What is subversion?

Subversion (SVN) is an open source version control tool based on a repository whose operation greatly resembles that of a file system. It is free software under an Apache/BSD type license.

It uses the concept of revision to save changes made to the repository. Between two revisions it only saves the set of modifications (delta), thus optimizing the use of disk space as much as possible. SVN allows the user to create, copy and delete folders with the same flexibility as they would if they were on their local hard drive. Given its flexibility, the application of good practices is necessary to carry out correct management of the versions of the generated software.

Facility:

Bash

root@subversion:~# apt-get install subversion

We create the folder where the repository will be hosted

Bash

root@subversion:~# mkdir /var/svn

Next we create a project that in our case I will call redorbita

Bash

root@subversion:~# svnadmin create /var/svn/redorbita

We start subversion

Bash

root@subversion:~# svnserve -d -r /var/subversion/

We verify that it has started

Bash

root@subversion:~# ps -fea | grep subversion

root 3322 1 0 13:24 ? 00:00:00 svnserve -d -r /var/svn/

We proceed to configure access to the storeroom. We will find this configuration in /var/subversion//conf/svnserve.conf

Bash

vi /var/svn/redorbita/conf/svnserve.conf

[general]
anon-access = none

auth-access = write

auth-access = read

password-db = passwd

Next we configure a user and password in /var/subversion/conf/passwd in my case the user will be called rokitoh and his password will be 123456

config

vi /var/subversion/conf/passwd

[users]

rokitoh = 123456

Using the svn info command we can obtain the repository information.

Bash

root@subversion:~# svn info svn://127.0.0.1/redorbita

Reino de autentificación: <svn://127.0.0.1:3690> bc22cd4a-76a7-45a2-9c12-3e529fba6b20

Clave de ‘root’:

ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm:
<svn://127.0.0.1:3690> bc22cd4a-76a7-45a2-9c12-3e529fba6b20
can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure

your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if

possible. See the documentation for details.
You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value

of the ‘store-plaintext-passwords’ option to either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in

‘/root/.subversion/servers’.

Configure subversion to be able to access it through a web browser.

We install Apache and the subversion library

Bash

apt-get install apache2 libapache2-svn php5 libapache2-mod-php5

We activate the modules

text

a2enmod dav_svn

a2enmod authz_svn

We add the modules

Bash

vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

We proceed to configure /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf in this file we will tell you where the repository is located

Apache

<Location /redorbita>

DAV svn

SVNPath /var/svn/redorbita

AuthType Basic

AuthName «Subversion Repository»

AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

Require valid-user

</Location>

We create the user and the group

text

groupadd subversion
addgroup rokitoh subversion

We create the user intended for subversion

text

htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd rokitoh

New password:

Re-type new password:

Adding password for user rokitoh
htpasswd /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd jenkins

We configure both the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files as follows:

Bash

cat /etc/hostname

subversion.CDP.redorbita.com

cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1    localhost

127.0.1.1    subversion
192.168.1.57 subversion.CDP.redorbita.com subversion

127.0.0.1 localhost.subversion.CDP.redorbita.com localhost

192.168.1.57 subversion.CDP.redorbita.com

We create a script in /etc/init.d/ and configure it to start at system startup.

sql

cat /etc/init.d/subversion

svnserve -d -r /var/svn
update-rc.d subversion defaults

update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing

insserv: warning: script ‘K01jboss’ missing LSB tags and overrides

insserv: warning: script ‘subversion’ missing LSB tags and overrides

We check that access via http works correctly:

text

svn co –username rokitoh –password 123456 http://192.168.1.57/svn/redorbita PRUCHECKOUT

svn: OPTIONS de ‘http://192.168.1.57/svn/redorbita’: 200 OK (http://192.168.1.57)

Greetings, rokoth!
