Remote use of SVN

[Markuz Makkonen <ma...@mbnet.fi>]

Hey,

I've Subversion 1.0.6 set up with https://-schema on Linux.

Do all the remote users connecting their repositories need to
compile/install a svn client on their local machines in case they want to
commit changes etc.?

What command(s) to use with the source for building just the client to be
able to work remotely over https://-schema? Or is there any easier way to
enable svn remote connections on client side?

Not at all.  You just need to tell ./configure that you plan to install
stuff in your home directory, not in a global system directory.

   ./configure --prefix=/home/username

The is the way almost all "./configure; make" software works.  I get the
impression that you don't have much experience building software.  :-) 
You might want to consider grabbing some precompiled binaries for your
system -- perhaps someone can even give you a statically linked client
binary, since that's all you need.

Yes, to checkout a working copy from an svn server, you need an svn
client.

(unpack svn tarball)
./configure --with-ssl
make
make install
