Subversion on NorStore how-to

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>.

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).
