Subversion : some progress

Thank you! That was it.

So this step above:

mkdir -p /c/home/svn/repository
chown svn:svn /c/home/svn

should be:

mkdir -p /c/home/svn/repository
chown -R svn:svn /c/home/svn

Now the creation of the repository is fine.

But now I have problems with authenticating. I edited the two files as suggested, but perhaps I did not enter the proper information. Here they are:

For svnserve.conf, I simply uncommented all the options. I had no reasoning behind do so, so if you can advise something more intelligent, I'll go with it. Snipped (...) for brevity.

svn@nas-01-B5-6B:~/repository/conf$ cat svnserve.conf 
...
[general]
...
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
...
password-db = passwd
...
authz-db = authz
...
realm = My First Repository

[sasl]
...
use-sasl = true
...
min-encryption = 0
max-encryption = 256

Actual user and pass obscured:

svn@nas-01-B5-6B:~/repository/conf$ cat passwd
### 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
svn@nas-01-B5-6B:~/repository/conf$ 

Thank you for any further help for this newbie.

Okay you uncommented too much :wink:

Lets just do a basic setup, you can improve it later by reading the svn manual.

svnserve.conf

[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
realm = Repository
[sasl]

Your passwd looks fine.

That worked. Thank you!

This was my first time setting up a SVN repository. If I have some spare time, I'll compile all the details and publish an article "SVN Setup (on ReadyNAS NV+) for Newbies".

Reinstalling APT addon (the latest seems to be dated 2008-10-31) in order to get the most recent and most correct sources.lists file. Adding all libraries as described in the setting up development environment howto. Running: 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 (Might have something to do with our problem below) Make sure that you do ./configure with all options again.

My god, you are good! :)
I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks over this...

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm a relative newbie to both ReadyNAS and to linux.

I've been trying to get a Subversion server setup, mostly using the instructions in this thread.
However, I'm getting errors when trying to install certain packages, and I can't get the 'make' to even work.

What I ultimately need is a subversion server installed that I can access not only my home LAN, but also from outside my LAN - e.g. from work - using https(?)

Here's what I've done, starting with RAIDiator 4.01c1-p2 [1.00a042] with enableRootSSH and apt1.0.bin installed.

• Logged in as root using putty
• apt-get update
• apt-get install nano
• apt-get install libc6-dev
• apt-get install gcc
• apt-get install gdb
• apt-get install libtag1-dev – ERROR - see below
• apt-get install python
• apt-get install coreutils
• apt-get install libtool
• apt-get install uuid-dev
• apt-get install libssl-dev - ERROR - see below
• wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.5.tar.gz
• wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.5.tar.gz
• tar xvzf subversion-1.5.5.tar.gz
• tar xvzf subversion-deps-1.5.5.tar.gz
• rm *.gz
• cd subversion-1.5.5/zlib
• ./configure && make test && make install - OK, no errors
• cd ..
• (now in ~/subversion-1.5.5)
• ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom - ERRORS, see below
• make - ERROR - see below

Anyone got any idea why I'm getting these errors? Should I be using svn 1.5.4 instead?

Any help very much appreciated.

openssl-dev or ssl-dev missing ?

Hi super-poussin, thanks for your response.

If openssl-dev or ssl-dev are missing, how do I install them?

I tried:

apt-get install openssl-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package openssl-dev

and

apt-get install ssl-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ssl-dev

Like I said, I'm a noob, so I'm not sure what I should try.

Thanks
