Subversion ( SVN ) Add-on
Hello, Super-Poussin removed the SVN add-on and I was hoping someone (or Super-Poussin) could please update it and bring it back. What was outdated with the old one anyway? I ask because I really do...

Have you created a repository yet? Did you install the related http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=33339]WebSVN addon? Can you log in using that? Note that you can browse SVN (over http) using just a web browser too. It's useful for debugging sometimes. What error does it show?
On my ReadyNAS, I edited the apache conf file to grant access to an SVN group that I created, and then added users to that svn group. After adding the group (in frontview), edit /etc/frontview/apache/addons/SUBVERSION.conf and changeto

I am very sorry, a bad case of case sensitivity caught me... :oops:
I am able now to update via my regular login, via http as well as https (can't remember fiddling that last in though).
WebSVN is installed, next time I'll use that first to troubleshoot, thanks for the tip! It doesn't give any errors when browsing via a webbrowser to the repository.
If I understand you correctly, commenting out those LimitExcept lines will make it impossible for anonymous users to read or write?
