Integrate Subversion with Mantis

Follow these steps:

• Install Subversion using the system packages:

        $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y subversion
  

• Create a repository using the following commands:

    $ sudo mkdir /opt/bitnami/repositories
    $ sudo svnadmin create /opt/bitnami/repositories/myapp
    $ sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/repositories
    $ sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/bitnami/repositories
  

• Create a new Mantis user, which will be the user that the script will run as. Edit the /opt/bitnami/mantis/config/config_inc.php file and add the following lines:

    /* Subversion Connection*/
  
    $g_source_control_account = 'svn';
    $g_source_control_regexp = '/\b(?:bug|issue)\s*[#]{0,1}(\d+)\b/i';
    $g_source_control_set_status_to = RESOLVED;
    $g_source_control_set_resolution_to = FIXED;
    $g_source_control_fixed_regexp = '/\bfix(?:ed|es)\s+(?:bug|issue)?s*[#]{0,1}(\d+)\b/i';
  

• Create the post-commit script, which will call Mantis after every commit, at /opt/bitnami/repositories/mantis/hooks/post-commit. Fill it with this content:

    #!/bin/bash
  
    REPOS="$1"
    REV="$2"
    SVNLOOK="svnlook"
  
    auth=$($SVNLOOK author -r $REV $REPOS)
    dt=$($SVNLOOK date -r $REV $REPOS)
    changed=$($SVNLOOK changed -r $REV $REPOS)
    log=$($SVNLOOK log -r $REV $REPOS)
    n=$'\n'
    /opt/bitnami/php/bin/php -q */opt/bitnami/mantis/scripts/checkin.php <<< "Changeset [${REV}] by $auth, $dt$n$log$n$changed"
  

• Change script permissions so that it can be executed by the daemon user:

    $ sudo chown bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/repositories/mantis/hooks/post-commit
    $ sudo chmod 775 /opt/bitnami/repositories/mantis/hooks/post-commit
  

This script will add a line to the corresponding Mantis issue number when a commit message references that issue number, such as:

$ svn commit -m "whatever issue #number whatever"

It will also close the Mantis issue with status “resolved” when a commit message includes the word “fixed” and the issue number, like this:

$ svn commit -m "whatever fixed issue #number whatever"
