Monthly Archive for April, 2005

Today I thought about how to have different revisions of my project documentation which is a condition precedent to my degree.
After weighting up CVS and Subversion I decided to use Subversion.
It wasnt such short like it looks here to get all the needed informations together. Anyways, here it goes:

# apt-get install subversion subversion-tools
# mkdir /advdrv/svn
# svnadmin –fs-type fsfs create /advdrv/svn
# addgroup subversion
Adding group `subversion’ (1003)…
Done.
# chgrp -R subversion /advdrv/svn
# chmod -R o-rwx /advdrv/svn
# chmod -R g+rw /advdrv/svn
# chmod g+s /advdrv/svn
# adduser waja subversion
Adding user `waja’ to group `subversion’…
Done.
# adduser –system –home /advdrv/svn/ subversion
adduser: Warning: The home dir you specified already exists.
Adding system user `subversion’…
Adding new user `subversion’ (112) with group `nogroup’.
Home directory `/advdrv/svn/’ already exists.
# su -c “/usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /advdrv/svn/” subversion
# apt-get install websvn
$ svn import projectdoc svn://localhost/projectdoc/ \
-m “Initial Version”
