Networked respository
Hi all,
I'm a new user to Subversion and am confused about how to access the
respository when it is not on my local computer.
The repository is on a machine named snidely with a share named whiplash
(we have a Rocky & Bullwinkle theme to our network)
'Snidely' and most of the client machines are running Windows XP service
pack 2.
I can map a drive using the net use command: net use s:
\\snidely\whiplash
Then, the command svn list file:///s:/svn/pcs42 lists the branches,
tags, and trunk folders.
However, I'd really like to do this without have to define a network
drive. Is this possbile?
If I use the command: svn list file:///snidely/whiplash/svn/pcs42
I get the following errors...
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///snidely/whiplash/svn/pcs42'

Should you however want to stay with the 'file:' protocol, you can use
the file://<server>/<share> syntax in combination with Windows share
and a FSFS repository. That does however assume you have all
prerequisites to run your hookscripts on all systems able to access
the share.
HTH.
bye,
Erik.

Yes, of course. You just have to follow the preferred way of using a
Subversion repository. For this you have to install a Subversion server
on the machine holding the repositories ("snidely"). No network share
has to be created resp. mounted by the clients.
The server can be based on a stand-alone server process (svnserve) or
on an Apache HTTP server. svnserve uses only one TCP port (default:
3690). Both don't depend on any Microsoft-like stuff (SMB, CIFS, ...).
Before you ask how to install such a server you have to read the
Subversion documentation. And there have been LOTS of discussions if
the svnserve or Apache based server is better. Short answer: It depends
on your requirements. Apache allow more detailed access rights and user
authentication against LDAP, svnserve is faster and has very simple
configuration files with cleartext passwords.
For your first experiments I recommend svnserve since you are
independent of a properly configured Apache web server.
With best regards
Andreas

did you try
svn list file://snidely/whiplash/svn/pcs42
?
