 ===== How it works ===== ===== How it works =====
  
-NorStore uses the [[http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.choosing.html#svn.serverconfig.choosing.svnserve|svnserve]] server solution to connect local svn repositories to the internet. +NorStore uses the [[http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.choosing.html#svn.serverconfig.choosing.svnserve|svnserve]] server solution to take local svn repositories online. 
  
-For every new repository, an svnmerge demon is started as background process on the NorStore node noresg.norstore.uio.no. The svn repository recieves the URL <nowiki>svn://noresg.norstore.uio.no/<repository name></nowiki>.   +On the NorStore node ''noresg.norstore.no'', a svnmerge demon is running as a background process. The demon serves repositories that are stored in NorStore's project work space in ''/projects/NS2345K/svn''. The svn repositories each receive an URL of form <nowiki>svn://noresg.norstore.no/<repository name></nowiki>   
  
 ===== Prerequisites ===== ===== Prerequisites =====
  
-To administer svn repositories on NorStore, following prerequisites must be fulfilled:   +To create and manage a repository, you need a user account at NorStore which is member of the ns2345k project.  
-  * you must have a user account at NorStore +      
-  * your NorStore user account must be member in the ns2345k group  +The creator of a repository has the full flexibility to grant remote read/write access to external users. Once the repository is create, the use of the repository does not require a NorStore account. The repository creator can define svn users (consisting of a user-name with corresponding password) which in general have no relation to NorStore user accounts.       
-  * your NorStore user account must have access to noresg.norstore.uio.no + 
-   +To start and stop the svn server, your NorStore user must in addition have access to noresg.norstore.no. Currently, this group contains following people: Alf Grini, Ingo Bethke, Thierry Toutain and Martin King. 
-Users that fulfill these prerequisites can take local ns2345k repositories stored in (<wiki>/projects/NN2345K/svn</nowiki>) online/offline and have the full flexibility to grant read/write access for NorStore svn repositories to external users (i.e., the normal use of the repositories does not require a NorStore account).     +
