Semantic question:
When I talk about repositories I mean the directories *below* /var/lib/svn/
These dirs (each serve different purposes) each is a subversion repository,
right?
So these are the repositories.
like:
/var/lib/svn----private
|--pc
|--marketing
|--engineering
|--sales
|--cad
|--doc
etc...
And what I want to do is rename the directory pc to pcold, then create a new
repository named pc. Which creates and populates a new pc dir.
According to the svnbook it is done like this:
svnadmin create /var/svn/svn-mirror
(where the path in my case is: /var/lib/svn/pc)
But svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/pc throws a *permission error* and when I use
sudo to do it then the new dir with files and subdirs are owned by root:root!
So I had to change owner:group to www-data:www-data recursively for the new dir
pc and its content...
Obviously I am not doing this correctly...
Do I have to be a member of the www-data group? Right now:
$ groups
bosse adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lxd sambashare lpadmin nut
(no www-data)
The Linux server I am using has Apache SVN installed and that is what gives the
https: connectivity.
And if I use my Windows PC browser and go to the svn link I can access the pc
dir but it is empty and on revision 0. (as expected)
(The renamed repo pcold is also available via the browser...)
But I am on an ssh terminal logged on as myself (a sudoer) (using PuTTY on
Windows) when I manipulate the Linux server..
The problems continue on like this when I start creating the hook scripts as
links to the existing scripts, so I had to stop and ask for advice...
Where can I find a howto that is used with Apache SVN to do the sync config
properly?
Right now I have this:
$ ll /var/lib/svn/pc
