Subversion

To set up a subversion server, install the subversion software. Then

useradd -m svn
groupadd svn

Find out where subversion expects its repository

/etc/init.d/svnserve start
Starting svnserve svnserve: Root path '/srv/svn/repos' does not exist or is not a directory.
                                                                     failed

Create the respective directory

svnadmin create /srv/svn/repos

Start the subversion server

/etc/init.d/svnserve start

Run it

svn co svn://localhost
