Subversion on Dreamhost

by Frank Kim on Oct.24, 2005, under Subversion

This post is a log of how I personally got Subversion running on Dreamhost using this post.

  1. Obtained the Subversion source from http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html#source-release, compiled it, and put the binaries in my ~/bin directory.
  2. Added the Subversion binaries to my path by adding these lines to my ~/.bash_profile file. 
    # Set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
  PATH="~/bin:${PATH}"
fi

    For this change to take effect you either have to relogin or: 

    $ . ~/.bash_profile

  3. Initialized new subversion repositories. For example: 
    $ svnadmin create ~/svn/mk
$ svn mkdir \
    file:///home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk \
    file:///home/fkim/svn/mk/branches \
    file:///home/fkim/svn/mk/tags

    I am following the suggested way of organizing a Subversion repository.

  4. Imported the files into the subversion repository. For example: 
    svn import ~/meetingkoreans.com file:///home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk/
svn import ~/meetingkoreans.com svn+ssh://fkim@meetingkoreans.com/home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk/

    Note: I was having a strange problem when I tried to do an import and kept getting an already exists error.  It turned out the problem was because what I was trying to import was a link instead of the actual directory.  This might only be an issue on Cygwin.

  5. Checked the files out. To do this locally: 
    svn co file:///home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk meetingkoreans.com

    To do this remotely:

    svn co svn+ssh://fkim@meetingkoreans.com/home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk mkrb
