How to install Subversion on CentOS 4.5

Posted July 23rd, 2007 by sugree

I was assigned to find out how to install Subversion on CentOS. It is a good version control system right now, especially for development teams in any enterprises. Installing Subversion on CentOS is quite easy as follows.

  1. Install packages using yum

    yum install subversion mod_dav_svn

  2. Configure /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf as you wish.

    LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so
 

    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
    
       AuthType Basic
       AuthName "Subversion repos"
       AuthUserFile /var/www/svn/htpasswd
       Require valid-user

  3. Prepare the repository.

    mkdir /var/www/svn
cd /var/www/svn
svnadmin create myrepo
chown -R apache.apache myrepo

  4. Now we are ready to restart httpd.

    service httpd restart

And then we are able to import codes right now.

Yum Installing Subversion 1.1.4 on CentOS

Hello, Surgee--it's John from Bangkok! Did a Yahoo search and look who's website I ran across! I just install Subversion on CentOS 4.5 via yum and it installed v1.1.4. How did you wind up with 1.4.x? I also heard it v1.4.x requires an updated version of apr and that might break my custom apache 1.3 compile. (Or not?) Running into problems doing diffs via WebDAV with v1.1.4; it's a bug in pre v1.2.x Subversion--so I need > v1.2
