You have been asked to install an SVN repository on a server. The SVN will be remotely accessed using the svnserve dmon that is supplied with SVN (please note that this is not the most secure way to access an SVN repository) Install the distributed revision control system subversion from the Debian package of the same name. After installation you will need to con gure subversion to be usable.
Tasks that will need to be done:
a. Install the subversion package.
b. Write and install an init.d script to automatically start and stop svnserve (the subversion server) at boot/shut-down (in dmon mode| do not use inetd mode, do not use an ssh encrypted tunnel). (Hint: Use the example init script /etc/init.d/skeleton and remember to
explain your changes.)
c. Create an SVN repository at /usr/local/svn/
d. Con gure the repository and de ne the repository usernames and passwords.
e. Implement con guration and runtime options that increase security|explaining why your choices increase security.
f. Test your con guration, repository and running server by creating a project in the repository. Show that you can check in and check out documents from the repository.
(Note: this is supposed to be a remote repository so all tests must be done via the svn server.)
g. Document and explain in your own words the steps required to get the subversion system working. Include an explanation of every command you use (plus any command line options) and any les you modify or create. Your descriptions of each operation need to show you understand the purpose of the operation.
