes problems with developing in "edit mode", and I assume would also cause problems if the egg is placed in the Environment plugins directory rather than the site-packages directory.
  • The plugin writes to packages.pth in the egg in response to a POST request. I don't think we can assume that the web server will have write access to the egg.

We do need a way to pass environment variables to the hook scripts, which has always been a problem with Subversion since the hooks run in an empty environment. Subversion 1.8 has a configuration for hook script environment variables. I think we could eliminate svnpolicy.conf and hooks/packages.pth, and instruct the user how to configure the hooks environment in Subversion 1.8 and later. Subversion 1.8 seems like a reasonable requirement since it was released in June 2013.
