NAME

6       SVK::Help::Environment - A list of svk's environment variables
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A number of system environment variables influence how svk runs. Below
10       is a complete list of variables you can use to alter svk's behavior.
11
12   All Platforms
13       $SVKROOT
14           Unless you tell it otherwise, svk stores your configuration and
15           repository in $HOME/.svk.  If you set SVKROOT to a path on disk,
16           svk will look there instead of in $HOME/.svk.
17
18       $SVN_EDITOR / $EDITOR
19           Sometimes, svk needs to pop up a text editor. svk first tries to
20           launch the editor specified in $SVN_EDITOR and falls back to
21           $EDITOR if that's not defined.
22
23       $SVKDIFF
24           If you'd prefer to use an external "diff" tool instead of svk's
25           builtin diff library, set this variable to your tool's name or
26           path.
27
28       $SVKMERGE
29           svk lets you resolve conflicts, interactively, with a text editor
30           or use an external diff tool.  Out of the box, svk comes with
31           support for the following merge tools:
32
33            AraxisMerge
34            Emacs
35            FileMerge
36            GtkDiff
37            Guiffy
38            GVim
39            KDiff3
40            Meld
41            P4WinMerge
42            TkDiff
43            TortoiseMerge
44            Vim
45            WinMerge
46            XXDiff
47
48           If you want svk to spawn a specific merge tool, set this variable
49           to the tool's name.
50
51       $SVKLOGLEVEL
52           The lowest log level that svk will present to the user. The log
53           levels are: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL. The default log
54           level is INFO; this includes progress messages for long-running
55           commands (such as sync). For non-interactive use (such as for cron
56           jobs) it might be useful to set $SVKLOGLEVEL to WARN.
57
58       $SVKRESOLVE
59           If you set this variable, svk's interactive resolver will always
60           perform the command it's set to. For more details about the
61           commands available in svk's interactive resolver, type "perldoc
62           SVK::Resolve".
63
64       $SVKMIME
65           Indicates which module is used for automatically detecting the MIME
66           types of files.  Implementations included with core SVK are:
67           "File::LibMagic", "File::MMagic", "File::Type" and "Internal".  The
68           value "Internal" means to use SVK's own internal MIME detection
69           algorithm which requires no external modules.  This poor, but fast
70           algorithm simply assigns "application/octet-stream" to anything
71           that looks binary.  If $SVKMIME has no value, "Internal" is used.
72
73       $SVKPAGER
74           When svk needs to pipe long output through a pager, it uses
75           $SVKPAGER to send the output to your display.  If this variable is
76           not set or set to something that's not executable, the output will
77           not be paged.  svk ignores your $PAGER setting, so you must
78           explicitly set $SVKPAGER if you want paging.
79
80       $SVKLOGOUTPUT
81           By specifying this variable, you change the default output filter
82           used by the "svk log" command.  The value of this variable can be
83           anything that you can pass to "svk log"'s "--output" option.
84
85       SVKBATCHMODE
86           When you set this variable to a true value, SVK should never prompt
87           the user for an interactive response.
88
89       $SVNFSTYPE
90           By default, svk creates its local repository as a fsfs repository
91           when running on Subversion 1.1 and newer. On Subversion 1.0, SVK
92           defaults to bdb.  To explicitly specify a repository type, set this
93           variable to fsfs or bdb.
94
95       $SVKNORAREPLAY
96           By default, svk tries to make use of the replay api provided by
97           Subversion if available.  You can turn this environment variable on
98           to tell svk not to do so.  svk will then use the old "SVN::Mirror"
99           module to do mirroring.
100
101       $SVKSVNBACKTRACE
102           (For debugging use only.) If this environment variable is set to a
103           true value, any error message which comes from the Subversion
104           libraries will be accompanied by a stack backtrace.
105
106       $SVKPGP
107           svk supports the verification of historical changesets using the
108           Gnu Privacy Guard. Note that SVK no longer allows users to sign new
109           changesets.  By default, svk tries to run the first program called
110           gpg in your path. To tell svk to use a specific gpg executable, set
111           this variable to the executable's name or path.
112
113   Win32
114       These variables only apply to svk on Windows.
115
116       $ProgramFiles
117           Set this variable to the directory you install programs into. It
118           defaults to 'C:\Program Files'.
