Subversion : some progress
Hello I've managed to build a working subversion server : wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.0.tar.gz wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.0.tar.gz First untar ...
Thank you to everyone in this thread that contributed, including the issues and fixes. I was able to get subversion 1.6.17 working.
I decided to use 1.6.17 rather than 1.7.0 because there was is no deps package available for 1.7.0. (Otherwise I would need to figure out how to get APR package installed and configured which is outside my expertise. I will try to remember the steps I took, and document the order which I did them.
Please note, that I ended up running all the apt-get commands in the thread to ensure I was up to date with all required packages (especially since I updated apt sources list).
I will describe a one named user configuration, no anonymous SVN access, via svn protocol (not http)
FYI ./configure and compiling took about 2 hours.
I followed the steps to "Setting up a ReadyNAS Development Environment" http://www.readynas.com/?p=145

I followed the steps to "Setting up a ReadyNAS Development Environment" http://www.readynas.com/?p=145
- started with a fresh factory default ReadyNAS (RAIDiator 4.1.7)
- (follow the steps to create a development environment for the NAS) download EnableRootSSH and APT addons
- installed those .bin files via FrontView, System>Update>Local
- logged into my ReadyNAS via SSH (putty)
- apt-get update
- apt-get install nano (I'm not a vi wizard)
- apt-get install gcc
- apt-get install libc6-dev
- apt-get install gcc
- apt-get install gdb
- apt-get install libtag1-dev
- apt-get install uuid-dev
- wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.17.tar.gz
- wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.17.tar.gz
- tar xvzf subversion-1.6.17.tar.gz
- tar xvzf subversion-deps-1.6.17.tar.gz
- rm *.gz (why keep the tarballs?)
- change the file contents of /etc/apt/sources.list to the following:
deb http://www.readynas.com/packages readynas/
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/backports.org sarge-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/backports.org sarge-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free - apt-get update
- apt-get install apt dpkg dpkg-dev
- apt-get install libc6-dev gcc gdb libtag1-dev uuid-dev g++
- apt-get install autoconf automake1.9 intltool libtool
- apt-get install libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev libcurl-dev (Note: I got an error installing libcurl-dev. but it didnt matter, as it was not a dependancy.)
- apt-get install python (the tests depends on python)
- apt-get install coreutils (some stuff in configure is dependent on the uniq command)
- apt-get install libtool
- cd subversion-1.6.17/zlib/
- ./configure
- make
- make test
- make build
- cd ..
- ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local
- make
- make check (note, this failed because some dependancy was missing, it is not critical to run the test suite)
- make install
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 -R svn:svn /c/home/svn
Create repository - su - svn
- svnadmin create /c/home/svn/repository
- cd repository/conf/
- nano passwd
Create the username and password in the file### This file is an example password file for svnserve.
### Its format is similar to that of svnserve.conf. As shown in the
### example below it contains one section labelled [users].
### The name and password for each user follow, one account per line.
[users]
# harry = harryssecret
# sally = sallyssecret
myuser = mypassword - nano svnserve.conf
a basic configuration, uncomment the settings and change as below:
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
realm = Repository
[sasl] - nano ../db/fsfs.conf
to prevent an error during a SVN commitError: no such table: rep_cache
You'll need to disable your svn repository's cache to work around a bug in svn 1.6.5. To do that, just edit repository/db/fsfs.conf and add the following line (if it is there but commented out, remove the leading # to activate it):enable-rep-sharing = false
- exit (get out of su mode)
- nano /etc/services
Add lines to /etc/services like these (if they don't already exist):svn 3690/tcp # Subversion
svn 3690/udp # Subversion - nano /etc/inetd.conf
Add this line to /etc/inetd.conf:svn stream tcp nowait svn /usr/local/bin/svnserve svnserve -i -r /c/home/svn/repository
- killall -HUP inetd
- Finished!
