Subversion on NorStore how-to

How it works

NorStore uses the svnserve server solution to connect local svn repositories to the internet.

For every new repository, an svnmerge demon is started on the NorStore node noresg.norstore.uio.no as a background process. The repository has the URL svn://noresg.norstore.uio.no/<repository name>.

Prerequisites

To administer svn repositories on NorStore, following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

you must have a user account at NorStore

your NorStore user account must be member in the ns2345k group

your NorStore user account must have access to noresg.norstore.uio.no

Otherwise, the repository administrators have full flexibility to grant read/write access to the repositories to external users (i.e., the normal use of the repositories does not require a NorStore account).
