How-to for subversion on NorStore

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 as background process on the NorStore node noresg.norstore.uio.no. The svn repository recieves 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

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).
