utilities for groups creating their own repos
We are a 50-employee company with an equal number of outside
collaborators. We use svn with apache ssl.
Any recommendations for allowing (not allowing) users to create
their own repositories, and modify the auth and access files
directly?
Are there any svn tools to do this? Or should we write our
own programs (because they would have to be suid).

I'm working on USVN (http://www.usvn.info). It's a php web interface
which allow users to manage subversion repository like creation or
access rights.

We currently have 917 users running against 292 repos - it's mostly
project consulting work.
We don't allow users to create their own repos - that's handled central
at present - but we have scripted it to make it easier.
But all auth admin is done by the users - we have an XML control file
per repo set that lives in SVN. They can edit the file and a
post-commit hook picks up the changes and uses an XSLT script to
generate the apache conf and svnauthz files for fine grained access
control. We control access to the control XML files through the same
mechanism - each repo has 1 or more designated project admins. I
probably get involved about twice a month to help out newbies or when
the admin is unavailable.
I wouldn't say the XML format or the XSLT is elegant - but it works for
us. And I'm happy to share what we have with you.
We do plan a more complete phase 2 to allow repo creation, but we need
something to provide the validation workflow in that case - to make sure
the repo request is valid.

Hey guys,
I found svn-manager was a bit shaky for our needs. I found this:
http://www.usvn.info/ much better. Again, it uses an internal mysql
database, but it seems much better maintained than svnmanager. :)
Let me know if you find any other good ones.
Colin

Hello Anne
We are only a team of 10 people and are using svnmanager
http://svnmanager.sourceforge.net/ which is a php tool for administration of
the access files. It syncronises the files with a internal mysql database
where user can add repos if they are alowed to. At the time I installed our
subversion server i didn't found anything like this tool. If there are other
tools out there I would be greatfull for a hint...
