Topic: [announce] Two new docs : Subversion HOWTO and NFS HOWTO

[Landry]

hello all !!

i've took the time to rewrite and polish my notes, so i've written two new howtos for the community :
- One for Subversion, the well-known Concurrent version system. The doc explains how to setup a basic http access to the repository using WebDAV
- One for NFS, to transform your SME into a full Unix network area storage

Everything is here:
http://sme.firewall-services.com
Or direct access:
http://sme.firewall-services.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=subversion
http://sme.firewall-services.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=nfs

I hope these will be useful to some of you
Don't hesitate to contact me for any information or feedback.

I am working on Subversion too... but would like to implement it into the server manager (just like the ibays), have a basic setup (the configuration of the httpd is done with templates and the internal database) but can not figure out how to create the directories from the server-manager in combination with events (cloning the ibays script seems to fail in my case, probably a lack in my perl knowledge).

I also use a more up-to-date version of subversion (1.3.0) which can be found here: http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/bin/

I use a bit different setup and use the AuthExternal function to make use of users that are configured on the system itself, and use RewriteRules to force SSL if I need it.

I also make use of the configuration/accounts database so I can easily modify the repository users and groups and use it also for holding the settings.

A good howto, I've installed Subversion a few months ago.

Looking forward to your TRAC howto !

Subversion is very interesting!

Do you have any experience in using GUI frontends suitable for typical Windozze developers?

Any experiences / suggestions would be welcome!

I know at least TortoiseSVN, RapidSVN, and maybe Eclipse through a plugin.... but i DON'T have windows users, only me, and i have not used windows since w2k

Hi Landry looked at the howto for nfs like to install it and use it to export ibays to the internal lan for installing linux systems would this be possible or do you have to export from the export directory.

Thanks in advance.

[Landry]

Once you have NFS installed, you can export any directory on the server. you just have to put the right paths in the configuration file /etc/exports.
The howto is clear about that, and you should also read man exports.

Step 5 : add the directories you want to export in /etc/exports. (Here, i export the entire additional disk to my workstation and my desktop. man exports for more information on the options).
