SVN is used to managed file revisions, branches and application releases. You have to install a SVN server, then a client on each remote computer.


Setup SVN server

installation

Required package

apt-get install subversion

Source folder You must indicate to subversion how it's going to work

mkdir /var/svn
mkdir /var/svn/myRepository

Set rights

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/svn/myRepository 
chmod -R 777 /var/svn/myRepository

→ Use "www-data" user:group if you want to setup web access through HTTP(S) protocol later on.


Automatic startup

Create SVN startup script

vim /etc/init.d/subversionServer

Put the following content

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:             svn
# Required-Start:       $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:        $remote_fs
# Default-Start:        2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:         0 1 6
# Short-Description:    SVN server
### END INIT INFO

do_start () {
	svnserve -d -r /var/svn --pid-file /var/run/svnserve.pid
}
do_stop () {
	start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/svnserve.pid
}

case "$1" in
	start)
  		do_start
 		;;
 	stop)
 		do_stop
 		exit $?
 		;;
 	restart)
 		do_stop
		sleep 1s
 		do_start
 		;;
	*)
		echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart" >&2
		exit 3
		;;
esac


Set execution flags:

chmod 750 /etc/init.d/subversionServer


Create symlinks:

ln -s /etc/init.d/subversionServer /usr/bin/subversionServer



Update boot sequence

Register SVN server to server startup

cd /etc/init.d
update-rc.d subversionServer defaults


Start SVN server

/etc/init.d/subversionServer start


How to remove SVN from boot?

Just execute the following sequence

update-rc.d -f subversionServer remove



Create SVN repository

To do any advanced task, you've to use "svnadmin" To create repository you have to: 1. Create folder 2. Defines rights 3. Creates users


1. Create root folder

svnadmin create /var/svn/myRepo

Create repo structure

cd /var/svn/myRepo
mkdir trunk
mkdir tags
mkdir branches
chmod -R 755 */


2. Adjust rights

mkdir -p /var/svn/myRepo/conf/
vim /var/svn/myRepo/conf/svnserve.conf

Adjust values:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
realm = 'java'

3. Create users

vim /var/svn/myRepo/conf/passwd

Restart your server to use the new repository.


Repository access

You can use the repository with the following SVN URL: svn://server/java



Upgrade repository (Linux)

cd /var/svn/
svnadmin upgrade myRepo


Then you can check the SVN repository version:

cat /var/svn/myRepo/db/format
