* Installed svn on gf2.ucs.indiana.edu with "yum install svn". First time to use yum, much better than unadorned rpm. * Logged into pamd.csit.fsu.edu, created a new repository with svnadmin create $HOME/VLAB_SVN * Imported vlab source with svn import vlab file:///home/guests/users/mpierce/VLAB_SVN/vlab. * Also was able to list files: svn list file:///home/guests/users/mpierce/VLAB_SVN/vlab. * After fooling around for a bit, I got SVN to work over ssh from gf2. Since my usernames on pamd and gf2 are not the same, I had to use export SVN_SSH="ssh -l mpierce" on the command line. Then the usual SVN command worked: svn list svn+ssh://pamd.csit.fsu.edu/home/guests/users/mpierce/VLAB_SVN/vlab * Checked out on gf2 successfully with svn checkout svn+ssh://pamd.csit.fsu.edu/home/guests/users/mpierce/VLAB_SVN/vlab * I deleted the unnecessary "target" directory with the commands svn delete target svn+ssh://pamd.csit.fsu.edu/home/guests/users/mpierce/VLAB_SVN/vlab svn commit -m "Deleting build directory" * The "vlab" group already exists on pamd, so I changed group ownerships to that. I then had to set the group bit with chmod -R g+s . This means that all new files created in any subdirectories are created with "vlab" group ownership. * Finally, the umask needs to be set correctly. I used umask 007 since this gives group write permission. But it is a problem since my default group is "visitor" so anyone in "visitor" can create files in my account. I think this needs to go in each user's .login or .cshrc file. I got around this by changing all of my group permissions to "vlab". * Looks like a cheap way to set permissions is to alias the svn command to "umask 007; svn". This must be done on each client machine, however, whereas the "put umask 007 in the .login file" requires less work.
