I used Sun Virtual Box<\/strong> before. I’ve just installed Oracle Virtual Box<\/a> on my old Vista to try Fedora 14<\/a>. All I had to do was to download x86_64 Network Install CD<\/a> and go through a minimal installation. <\/p>\n

The first hiccup was I needed to eject CD<\/strong> (ISO image) of the virtual machine (VM) when the installer required to reboot the system. Then, I took a snapshot of this minimalistic system, about 1.1GB.<\/p>\n

The second hiccup was the network adapter. I could not connect to the Internet. The VM was set up to use NAT by default. I had to change it to bridged. After restarting the VM, I had to run:<\/p>\n

\r\n\/etc\/init.d\/network restart\r\n<\/pre>\n
And I could connect using putty<\/a> from my Vista environment.<\/p>\n
I prefer to run Subversion with Apache HTTP Server. So;<\/p>\n
\r\nyum install httpd\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"yum<\/a><\/p>\n
I’m not a vi<\/a> fan, so I had to install nano<\/a> to edit configuration files easily:<\/p>\n
\r\nyum install nano\r\n<\/pre>\n
To install Subversion<\/a> on Fedora, they say you can run:<\/p>\n
\r\nyum install subversion\r\n<\/pre>\n
Yum checks dependencies and you have to accept to install them as well.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
yum install subversion dependencies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Also, to glue the two server (SVN and Apache HTTP) install mod_dav_svn:<\/p>\n
\r\nyum install mod_dav_svn\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"yum<\/a><\/p>\n
I’m sure you will find SVN easy to use, and find many sites explaining how to creating a new repository (or repositories, another debate).<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/the-path-to-svn-repository\r\n#such as \/var\/www\/svn\r\nsvnadmin create repo\r\nsvn mkdir file:\/\/\/var\/www\/svn\/repo\/project1 -m \"Creating project1\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"svnadmin<\/a><\/p>\n
There are many ways to create a layout but I choose to create a directory per project with sub-directories of trunk, branches and tags.<\/p>\n
\r\nsvn mkdir file:\/\/\/var\/www\/svn\/repo\/project1 -m \"Creating project1\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
Inside your home directory checkout project1 (still empty directory):<\/p>\n
\r\ncd ~\r\nsvn checkout file:\/\/\/var\/www\/svn\/repo\/project1 project1\r\ncd project1\r\nmkdir trunk\r\nmkdir branches\r\nmkdir tags\r\nsvn add trunk branches tags\r\nsvn commit -m \"Initial layout for project1\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"svn<\/a><\/p>\n
Now, let’s share our SVN repository with our team members.<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/\r\nnano subversion.conf\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"subversion.conf\"<\/a>
subversion.conf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
For me, main point is to be able to serve SVN repository, so, just define the location and change ownership\/permissions on directory for SVN repository.<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/var\/www\/svn\r\nchown -R apache.apache repo\r\n<\/pre>\n
The system is ready to be used by team members remotely using SVN clients such as TortoiseSVN<\/a>. On the command line, it is as easy as:<\/p>\n
\r\nsvn co http:\/\/localhost\/svn\/repo\/project1 project1\r\n<\/pre>\n
Later, I may write about Subclipse<\/a> which adds SVN integration to my favourite PHP IDE, Eclipse PDT<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
