Subversion
Creating a repository
$ sudo mkdir /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> $ sudo svnadmin /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> $ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name>
Loading a repository from a dumpfile
$ sudo svnadmin load /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> < /path/to/dumpfile $ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name>
Dumping a repository
$ sudo svnadmin dump /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> > dumpfile
Recovering / unlocking repository
- subversion may lock if user ctl-c during checkout or checkout is interupted with an apache restart
- Need policy on who to contact and who can run 'svnadmin recover' as
priviledged access is needed (may need to stop/start apache to drop requests to repository before recover)
Subversion was upgraded to version 1.4.3 (30 Jan. 2007) to reduce the repository locking problem if ctl-c used to end a checkout.
If the repository locks the following command should be used to recover the repository:
$ sudo svnadmin --wait recover /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> $ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name>
In most cases this will work in the odd case that you are waiting a very long time for the command to run then apache may have to be restarted to drop anything accessing the repository and preventing the repository from being recovered
$ sudo /sbin/service httpd restart $ sudo svnadmin --wait recover /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name> $ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/svn/repos/<repo_name>
