[Sputnik-list] New commit of Sputnik with Subversion

[Yuri Takhteyev]

(If anyone is lost as to what we are talking about, look at
http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/sputnik/Using_Storage_Modules)

At least for the time being, I would rather keep wikifilestorage as
the default module.  I am quite excited about svnstorage and want to
start using it, but the default installation needs to be as simple as
possible.  So, sputnik.lua in /trunk/ should default to use it
wikifilestorage.  Second, make sure that any changes you make to get
wikisvnstorage to work do not break wikifilestorage.  If you need
changes to the wikistorage interface, that's fine, but please make
sure to update and test both modules.  I will try to do the same.

For the time being, I just added a config variable "STORAGE_MODULE"
which is supposed to have the name of the storage module.  If it's not
set, it will default to "wikifilestorage".  However, we should
probably do at least a few extra things:

1. If require fails (e.g., which is what happens when I try to set
STORAGE_MODULE to "wikisvnstorage" without having built it), we should
give a meaningful error message, which should probably contain a link
to the wiki page for the corresponding module.  However, let's deal
with this problem separately - there generally needs to be a decent
solution for error handling.  I will look into this problem myself.

2. We will have to rethink the interface somewhat in terms of what
information is passed to the storage module.  The simplest thing to do
would be to pass to open() all of the config table, and then let the
module pick from it whatever it needs.

I am going to try building luasvn now.

Now you just have to extract "sputnik-data.tgz", enter into the directory "sputnik-data" and type "svn import file:///WIKI_DATA_DIR"
