Subversion : some progress

Yeah, I had this problem you have to install dev-libc or somthing , if you go to the how to's on the readynas home page and follow the instructions for setting up a development environment first you will be ok


Also I did not change the dev/urandom and it works fine for me it's not slow at all, I could not get it to work with https though once built i use ssh+svn instead. Let me know if it works with https for you

Okay, I've gotten farther, but still error out. These are the steps I've taken:

1. started with a fresh factory default ReadyNAS 1100 (RAIDiator 4.1.3-T136 [1.00a146] in X-RAID)
2. downloaded EnableRootSSH and APT from here
3. installed those .bin files via FrontView, System>Update>Local
4. logged into my ReadyNAS via SSH (putty)
5. apt-get update (see http://www.readynas.com/?p=145 for details - thanks ianadavies)
apt-get install nano
apt-get install libc6-dev
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install gdb
apt-get install libtag1-dev (this one gave me errors)

6. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.1.tar.gz
7. wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/ ... 5.1.tar.gz
8. tar xvzf subversion-1.5.1.tar.gz
9. tar xvzf subversion-deps-1.5.1.tar.gz
10. rm *.gz (why keep the tarballs?)
11. cd subversion-1.5.1/zlib/
12. ./configure && make test && make install (this is where I got stuck last time but ianadavies pointed me in the right direction)
13. cd ..
14. ./configure --build=sparc-linux --enable-all-static --with-ssl --without-serf --with-zlib=/usr/local

If I understand correctly, at this point my ReadyNAS started chugging along creating the proper configuration for subversion on my machine.

By the way, one of the status lines I got was

checking for entropy source... /dev/urandom

Does this mean that I don't need to worry about the /dev/random vs /dev/urandom issue mentioned in previous posts?

Eventually, however, the configuration erred out with the following (I've cut and pasted the last dozen lines of the 1000+ output lines):

configure: IPv6 support is enabled
checking for working AI_ADDRCONFIG... yes
checking for socklen_t... yes
checking for struct tm.tm_gmtoff... yes
checking for struct tm.__tm_gmtoff... no
configure: zlib not enabled
checking whether to enable ACL support in neon... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for library containing RSA_new... not found
configure: error: could not find library containing RSA_new
configure failed for neon

There were a few other questionable configuration outputs but I'm not sure if they were actually errors or just standard occurrences. I can provide the entire output line dump if necessary.

Does anyone have any insights that might help with this?

try

apt-get install libssl-dev ' I think I came accross this issue too.

See if that fixes it, and yes don't worry about the dev/urandom issue unless it becomes an issue once you start using it.


Cheers

I get a problem build apr which is a part of subversion 1.5.4
Anyone have a solution to this problem?

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

Hi!

Had the exact same problems. I finally made it make after:

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.

Regards, da9l.

-bash: :100: bad word specifier

Does that mean the numeric userid is not valid?

What do I need to do instead to set up a user named 'svn'?

Thank you!

No it is

It is because ! in shell is used to lookup history command.

So with proper escaping that's give :

echo svn:\!:100:102:svn:/c/home/svn:/bin/bash >> /etc/passwd

Sorry for that

Thank you, zfil. That got me a few steps closer.

But now this command fails:

$ svnadmin create /c/home/svn/repository
svnadmin: Repository creation failed
svnadmin: Creating lock dir
svnadmin: Can't create directory '/c/home/svn/repository/locks': Permission denied

I'd greatly appreciate any further assistance. Thank you!

It's a permission problem.

As root try a :

chown -R svn:svn /c/home/svn

Then make sure to su - svn first :

# su - svn
svn ~$ id
uid=100(svn) gid=102(svn) groups=102(svn)
svn ~$ pwd
/c/home/svn
svn ~$ ls -la
total 64
drwxr-xr-x  3 svn   svn   16384 2008-11-09 18:23 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 admin admin 16384 2008-11-09 18:07 ..
-rw-------  1 svn   svn     185 2008-12-07 15:27 .bash_history
drwxr-xr-x  6 svn   svn   16384 2008-11-09 18:19 repository
svn ~$ svnadmin create /c/home/svn/repository

Then the svn create should work fine :)
