Reference no: EM13332202
You have been asked to install an SVN repository on a server. The SVN will be remotely accessed using the svnserve daemon 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 configure 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 daemon mode do not use inetd mode, do not use an ssh encrypted tunnel). (Hint: Use the ex-ample init script /etc/init.d/skeleton and remember to explain your changes.)
c. Create an SVN repository at /usr/local/svn/
d. configure the repository and define the repository usernames and passwords.
e. Implement configuration and runtime options that increase security, explaining why your choices increase security?
f. Test your configuration, 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 files you modify or create.
Notes:
a. Explain in your own words each operation you needed to perform to get the Subversion system working. Your descriptions of each operation need to show you understand the purpose of the operation.
b. Access to the repository must be via the server. This means that the URL must begin svn://localhost/. The SVN client can access the repository directly from the file system But that does not demonstrate that the server is up and running and is useless for distributed revision control.
c. Do not explain how you installed packages!
d. List all resources used in answering the question.
