Debian have a policy to backport critical security fixes to the
Subversion package in their supported OS releases - as do Ubuntu,
RedHat, SUSE, and others. Hence there is no need to panic, Debian
lenny won't reach EOL till 2012-04, cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian.

That said, there is merit in having a more up-to-date Subversion release
installed. For Debian, try backports.debian.org (shameless plug).

Using SVN to develop a website

2011-06-13 Thread Roberto

Hi,

I need help on a setup for SVN. I want to use SVN to develop a website, 
in a way that when one of our remote developers commit a change, the 
files is copied on a specific folder, located on the svn server (like 
/var/www/site). Is there any page/faq indicating how to do this? I 
understand that the best way would be to add it at the post-commit hook, 
but I don't know exactly what to add to the script.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Roberto

PS: I'm using svn version 1.5.1(r32289), installed from debian packages, 
on a Debian 5.0 (somewhat old Debian, I know, but for now I need to use 
this version to make sure there are no compatibility problems between 
the development, approval and production servers).

You could also set up a continuous integration server if your project
is more complex than copy files to the right directory.
