For the repo, I usually use exclusively svn+ssh protocol and DSA keys for authentication. It's a lot simpler to just let ssh do authentication than it is to futz with wrapping subversion up in apache, you don't have to mess with a separate auth database, and you get security and authorization (which users can use what repositories) as a side effect. I usually make my repo owned by group svn, change permissions so the group has write access to the db, and invite my svn users to that group. Since svn+ssh is basically local access through an ssh tunnel, there's no service to configure, and I can immediate connect remotely. For a web interface, trac's repository browser is very nice. You can front it through fastcgi on apache or lighttpd. Trac has a nice wiki link feature that lets you link in to the repository browser. For example, [123] on any wiki page will be rendered as a link to the browser that shows information for changeset 123. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
