* Subversion Server Notes
* -----------------------
*
* If you intend to run a server, a repository needs to be created using
* svnadmin (see man svnadmin) or the following command to create it in
* /var/svn:
*
* emerge --config =dev-vcs/subversion-1.6.13
*
* Subversion has multiple server types, take your pick:
*
* - svnserve daemon:
* 1. Edit /etc/conf.d/svnserve
* 2. Fix the repository permissions (see "Fixing the repository permissions")
* 3. Start daemon: /etc/init.d/svnserve start
* 4. Make persistent: rc-update add svnserve default
*
* - svnserve via xinetd:
* 1. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/svnserve (remove disable line)
* 2. Fix the repository permissions (see "Fixing the repository permissions")
* 3. Restart xinetd.d: /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
*
* - svn over ssh:
* 1. Fix the repository permissions (see "Fixing the repository permissions")
* Additionally run:
* groupadd svnusers
* chown -R root:svnusers /var/svn/repos
* 2. Create an svnserve wrapper in /usr/local/bin to set the umask you
* want, for example:
* #!/bin/bash
* . /etc/conf.d/svnserve
* umask 007
* exec /usr/bin/svnserve ${SVNSERVE_OPTS} "$@"
*
* - http-based server:
* 1. Edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 to include both "-D DAV" and "-D SVN"
* 2. Create an htpasswd file:
* htpasswd2 -m -c /var/svn/conf/svnusers USERNAME
* 3. Fix the repository permissions (see "Fixing the repository permissions")
* 4. Restart Apache: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
*
* Fixing the repository permissions:
* chmod -Rf go-rwx /var/svn/conf
* chmod -Rf g-w,o-rwx /var/svn/repos
* chmod -Rf g+rw /var/svn/repos/db
* chmod -Rf g+rw /var/svn/repos/locks
*
* If you intend to use svn-hot-backup, you can specify the number of
* backups to keep per repository by specifying an environment variable.
* If you want to keep e.g. 2 backups, do the following:
* echo '# hot-backup: Keep that many repository backups around' > /etc/env.d/80subversion
* echo 'SVN_HOTBACKUP_BACKUPS_NUMBER=2' >> /etc/env.d/80subversion
*
* Subversion contains support for the use of Memcached
* to cache data of FSFS repositories.
* You should install "net-misc/memcached", start memcached
* and configure your FSFS repositories, if you want to use this feature.
* See the documentation for details.
