I followed the instructions on http://www.sunfreeware.com/subversion.html
Worked nicely. Here my notes which also include a new svcadm entry (which I found somewhere on the web and made it work on my Solaris box) to allow starting it up and shutdown Solaris: ------------- Since Solaris 10 it is using svcadm instead of the vanilla rc3.d etc. way of starting a service. 1) Install svn. Best here is to the packages from http://www.sunfreeware.com/. 2) Set needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH and MANPATH to include the new stuff. (Remember to add Apache's libs and bin explicitly) 3) Create a svnserve.xml file (see below) to be used to configure svcadm. We will teach svcadm about this new service vi the command svccfg import svnserve.xml svnserve.xml (assuming your svnserve is installed under /usr/local/bin as package SMCsvn154 <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"> <service_bundle type='manifest' name='CSWsvn:subversion'> <service name='network/svnserve' type='service' version='1'> <create_default_instance enabled='true'/> <single_instance/> <dependency name='loopback' grouping='require_all' restart_on='error' type='service'> <service_fmri value='svc:/network/loopback:default'/> </dependency> <dependency name='physical' grouping='require_all' restart_on='error' type='service'> <service_fmri value='svc:/network/physical:default'/> </dependency> <exec_method type='method' name='start' exec='/usr/local/sbin/svnserve start' timeout_seconds='30' /> <exec_method type='method' name='stop' exec='/usr/local/sbin/svnserve stop' timeout_seconds='30' /> <exec_method type='method' name='refresh' exec='/usr/local/sbin/svnserve refresh' timeout_seconds='30' /> <stability value='Unstable' /> <template> <common_name> <loctext xml:lang='C'>Subversion Standalone Server</loctext> </common_name> <documentation> <manpage title='svnserve' manpath='/usr/local/man' section='8' /> <doc_link name='Subversion Official' uri='http://subversion.tigris.org/' /> <doc_link name='Subversion Book' uri='http://svnbook.red-bean.com/' /> </documentation> </template> </service> </service_bundle> 4) Copy the svnserve script below to /usr/local/sbin and give it execute permissions (chmod 655 svnserve) #!/sbin/sh ## Copy/Rename this script to /usr/local/sbin/svnserve ## Please change $REPOS to the location of your SVN Repo <=== !!!! SVNSERVE=/usr/local/bin/svnserve REPOS="/data/repos/" [ ! -d ${REPOS} ] && exit $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG case "$1" in 'start') ${SVNSERVE} -d -r ${REPOS} exit 0 ;; 'stop') kill `pgrep svnserve` exit 0 ;; 'refresh') ## There is no restart for svnserve, so we simply ## kill it and restart. The only reason to do this ## is to change startup options on svnserve. ## We sleep for 5 secs because more than likely ## SMF will restart it before we do. kill `pgrep svnserve` sleep 5 pgrep svnserve || ${SVNSERVE} -d -r ${REPOS} exit 0 ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | refresh }" exit 1 ;; esac 5) Install / create your repository .. in this case under /data/repos 6) Now install the new service with the command: svccfg import svnserve.xml Check status with svcs -l svnserve root at mybox # svcs -l svnserve fmri svc:/network/svnserve:default name Subversion Server enabled true state maintenance next_state none state_time Tue Nov 04 12:38:18 2008 logfile /var/svc/log/network-svnserve:default.log restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default contract_id dependency require_all/error svc:/network/loopback:default (online) dependency require_all/error svc:/network/physical:default (online) 6) Now enable it with the command: svcadm enable svnserve Diable it via svcadm disable svnserve 7) Open possible firewalls to allow clients to access svn://<ip of solaris box>/trunk (I have some probelms to get this to start automatically after reboot and mostly have to issue the svcadm disbale svnserve; svcadm enable svnserve to get it to work) Good luck B-) On 3/13/09, mark babcock <markababcock at gmail.com> wrote: > How can I upgrade to SVN (subversion) 1.5? > > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-help mailing list > opensolaris-help at opensolaris.org >
