Apache or SVNServe?
Hi,
Why I always see tutorial talking about subversion + Apache
and almost nothing about subversion + svnserver?
I should be wrong, but Apache integration doesn´t seem to be
the more secure option.
What do you think about svnserver?
Thank you,
Ronan

Both Apache and svnserve are fine servers. Neither is inherently
"better" than the other; both are good for different purposes.
svnserve can do less, but can be faster. Apache offers more options,
in particular relating to authentication.
Both Apache and svnserve can be set up insecurely, or securely.
Apache can use the http protocol, which is insecure, or the https
protocol, which is secure. svnserve can use the svn protocol, which
is insecure, or tunnel over ssh using the svn+ssh protocol, which is
secure. You as system administrator need to decide whether you should
use a secure or insecure protocol. Insecure protocols are a bit
faster, which can be a consideration if hardware resources are
limited, but if your repository is accessible outside of a corporate
intranet (that is, available on the Internet) and the contents should
not be publicly accessible (as in, you offer password-protected
access), then you should use a secure protocol.
Instructions for setting up both are in the book:

I use both; if I need to access the repository over the internet where I'm
behind a proxy, I use Apache. Locally, where Apache is configured for other
things on the box we use, I use svnserve.
svnserve is definitely easier, IMHO, to set up, but how you access the
repository should really govern which one you use.

Hi Ronon,
I've just recently migrated our source code repository from CVS to SVN and
initially setup svnserve (which is still set up) but because our central
password store is LDAP I have now changed this to apache as this is the only
way to hook into LDAP for authentication.
cheers

Yes, I use svnserve over ssh too. It's fine.
