SVN administration

Create an SVN repository called "vf48"

• login as root@ladd00
• cd /home/daqweb/svn
• svnadmin create vf48
• edit /etc/viewvc/viewcvs.conf, in "svn_roots", add "vf48: /home/daqweb/svn/vf48," (notice the trailing comma!), go to "http://ladd00.triumf.ca/viewcvs", you should see the "vf48" repository, it should be empty.
• chown -R daqweb.mirror vf48
• chmod -R u+wr,g+wr vf48

Enable svn: access (DO NOT DO THIS)

• cd vf48/conf
• edit "passwd", add users and their passwords (swear at the svn authors: passwords are entered in clear text)
• edit "svnserve.conf", uncomment "[general]", "anon-access = read" and "passwd-db = passwd". Uncomment the line "realm = " and make it read "realm = VF48 SVN repository"
• chmod a-r,u+r passwd
• repository is now ready for use.

Enable https: access

• login as root@ladd00
• cd /home/daqweb/svn
• add new repository to dav_accessfile: create new groups and usernames as needed. User "svn" (password "svn") should have read-only access
• add new users to dav_passwd using the htpasswd utility: htpasswd dav_passwd username (will prompt for password)
• file dav_group is not used

Convert plain directory to SVN

• read explanation of canonical repository structure at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.maint.html
• cd directory_to_convert
• mkdir foo --- create an empty directory in svn
• cd foo
• svn import . https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/daqsvn/trunk/name_of_my_svn_directory -m "Create svn directory"
• cd ..
• rm -rf foo (we no longer need it)
• svn checkout https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/daqsvn/trunk/name_of_my_svn_directory . (notice the dot)
  
• svn status (shows all files with status '?' - not managed by svn)
• svn add Makefile *.h *.cxx
• svn commit
• go to http://ladd00.triumf.ca/viewcvs/daqsvn/trunk/name_of_my_svn_directory --- you should see your files there

Import stuff into the "trunk"

• read explanation of canonical repository structure at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.maint.html
• cd directory_with_stuff
• svn import . https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/daqsvn/trunk/test11 -m "Test import"
• cd ..; mv directory_with_stuff obsolete
• svn checkout https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/daqsvn/trunk/test11
