Anyone here use Subversion[1]?
I've had the chance of setting up and installing Subversion on a RH9
machine with Apache. Logins to the repository(ies) are via Samba's
winbindd and mod_auth_pam[2].
Following is the steps I took to set it all up. I've already
previously set up winbindd and Samba to authenticate against our
Active Directory:
1) Download the RPMS for RedHat[3]. RPMS for WhiteBox and Fedora Core
are also available. (see list of RPMS needed below)
2) Install/Upgrade RPMS
3) Download the mod_auth_pam[2] source code
4) Untar and build mod_auth_pam[2] (make sure you have httpd-devel)
5) Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the following load lines
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
LoadModule pam_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam.so
6) Restart apache
7) Edit /etc/pam.d/httpd, replace the auth and account lines with:
auth required pam_winbind.so
account required pam_winbind.so
8) Configure a DAV-accessible location in httpd.conf:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
# All repositories
SVNParentPath /var/svn
# Uncomment below to allow AutoVersioning, see SVN book [4]
# SVNAutoversioning on
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthType basic
AuthName "SVN Repository"
# Per-tree access file
AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/httpd/conf/svn-access
Require valid-user
</Location>
9) Configure an Authz access file (Following grants All r/w):
[/]
*=rw
10) Try it out. Enjoy :)
The server I setup is already live, and is accessible from even behind
a restrictive firewall, and restricts developer access to various
projects. (i.e. HTTP access only through a proxy, no other outgoing
connections). CVS can't match up to that :)
