Migrating SVN respository (Linux to Linux)

There are only few easy steps to migrate svn repository. 

Below is the steps to migrate SVN repository:-

• Start your terminal

• $ svnadmin dump /path/to/your/repo > yourreporname.dump

• $tar -zcf yourreponame.tgz yourreponame.dump 
  

  
  Tar command for compress:
  
  This steps is to transfer your dump file to your new machine. You will prompt to enter password for the new machine.
• * For large dump file , you can compress it using tar before sending over thru network.
  
  Tar command for uncompress:

  tar -zxf yourreporname.tgz

  
  
  Tar command for uncompress:

  
  $ scp yourreponame.dump username@new.machine.ip:/path/to/your/new/repo 
  
  

• Now your SVN dump file should be in new machine
• Login to your new machine

• cd /path/to/your/new/repo

• svnadmin create reponame

• svnadmin load reponame < yourreponame.dump

• Done, you just just migrated your svn repository

 

SVN Server on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Web Access

SVN Server on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Web Access

Reference: http://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/svn-server-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-with-web-access/

To install SVN server, run this command at the command prompt:

sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn apache2

Make the directory where you want to keep the svn repositories and edit the dav_svn.conf file:

sudo mkdir /svn
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf

Delete all the data and make it simple like this 

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user
</Location>

To create a svn user, gary , use the following command:

sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd gary

We only need to use the -c option for the FIRST TIME, when you create a user, after that you will only use the -m option.

Move to the folder, where you want to keep your repositories and create your first repository:

cd /svn
sudo svnadmin create test_repo

Make sure you set the permissions of the /svn directory to apache with the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /svn

Restart the apache2 service:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

At this point, the SVN server is running.

In the browser, enter the localhost name or the IP Address to check if the respository is accessible.
