Updating the subversion 'core'
The smeserver-subversion contrib does not contain the subversion package itself, as this removes the need of releasing a new contrib every time a new subversion version is released.
This contrib is meant to tie it in to SME Server. The command in the installation section will install the latest subversion version yum can find in the enabled repositories. the SME Contribs repository should contain the latest release of subversion. You can install or update like this
yum update subversion --enablerepo=smecontribs
Removal
To remove this contribution issue the following command:
yum remove smeserver-subversion
After yum has finished make sure to issue the following commands:
signal-event post-upgrade signal-event reboot
Usage
After installation you have to create a repository in the server-manager under the subversion menu by pressing the button "Add repository".
Next procedure is to create the recommended folder structure in your repository with this command in a terminal
svn mkdir https://server-name/repository-name/{branches,tags,trunk} -m "Recommended structure"
Additional information
- Each SVN repository is stored on the server under /home/e-smith/files/repositories/{repository-name}
- The URL for a repository is http://{server-name}/{repository-name} (or https://{server-name}/{repository-name}). Care must be taken with the naming of subversion repositories as they share the same web namespace as the i-bays
- In the admin panel, be careful when setting permissions for reading and writing to a repository. When no selections are made in both the "read-only access" lists, or both the "full access" lists, they will default to 'Everyone'. To completely restrict access to specific groups and users, you must make a selection from both the "read-only access" and the "full access" lists, for either one or more groups, or one or more users.
