How to remove repositories from ViewVC commit database?

  • 772

On a Debian system, my ViewVC database still refers to no longer accessible Subversion repositories (archived, moved to another server...)

Because it hosts a large number of repositories, I cannot delete and rebuild for all repositories.... it would be far to long, disk and CPU intensive. 1 Gb MySQL ViewVC database for 90 Gb of repositories.

So how to remove a repository selectively from a ViewVC database ?

    Use svndbadmin purge REPOS-PATH.

    From the output of svndbadmin when not provided any arguments:

    Purge information specific to the repository located at REPOS-PATH from the database.

    Assuming you have multiple repositories, this will allow you to purge the details for one specific repository without impacting the rest of your commit database.
