Perhaps you've thought of a great enhancement and you're wondering how to share the idea with the developers?

To start the server at boot time, install the svn bootscript included in the blfs-bootscripts package:. Programming Prev Subversion Running a Subversion Server Running a Subversion Server This section will describe how to set up, administer and secure a Subversion server.

Subversion Server Dependencies Required Subversion Setting up a Subversion Server. Configuration of the Subversion server consists of the following steps: 1. Setup Users, Groups, and Permissions You'll need to be user root for the initial portion of configuration. Create a Subversion repository. Configure the Server As mentioned previously, these instructions will configure the server to use only ssh for write access to the repository and to provide anonymous access using svnserve.

Starting the Server To start the server at boot time, install the svn bootscript included in the blfs-bootscripts package: make install-svn. Prev Subversion This enables collaboration between developers who are working on the same codebase. Although Subversion is commonly used to version control software development projects, you can use it to version control any group of files and directories.

Apache Subversion is invoked on the command line using the svn command. For this reason it is sometimes also referred to as SVN. The list below breaks down the Subversion components you need to install on a system based on your role within a Subversion project:. The Subversion server is a web-based repository consisting of a trunk and branches. Clients work on branches of the trunk until they are ready to be made a part of the trunk repository. A trunk and its branches are a base directory, while directories are branches.

There can be more than one client that accesses the server at the same time. The server instance must remain available and accessible to all clients. Both client and server can be hosted on the same Ubuntu This tutorial covers the steps for installing Subversion on Ubuntu Server Apache Subversion provides a different workflow and version control methodology compared to Git and its derivatives. The table below lists some of the differences between Apache Subversion and Git.

The steps in this tutorial demonstrate how to use the APT package manager to install Apache Subversion. There are pre-compiled binaries of SVN available too. If you are connecting to an existing Subversion server, then an Apache Subversion Client is the minimum installation required.

If you need a full installation of Apache Subversion for local use, then it requires both the client and server components. Repeat this process for each of the other project folders. The repository is now set up and ready for shared use. The key thing to remember when creating new branches and adding new files in the repository is:.

Remember that once you have downloaded the project to your local machine, you may still have to configure your project properly. NET Web application, you may have to register a virtual directory and set directory permissions or add scriptmaps, etc. Also depending on how well you set up the repository, you may be missing some project dependencies.

One very important thing to remember is to make it as easy as possible to get access to any support assemblies required for the project by other users. I tend to create a SupportAssemblies folder in the repository with each solution that holds all non-project assemblies that might be required by the project. I bind to those assemblies in each project to ensure that all developers are working with the same version of external assemblies. With components in the GAC, this can be more tricky-in that case each user must ensure they have the appropriate components registered on their machine.

If possible and if licensing allows , I still distribute any controls in the SupportAssemblies folder to make sure other developers can get up and running. Remember that Subversion uses Copy-Modify-Merge style, which means that files are never locked unless you explicitly do so and you can freely change source files. For general operation you can simply edit files and Subversion will keep track of the changes for you. The red icons appear next to files as well as folders.

Note that the red icon does not tell you whether the file has been changed by anybody else! It only tells you that you have changed the file and need to commit it. To update your changes to the Subversion server, you use the SVN Commit option to synch with the server as shown in Figure 8. You can also selectively clear files, which is useful if you have one or two files that you might not usually update, such as web.

You commit updates of your changes to the server, but in order to receive changes that other users have made and have committed to the server repository you need to explicitly call Update-either on an individual file or a directory. The Update command gets the latest changes and automatically merges any changes from the server with your code. If there is a conflict, you have to resolve the conflict first. If you need to see differences between your local copy and any version of the file in the repository, you can check the repository against your local copy and compare.

There are two options that are useful: Check for Modifications and Diff, both of which let you know that things have changed. Check for modifications shows you all files that are different between local and remote. In a list view you can click on a file, which then brings up a Diff viewer.

The built-in Diff tool shown in Figure 13 shows a side-by-side view of the differences between your local copy and the server copy. The tool above is the default Diff tool, but you can also specify a custom Diff tool, such as Beyond Compare.

CS files. Every file is treated as a single entity and so you need to manage any file relationships on your own by checking in and updating all files explicitly. For example, you may have local settings for connecting to a local copy of SQL Server that has a different server name than for other users.

Or your Web virtual path you created locally is different than that in the main application. Or your local paths may not be the same as the projects in the repository. You may have to check out the project and solution files, modify them, and then leave them checked out permanently on your end to avoid updating your locally specific changes back to the global repository.

Documentation of which parts of. NET file types and automatically adds files to the project to source control-it saves an extra step so you can use standard Visual Studio project workflow to manipulate project items.
