Apache + Subversion on Linux

Post by jayshields »

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips or good practices to share which should be adopted when setting up/using Subversion to run with Apache on Linux? Or any links to up-to-date introductions/tutorials/resources from respectable sources?

I'm doing this on Ubuntu but I don't think that should make any difference.

Cheers.

You mean "using mod_dav and related modules"?

Yeah, all that stuff. I mainly want advice and best practices on handling concurrent development/live versions of websites with SVN in Apache. Things I'm interested in at the moment include (but not limited to) SSL, authentication, directory structures, commit frequencies, hooks, useful bash commands/scripts, SVN clients, general development/live server setups, etc.

I assume I can learn a bit from poking around existing (public) SVN repo's. So links to ones which incorporate what you think to be good examples would be useful too.

Off topic: is there any interest in creating new threads in this sub-forum for server/desktop distro's 2009?

This is quite good http://www.subversionary.org/howto/sett ... bon-server but maybe some things are different as it isn't for the latest version of Ubuntu.

I might look into Trac more.
