Dariush Debian Diary

Setting up remote Subversion repository on debian (woody)

First, you need some packages, using backports.org is probably the easiest route.., add this:

deb http://www.backports.org/ woody subversion
deb http://www.backports.org/ woody apache2

to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Subversion itself is also available at deb http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/subversion-woody/ ./

enable:

# dav_svn.conf - Example Subversion/Apache configuration
#
# For details and further options see the Apache user manual.

# <Location URL> ... </Location>
# URL controls how the repository appears to the outside world.
# In this example clients access the repository as http://hostname/svn/repos
<Location /svn>

# uncomment this to enable the repository
DAV svn

# set this to the path to your repository
SVNPath /var/lib/svn

# The following allows for basic http authentication.  Basic authentication
# should not be considered secure for any particularly rigorous definition of
# secure.

# to create a passwd file
# # rm -f /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
# # htpasswd2 -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd dwhedon
# New password:
# Re-type new password:
# Adding password for user dwhedon
# #

# Uncomment the following 3 lines to enable Basic Authentication
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

# Uncomment the following line to enable Authz Authentication
# AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

# Uncomment the following three lines allow anonymous read, but make
# committers authenticate themselves

<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>

</Location>
