I just followed the following instructions http://www.spikesoft.ch/?p=314 and it all worked within 10 minutes. It's installing the latest 1.5.x version. I'm running the latest unslung version.

 ipkg install grep

Problem with SVN 1.5.x

On my slug (Unslung 6.10 beta) when upgrading from SVN 1.4.x to 1.5.0-4 I got two library dependency problems. I solved them by installing the "neon" and "apache" package (since Subversion seems to need their libs now), although I didn't want to use these packages themself.

Turns out the problem is a missing dependency in apr-util. And it has been fixed starting apr-util 1.2.10-4.

Problem "svn: Final line in revision file longer than 64 characters" occurs when checkout

SVN has dependency with APR, which needs grep that supports long line search. Default grep of NSLU2 doesn't support, so you have to install standard grep package.

 ipkg install grep

Some people reported svnserve has problem starting

As a work around

 ipkg install e2fsprogs

Turns out the problem is a missing dependency in apr-util. And it has been fixed starting apr-util 1.2.10-4.

Subversion (currently Vers.1.4.5-1) is available via ipkg.

Some people reported svnserve error starting

 svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The developers are investigating the problem. As a work around

 ipkg install e2fsprogs

• the following tests all use the local access via file://

• accessing from a windows box via TortoiseSVN and ssh works

Josh Parsons created a package of Version 1.2 which you can find in the feeds. It also has WebDAV (mod_dav_svn and mod_dav_authz) support.

The package installs the WebDAV Apache modules in /opt/libexec. Configuration files are located in /opt/etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_dav_svn.conf.

Subversion (currently Vers.1.4.2-1) is available via ipkg.

And adding this two lines in /etc/services if they are not already there

svn 3690/tcp # Subversion

svn 3690/udp # Subversion

NOTE: I had problems using space in the repository path with inetd (even if I use "" around the path), so I had to set up my repository in a path without space or to not use the -r option.

You may set up as a inetd service by adding following line to /etc/inetd.conf

svn stream tcp nowait svnowner /opt/bin/svnserve -i -r /home/svnowner/repos

Then use "/etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd restart" command

Or as a xinetd service by creating svn file in /etc/xined.d/ with the following content:

service svn {

        port                    = 3690
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = svn
        server                  = /opt/bin/svnserve
        server_args             = -i -r /svn/repositories

}

Then use "/etc/initd.d/xinetd restart" command

Interesting Trick

launchsvn.sh

# launchsvn.sh

# Subversion server...

The package installs the WebDAV Apache modules in /opt/libexec. Configuration files are located in /opt/etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_dav_svn.conf.

Interesting Trick:

If you want to know everytime someone accesses your repository, you can create a script called, say, launchsvn.sh as I did whose contents are as follows...

1. launchsvn.sh

Set_Led beep1 Set_Led beep1 /opt/bin/svnserve -i -r /path_to_root_of_repositories

Then, in your inetd.conf (usually in /etc)...

1. Subversion server...

svn stream tcp nowait root /path_to_script/launchsvn.sh

Now your NSLU2 will beep twice everytime the svn service is invoked. =)

If svn complains about openldap-libs missing, install unslung-feeds (seems to add an ipkg repository to the ipkg configuration with natively compiled packages). After that install openldap-libs. After that I also ran into the following problem (and solved it as described). --jsilence

Subversion (currently Vers.1.2.0) is available via ipkg.

I had some issues installing it. After updating svn to the new package it complained about problems with the expat library. What I did is updated Apache to the most recent version. Then I removed the expat package with "ipkg remove expat --force-depends" and reinstalled it. After that svn worked okay.

Have the package under infrequent use for a couple of months now, but using only the above subset of the features. No flaws so far. YMMV. I have virtually no time to do more intensive testing, sorry

Would be nice if someone, maybe the original maintainer, could compile Vers.1.2. WebDAV support and file locking...

There has been medium testing done so far. Looks good, but especially since there are big endian vs little endian issues with the slug I would still consider this 'not ready for prime time'.

• move and add works
• running svnserve in demon mode works
• accessing from a windows box via TortoiseSVN? and ssh works

• import works
• checkout edit commit diff update cycle works

After installation it complains about librt.so.1 missing. It can be copied from the toolchain. You'll find it in the directory /gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.2.5/armv5b-softfloat-linux/lib/
This was tested on the 2.* branch of uNSLUng, maybe the problem is not there on the 3.* branch.

http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion is a version control system, meant to be a compelling replacement for CVS.

The svn binary runs after that but little further testing has been done so far.

progress:

• creating of repository with svnadmin create svnrepository works
• svn import complains that no EDITOR environment is set -> export EDITOR=vi
• import appears to work
