General Information
This is a guide on how to setup an OpenBSD 3.9 based Subversion 1.40 and Apache 2.2.X Source Code Respository server that uses the fsfs db format with no authentication/security. Should you need Authentication you can read the FreeBSD Subversion guide on this site until I create the 4.0 based guide. This is not a definitive guide but a how to. Considering this, the methods used here may not be the best ones or the most correct and assume you have some knowledge of unix. If you have any updates and such, please e-mail them to me.

pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/libltdl-1.5.22p1.tgz pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/libtool-1.5.22.tgz pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/libxml-2.6.16p8 pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/python-2.3.5p3 pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/swig-1.3.24p1 pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/gmake-3.80p1 pkg_add http://openbsd.mirrors.pair.com/ftp/3.9/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2p0.tgz
Download and install Neon 25.5
wget http://webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz tar xfz neon-0.25.5.tar.gz cd neon-0.25.5 ./configure --with-ssl && make && make install && cd ..
Download and install Apache 2.2.X
wget http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/httpd/httpd-2.2.X.tar.gz tar xfz cd httpd-2.2.X ./configure --enable-dav --enable-dav-fs --enable-vhost-alias --enable-headers --enable-so \ --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-ssl --enable-deflate && make && make install && cd..
Download and install Subversion 1.40
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz tar xfz subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz cd subversion-1.4.0 ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apu-1-config \ --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-swig=/usr/local/bin/swig \ --enable-swig-bindings=perl,python --enable-maintainer-mode --with-httpd=/root/httpd-2.2.3 gmake && gmake install && cd ..
Configuration
Configure Subversion user/group and repository.
useradd -u3690 -g=uid -c"Subversion" -d/var/empty -s/sbin/nologin _svn mkdir /var/svn && mkdir /var/svn/svnrepos svnadmin create /var/svn/svnrepos/svnrepo0 svnadmin create /var/svn/svnrepos/svnrepo1 svnadmin create /var/svn/svnrepos/svnrepo2 chown -R _svn:_svn /var/svn/svnrepos
Edit the Apache2 httpd.conf to read subversion repositories
/usr/local/apach2/conf/httpd.conf:
Apache Module Config:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
Apache User & Group Config
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run # httpd as root initially and it will switch. # # User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as. # It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for # running httpd, as with most system services. # User _svn Group _svn
Apache SVN Directive Config
DAV svn SVNListParentPath on SVNParentPath /var/svn/svnrepos # AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/YOUR_USERNAME/svn/obj-sh/subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work/authz # AuthType Basic # AuthName "SVN repos" # AuthUserFile /home/YOUR_USERNAME/svn/dav_svn.passwd # Require valid-user
Start Apache2 to start svn repo
/usr/local/apache2/apachectl start
Add Apache2 to startup and shutdown scripts
/etc/rc.local:
if [ -x /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd ]; then
echo -n ' Apache2 & Subversion'; /usr/local/apache2/apachectl start
fi
/etc/rc.shutdown:
if [ -x /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd ]; then
echo -n ' Apache2 & Subversion'; /usr/local/apache2/apachectl stop
fi
Reboot the system to test and enjoy!
