In a 6-29-2005 notes, Sander said Hi Andy, I installed Subversion on mark.delphion.com. I created userids (first name) for each of you, with passwords identical to your first name. I did not bind Subversion with Apache, as the version on mark is old (and it was much easier this way). Currently I just started the svnserve daemon manually (as newly created user 'svn'). To access the repository with Eclipse, install subclipse (see http://subclipse.tigris.org/), and use as SVN repository (in SVN Repository perspective) URL 'svn://mark.delphion.com/' (and supply userid/password). You can also use the commandline Subversion Windows client of course. I created a sandbox project and an draft layout for our project (the readme explains it a bit). Please consider this Subversion installation as a temporary playground. After we agree on the usage and structure, we will probably import everything fresh. There is no backup running. For installing the subversion server, I did the following (didn't make it an inetd daemon yet), which is also described in the doc/install/subversion.txt. --- On mark.delphion.com (dual 2.8GHz Xeon 2.5GB Red Hat Linux box), I did the following: - Download subversion-1.2.0.tar.gz from http://subversion.tigris.org - Download Berkeley DB 4.3.28 from http://www.sleepycat.com (db-4.3.28.NC.tar.gz) Install Berkeley DB: Untar db-4.3.28.NC.tar.gz cd db-4.3.28.NC/build_unix ../dist/configure make make install Install Subversion 1.2.0 (note undocumented step 2, without it it cannot find BDB 4.3): Untar subversion-1.2.0.tar.gz export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib ./configure make make install Finally, I ran the full test suite by running 'make check'. All tests were successful, but two were skipped (see /root/subversion-1.2.0/tests.log): SKIP: revert_tests.py 2: reverting to corrupt text base should fail SKIP: utf8_tests.py 1: conversion of paths and logs to/from utf8 I added a svn user and its home directory: useradd -d /home/svn -c subversion svn Created repository (as user svn, in its local home directory): su - svn svnadmin create /home/svn/repositories Still as user svn, started the daemon: svnserve -d -r /home/svn/repositories Then I edited conf/passwd and conf/svnserve.conf (and did a chmod 600 passwd) I created an empty sandbox project (containing only the empty subdirectories 'branches', 'tags' and 'trunk') from my remote machine by entering svn import /workspace/sandbox svn://mark.delphion.com/sandbox -m "Initial import"
