    Hi Folks,

    Im hoping there are some developers riffling through this forum that have perhaps used SVN and hopefully even set it up. I have used SCM in a few jobs and its generally straight forward with an IDE like Eclipse cutting down on alot of friction. Unfortunately though I've never set an SCM repo and alot of the tutorials Im finding online are a bit confusing as they dont explain alot of stuff its just use this command.

    Can anyone recommend a good tutorial that will walk me through setting up an SVN repo on Ubuntu for just basic usage. I want to use it for my college projects for code and documents. Any and all suggestions welcome.

    Dave

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion

    and if you want http access

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheHTTPserver for apache.

    This gives simple instructions for setup and is fine if it's for local lan access. If you need remote access there are other security configurations you'll need to consider.

    If you need access to it anywhere you might be better off going for one of the code services that offer private repositories. This thread offers some advice

    I am curious why you want to use SVN, especially considering Linus's extreme distaste for it and CVS.

    Because its a solid, proven, version control system, with good and common tool support.
    If a decentralised version control system isn't specifically required, why not use SVN?

    Who cares what Linus Torvalds finds distasteful?

    The linux kernel has a specific need for a distributed system; many projects don't; for many projects SVN does the job very well.

    I dont particularly care what he thinks either (although it does hold weight) I just bring it up because the OP uses Ubuntu.

    Nor do I have anything against SVN, in fact so far its the only version control Ive used :D.

    Just curious.
