Subversion setup with svnserve

After using bazaar for some time I decided to turned back to subversion. The main reason is time. For some reasons my webservers bazaar version is way of my laptop version. So here is my laptop svn configuration. Not clean, not finished.

(This solution with svnserve is not workable in an open source enviroment. People need shell access for this method)

On the server side do

# Make the storage
mkdir /var/lib/svn
# Make sure nobody can read your repo directory
chmod o-rwx /var/lib/svn
cd /var/lib/svn
# Make a test repo
svnadmin create test
# Add test user
echo test = secret >> test/conf/passwd
# uncomment anon-access and change it to none
# uncomment auth-access and password-db
vi test/conf/svnserve.conf
# start deamon for testing
svnserve -d -r /var/lib/svn

As a client

svn checkout svn://test@localhost/test
# password : secret
cd test
touch README.txt
svn add README.txt
svn commit -m "Initial checkin"

Now make sure it survives every laptop boot. That's about init-script, inetd, init, /etc/init.d and /etc/rcX.d or the fast and easy way /etc/rc.local

Bad implementation.

#!/bin/sh -e
# -snip-
/usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /var/lib/svn
exit 0
