Howto create new svn repos

You will need root access to the iridia server. Standard place to put repositories is /home/svn. Some legacy repositories are in /usr/local/share/svn_repositories.

1. # svnadmin create <path to repos>/REPOSNAME --fs-type fsfs
2. # groupadd REPOSNAME
3. # remove ! from /etc/gshadow in REPOSNAME line
4. # useradd REPOSNAME -g REPOSNAME
5. # Put * instead of ! in /etc/shadow in REPOSNAME line (= no login)
6. # Put all users into group line of REPOSNAME in /etc/group (COMMAS!!)
7. # Put all users into group line of svn_user in /etc/group (for higher level dir access)
8. # cd <path to repos>
9. # chown -R REPOSNAME.REPOSNAME REPOSNAME/
10. # chmod -R o-rwx REPOSNAME
11. # cd REPOSNAME
12. # find . -type d -exec chmod 2770 {} \; (2=setgid bit - new files have group of dir, not group of creating user)
13. # find . -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;
