Description Kamil Rytarowski 2012-01-31 01:41:37 CET 
Description of problem:
Please give access to the SVN repository ( http://svnweb.mageia.org/ ) over RSYNC (or equivalent) protocol.

It was proposed already in the sysadmin-mailinglist as a wish-feature initially for svn-searcher.

Why do you need to access it with rsync protocol ?

Comment 2 Kamil Rytarowski 2012-01-31 02:06:43 CET 
I wish I synchronized just the data I need - to keep only the revision I need... with RSYNC syncing ~10,000 SPEC files from the Cauldron directory-tree is very simple and not so abusive. And this is just ~30 MB!

Mirroring the whole SVN (using svnsync or equivalent) isn't a good solution (mainly the disk-space is a problem).

I need only the latest revision and the needed needed files (*.spec) in certain directories (current).

I haven't found any simple (and not abusive for a client and the server) way to do it with SVN.

I need the data for this http://kamil.mageia.org.pl/svnsearch.cgi (pre-alpha preview).

I doubt rsync will permit that, since this would mean access to the raw repository, and therefor, would sync everything.
