Apart from being used as a developer repository, subversion is used by Trac.
Subversion installation was pretty straightforward. I installed the RPMs with yum:
# yum install subversion mod_dav_svn
–Optionally install bindings for languages
# yum install subversion-perl subversion-ruby subversion-java
– create a repository
# svnadmin create /var/www/svn/repository-name
– edit httpd.conf (the RPM creates /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf)
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
– create a location
<Location /svn>
Options Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Subversion Login”
AuthUserFile /var/www/access/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
– restart apache
Note for all you rocketscientists who use the SVNParentPath directive:
http://localhost/svn returns 404 Forbidded. Navigate to http://localhost/svn/respository-name works.
Set up svn to use HTTPS optionally.
