So strange that I only just now noticed that you sometimes use Springloops. I've been using Springloops since early 2007, but I know very few other people who use it. I've been thinking of switching to Github, but I have a lot of projects that depend on Springloops auto-deploy export feature. It is very handy. I read this blog all the time.

This key may show up in your web server logs, but hopefully those logs are secure anyway. I haven't figured out a way to get access to any hooks (like <a href="http://www.codersrevolution.com/index.cfm/2008/9/15/Creating-a-postcommit-hook-for-Subversion" rel="nofollow">post-commit</a>) in the springloops repository, but if you are hosting your own svn server that works well, too.

So, could I run all the symfony tasks from there? Or is that a really obvious security threat? Yeah, I see they ask for a url that they would trigger after each deployment.

This script of yours could be used to rebuild your models, run db migrations, etc. I don't mind having all of the generated classes in SVN except that each time you rebuild your model with a slight change, *all* of those model files get a new timestamp and end up showing up as modified files in that checkin, which is annoying. But no, it wouldn't be a huge problem. Tom, it’s common to have a post-deployment script activated that would get triggered by springloops after it gets done copying your files.

It wouldn't be too much trouble to upload the main symfony library now and again, but I also use externals for plugins, so keeping track of all the changes would be a pain in the arse. But it's good to hear that they have a solution in the pipeline. My question to you, and anyone else, who would like to comment is: the problem with deploying directly from Springloops is that you'd miss out on all the autogenerated model classes. I know that it's not 'done' to include autogenerated files in an svn repo, but would it cause a huge problem if I did? Since I am using the Rackspace Cloud, Springloops is a very attractive solution -- they don't offer rsync. Anyway, I'd love to hear your/others' thoughts. Cheers, Tom Hey guys,
