My Experience Compiling SVN (for apache) So Far
Wrote what I was doing as I was trying to compile SVN from source
tonight.
Maybe it will help someone else on the list. There is still work to be
done, like SSL and user permissions, but the main meat is there.

I think I'll wait until you've done that before linking to them, then.
(Especially as the current pages are a little bit embedded in their
Content Management System, and would need some unstitching work to be
mirrored anyway).
So sorry for the Yet Another Postponement, but can you tell us the new
links when you have the polished versions up on a stronger server?
The documents do look like they'd be helpful for a lot of people, I
read them over.

Oooh, that'd be great...

My Experiences To Date [Subversion version 1.0.9 (r11378)]
Step 1: Compilation

Please mirror these and not link directly to them. I doubt my little
internet connection could handle a large load.
I plan on writing these up in a more polished way and publishing the
files to a stronger server.
I also plan on going to the "just released" 1.1.1 which has FSFS
support. I'll document how I do with that too and add it to the list.

I am doing authentication with PAM (mod_auth_pam) so all our NIS users
can authenticate with their ordinary user/password, and doing access
control to the repos with AuthzSVNAccessFile.
If you want local users to be able to authenticate via PAM, you must
give apache read access to /etc/shadow. I've set up a group "shadow"
with members root and wwwrun, and /etc/shadow is
rw-r----- 1 root shadow 611 Aug 24 14:23 /etc/shadow
This is not safer than your solution, but good enough in our environment.

Not quite done, but I'd like some feedback on scraping the /etc/shadow
file to populate an AuthUserFile for httpd authentication. Is there a
better way?

I put up red flags all around it, and I know people could really shoot
themselves in the foot (by not using SSL). But who's not to say users
won't pick the same password as their shell login anyway? And wouldn't
it be nice to have it update automagically (or every 5 minutes or so).
Could this be done in a more safe way with PAM somehow?

I'd like to make the link when it's done, if it's convenient for you
to ping us here again when you're finished.

The link is as permanent. I will notify if the bandwidth becomes too
large.
I'm working on finishing up, but compiling PHP is killing me slowly. I
need that for other users on my server.

Thank you. Feel free to mirror the page.

Thanks!
Is this a permanent URL? And are you planning to finish the story?
If so, we might want to link to this from somewhere. You encountered
& solved some common problems, and your text is really easy to follow,
Let us know,
