*Using the svn:// URL*

ahh... it looks like I can use the svn// URL too. Because of my configuration it adds the base path I gave it in frount of the path I use in the URL. So... I need to use this to get to the reposotory foo: [= svn co svn://pwizardry.com/foo ] [/items/Subversion] permanent link


*Next Miracle - Install Subversion on pwizardry.com*

I've been wanting to install subversion on an internet server for a while. Inertia held me back. That and wondering it would work on a shared server environment like Verio's. I decided today that I wanted to find out. Grabbed the tarball and opened it on my server. Discovered the options in configure that let me install into another location: [= --prefix and --exec-prefix ]. Everything built and installed fine although not fast. True to form, it took three or four passes to get it the way I wanted it. I then started svnservr in -d, daemon mode: [= /usr/home/lyon/local/svn/bin/svnserve -d -r /usr/home/lyon/local/svn ] That -r sets the base location for the repository so you just have to put the last part of the path in the URL. This seems to work with a svn:// type URL but not with my preferred svn+ssh:// one using ssh. I'll be looking at the -t tunnel options later. The URL I'm using is something like: [= svn co svn+ssh://lyon@pwizardry.com/usr/home/lyon/local/svn/www ] ---- [/items/Subversion] permanent link
