This document provides steps to set up a Subversion (SVN) repository on a Linux system and configure access for users. It describes how to 1) create an SVN repository and project structure, 2) add users and set permissions, 3) import an existing project, 4) start the SVN server, 5) check out a working copy, and 6) recover an SVN repository if needed. It also provides references for more documentation on SVN and the Subclipse Eclipse plugin.

2. Agenda Introduction Quick Start Checkout and Recovery Eclipse as a client References

3. Introduction How to check whether SVN is already there in your linux system or not? svn svnadmin svndumpfilter svnlook svnserve svnsync svnversion

4. Quick Start Subversion stores all data in a central repository. So first of all create a new repository. $svnadmin create /var/svn/repos Following files and directories are created in the directory /var/svn/repos conf, dav, db format hooks locks README.txt

5. 2. Creating repository for your project say ‘myproject’. /var/svn/repos/ | |--- conf | |--- svnserve.conf |--- dav/ |--- db/ |--- format |--- hooks/ |--- locks/ |--- README.txt |--- myproject/ | |--- branches / | |--- tags / | |--- trunk /

6. 3. Create group of users. $ groupadd myproject_developers 4. Add users to the group. How to add a new user(not already existing) ? $ useradd -g myproject_developers sony $ id sony How to add existing user? $ usermod -a -G myproject_developers mony $ id mony

7. 5. Defining owner and groupowner of the directories db and myproject . $ chown -Rvf root myproject $ chgrp -Rvf myproject_developers myproject $ chown -Rvf root /var/svn/repos/db $ chgrp -Rvf myproject_developers /var/svn/repos/db

8. 6. Change the permissions of directories db and myproject . $ chmod -Rvf u=+rwx myproject $ chmod -Rvf g=+rwx myproject $ chmod -Rvf u=+rwx /var/svn/repos $ chmod -Rvf g=+rwx /var/svn/repos

9. 7. Import existing projects to the repository. $ svn import myproject file:///var/svn/repos/myproject/trunk -m "initial import" 8. Starting the svn server if it is not already running. $ svnserve -d $ svnserve -d -r /var/svn

10. Now its all done.

11. Checkout and Recovery How to checkout the working copy of the specific project repository? $ svn checkout svn+ssh://mony@201.13.146.23/var/svn/repos/myproject/trunk workspace How to recover the SVN repository? $ svnadmin recover /var/svn/repos $ chmod -Rvf u=+rwx /var/svn/repos $ chmod -Rvf g=+rwx /var/svn/repos
