I use Linux Ubuntu 11.04, as root:
First, make sure you have svn installed or you can install it with command:
# apt-get install subversion
mine already installed version 1.6.12
Step 1, create svn repository directory:
# cd /your/repo
# svnadmin create dir
Step 2, edit server configuration:
# vi /your/repo/dir/conf/svnserve.conf
Edit/uncomment following:
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
and uncomment below:
password-db = passwd
Step 3, edit passwd file in the same directory
# vi /your/repo/dir/conf/passwd
edit:
[users]
user = password
Step 4, to run the svn server at boot (from init.d), you need to create a script:
# cd /etc/init.d
# vi mysvn
Then paste code below into the script:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: svnserve
# Required-Start: $local_fs $syslog $remote_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $syslog $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start svnserve
### END INIT INFO

|| return 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \

}
do_stop()
{
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
RETVAL="$?"
[ "$RETVAL" = 2 ] && return 2
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/KILL/5 --exec $DAEMON
[ "$?" = 2 ] && return 2
rm -f $PIDFILE
return "$RETVAL"
}
case "$1" in
start)
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
do_start
case "$?" in
0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 0 ;;

esac
;;

[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
do_stop

2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 1 ;;
esac
;;
restart|force-reload)
log_daemon_msg "Restarting $DESC" "$NAME"
do_stop
case "$?" in
0|1)
do_start
case "$?" in
0) log_end_msg 0 ;;
1) log_end_msg 1 ;; # Old process is still running
*) log_end_msg 1 ;; # Failed to start
esac
;;
*)
# Failed to stop
log_end_msg 1
;;
esac
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
exit 0
Step 5, make the script executable and starts on default runlevel:
# chmod +x mysvn
# update-rc.d mysvn defaults
Step 6, import your project into svn repository:
# svn import project_dir file:///your/repo/dir/project -m "First"
Done.
You can start working on your project by checking out:
$ svn co svn://user@hostname/project myworkingdir
Enjoy.
Thanks to Michal Wojciechowski for the boot script.
