Adding a new SVN repo

How to create a new SVN repository

On the local machine the svn server is on:

Create the new repo:

Shell

# svnadmin create /path/to/repo/reponame

1	# svnadmin create /path/to/repo/reponame

Change ownership to web daemon:

Shell

# chown -R apache.apache /path/to/repo/reponame

1	# chown -R apache.apache /path/to/repo/reponame

Switch to svn account:

Shell

# su - svn

1	# su - svn

Edit policy file to give users access:

Shell

# vim .svn-policy-file

1	# vim .svn-policy-file

Add access to the repo, e.g.

Shell

[reponame:/] username = rw

1 2	[reponame:/] username = rw

Now a new project can be committed to the repo.
