Apache Subversion
NOTE: There is a one-click app currently in ALPHA being tested.
Apache Subversion is a full-featured version control system originally designed to be a better CVS. Subversion has since expanded beyond its original goal of replacing CVS, but its basic model, design, and interface remain heavily influenced by that goal. Even today, Subversion should still feel very familiar to CVS users.
This tutorial will show you how to install, create a repo, and browse that repo on your HDA. To use Subversion, you will need a client. There are many to choose from but Tortise SVN is one of the most popular.
NOTE: Tested on Fedora 14.
Setup
- Create web app (Advanced Settings must be enabled on HDA)
- From the Dashboard main page, select Apps at the top.
- Choose Webapps
- Select New Web App button at the bottom
- Enter apachesvn for the Name (ensure the path reflects the name correctly)
- Choose Create
- Open a terminal as root user and do the following:
bash code cd /etc/httpd/conf.d - Look for the ####-apachesvn.conf (#### is some number, i.e. 1000) file and open it in your favorite editor. Add the following to it between ServerAlias and DocumentRoot lines
Text <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/hda/web-apps/apachesvn/html AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repositories" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-users Require valid-user </Location> - Create web page to browse repository

Navigate to http://apachesvn. You should see 3 directories: trunk, branches, and tags. Install a Subversion client and begin using your new repository.
