Subversion ( SVN ) Add-on

@efalsken: Were you trying to answer my questions? I was able to create the repo using websvn as I stated. Creating the repo is not my issue. To verify I looked at the last line in /opt/subversion/<myrepo>/db/fsfs.conf: enable-rep-sharing = false Again, my questions are (1) how to access the repo from a client and (2) how to add files to the existing repo. Is this a basic svn 101 RTFM kind of question? Actually, yes, it is. Reference: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.tour.importing.html To add files to a repo's /trunk and to get rid of PROPFIND errors cited above: Connect to your ReadyNAS from your computer copy a directory of files <dir> to any location <loc> on your ReadyNAS. ssh to ReadyNAS cd <loc> svn import <dir> file:///opt/subversion/<myrepo>/trunk -m "Initial commit" Subclipse and any other client now can interact with the repo. Hopefully this helps for any other svn import newb.

I didn't have any problems with the initial checkin. But I did have a problem with the WebSVN when looking at an empty repository, or if I had no repositories created yet. On my ReadyNAS, I can log in as any user to gain access to the SVN repository. I added the following lines to /etc/frontview/apache/addons/subversion.conf: Inside the <location> tag.

<Location /svn>
DAV     svn
SVNParentPath   /opt/subversion
SVNListParentPath       On

# Limit write permission to list of valid users.
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "ReadyNAS SVN"
        Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
