[evla-sw-discuss] A test svn repo is up for people to play with

[Joe Chavez]

Hello,

Sorry for coming late to the party. There were a few technical issues 
with my "@nrao.edu" e-mail address that are now resolved.

The "svn" and "svn+ssh" protocols work "out of box" as you have 
discovered. This because the use Unix system accounts for authentication 
and access the file system named in the repository path portion of the URI.

If use of the "http/s" protocol is desired then some additional work 
must be done on the server side to enable mod_dav_svn on Apache (and SSL 
if HTTPS is desired).  We ended up using HTTPS because our users 
frequently access the repository from outside the perimeter firewall. 
One advantage of this approach is that the repository can viewed (read 
only) using a Web browser. A disadvantage of this approach is that a 
separate user account database or Apache/LDAP integration must be setup 
for login processing.
