Subversion : some progress

Hello

I don't understand why it is not working for you ...

I've done the usual stuff :

Download sources

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.4.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.4.tar.bz2

Build
First untar both previously downloaded tgz.

cd subversion-1.5.4/zlib
./configure && make test && make install
cd ..
./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom
make
make check

56 tests out of 56 must run successfully.

make install

And it is working very well :lol:

For the record I use svnserve (svn protocol), this build don't create the apache module but anyway for a NAS I think it is MUCH better to use a svnserve as it lightweight as faster.

Here the configuration steps I've done :

Create svn user and group

echo svn:!:100:102:svn:/c/home/svn:/bin/bash >> /etc/passwd
echo svn:x:102: >> /etc/group
mkdir -p /c/home/svn/repository
chown svn:svn /c/home/svn

Create repository

su - svn
svnadmin create /c/home/svn/repository
cd repository/conf/
vi passwd svnserve.conf

passwd and svnserve.conf must be configured for the authentication

Add lines to /etc/services like these (if they don't already exist):

svn           3690/tcp   # Subversion
svn           3690/udp   # Subversion

Add this line to /etc/inetd.conf:

svn stream tcp nowait svn /usr/local/bin/svnserve svnserve -i -r /c/home/svn/repository

Restart inetd

killall -HUP inetd
