Running subversion on Kamikaze

1. Build the subversion packages. They're located in menuconfig under: Network / subversion / <M> subversion-{libs,client,server}

2. Install the subversion server package. It installs some dependencies (apr, apr-util, libexpat, libiconv, libintl, libpthread, libxml2, neon, subversion-libs). Make sure you have enough free space.

ipkg install subversion-server

3. Create a new subversion repository

mkdir -p /srv
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /srv/svn

4. Configure and start subversion
4.1. Configure subversion. The path to the repository and the port on which subversion should listen on can be configured via UCI (/etc/config/subversion).

uci set subversion.cfg1.path="/srv/svn"
uci commit subversion

4.2. Starting subversion and enabling it on boot

/etc/init.d/subversion start
/etc/init.d/subversion enable

5. Check if subversion is running

root@OpenWrt:/# netstat -an
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3690            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[...]

root@OpenWrt:/# ps ax | grep svnserve  
  810 root        580 S   svnserve -d --listen-port 3690 -r /srv/svn

6. On a Linux PC checkout the new subversion repository

ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ svn checkout svn://192.168.1.1/ router-repository/
Checked out revision 0.
ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$

Have fun

Hi,
I tried to run svnadmin, but this error comes:

svnadmin: can't load library '|ø'

I've already installed all the required libs. This error comes with all command of svn****
I have already re-installed the svn-server and the libs.
Does anybody know what to do?

Lukas

After an odysee i've solved the problem:
The message

svnadmin: can't load library '|ø'

means that the libsqlite.so.0 is missing, so i installed the libsqlite2 (libsqlite3 was already installed) and then Subversion works!!!

Have a nice day,
Lukas

hi,

where do i get subversion-server? ipkg update did not find any subversion package.
my ipkg.conf looks like this
src release http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7 … 4/packages
src packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/packages/mipsel

thanks.

Hi,

http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaz … /packages/
Greets,
Lukas

thanks spelth. I have it successfully installed.
but now i encounter another problem. I am able to check out some files from the repo to a XP pc drive. I am however unable to commit changes using tortoise svn. svnserve returned an authorization failed error.

is there something i m missing? some config files that i need to set up user id/pwd?

Yes, look into your svn-directory on the server: cd to conf
In the conf dir are some files. The svnserve.conf is for.... yes, configuration
I, personally, added a line to passwd:

USER = PASSWORD       is the syntax
And then, it works

What should I change exactly (look #4)?

I've tried several things without success...

As always. Compile by yourself. If you have access to a real Linux box you are lucky. If you are on Windows install andLinux VM and compile there.

Compile trunk and extra packages from source: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=15201

thanks, subversion works fine!
