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