====== Install Subversion (SVN) Server ======

I primarily use Git now for source control, but I sometime still need to set up subversion servers for different organizations. These are the steps that I do to install...

Install the necessary packages:
<code>
sudo apt-get install -y subversion apache2 libapache2-mod-svn
</code>

Create the directory of the subversion repository:
<code>
sudo mkdir -p /export/svn
sudo svnadmin create /export/svn
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /export/svn
</code>

Configure Apache 
<code>
cat > /tmp/dav_svn.conf << EOF
  <Location /svn>
     DAV svn
     SVNPath /export/svn
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "Subversion Repository"
     AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd
     Require valid-user
  </Location>
EOF

sudo mv /tmp/dav_svn.conf /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf
sudo chown root:root /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf
</code>

Restart Apache
<code>
sudo service apache2 restart
</code>

Add SVN Users as needed
<code>
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/subversion/passwd username
</code>
