Install Subversion

$ sudo apt-get install subversion
[$[Get Code]]

Add subversion group

$ sudo groupadd subversion
[$[Get Code]]

Add your SSH users to the new subversion group

Edit /etc/group - something similar to,

subversion:x:1003:joe,sally,sue,bob,larry
[$[Get Code]]

Create the main svn directory

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn
[$[Get Code]]

Create projects repository

$ svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/projects
[$[Get Code]]

Edit /var/lib/svn/projects/conf/svnserve.conf

sudo vi /var/lib/svn/projects/conf/svnserve.conf
[$[Get Code]]

Uncomment [general] if it isn't already as below it's not,

# [general]
[$[Get Code]]

No white space at the front or end of lines in svnserve.conf

Uncomment the line starting with password-db as below,

# password-db = passwd
[$[Get Code]]

and change passwd to password-db = /var/lib/svn/security/svn_passwd as below,

password-db = /var/lib/svn/security/svn_passwd
[$[Get Code]]

Edit the password file /var/lib/svn/security/svn_passwd

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn/security/svn_passwd
$ sudo vi /var/lib/svn/security/svn_passwd
[$[Get Code]]

Add the following content for an anonymous login,

[users]
anonymous = anonymous
[$[Get Code]]

Again, no white space at the front or end of the password file too.

Fire up the server

$ svnserve -d  -r /var/lib/svn/projects
[$[Get Code]]

Set permissions on the repository

$ sudo chown -R root:subversion /var/lib/svn
$ sudo chmod -R g+rws /var/lib/svn
[$[Get Code]]

Create a new project repository in the main projects repository

I'm going to do this from another host so you can see what that looks like using SSH. You will have to have a running SSH server and an account.

$ svn mkdir svn+ssh://www.example.com/var/lib/svn/projects/myprogram -m "created myprogram repository"
$ svn mkdir svn+ssh://192.168.1.2/var/lib/svn/projects/wsimage/tags -m "created tags"
$ svn import myprogram svn+ssh://www.example.com/var/lib/svn/projects/myprogram/trunk -m "first import"
[$[Get Code]]

On the local machine, you don't need the +ssh part.

[$[Get Code]]

and I could see the wsimage directory.
