Make svnserve load on startup:

First create a new script on init.d

vi /etc/init.d/svnserve

The script’s contents:

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          svnserve
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start subversion server
### END INIT INFO
 
svnserve --listen-host=myhost.com -d -r /path/to/svn/repos

Then make the script is executable

chmod +x /etc/init.d/svnserve

Use update-rc.d to add script to init

update-rc.d svnserve defaults

That’s it!

Install subversion straight from apt.

apt-get install subversion

Migrating svn repository from old server to new server:

As I have all my svn repositories under /home/development I cd to that directory and:

mkdir /tmp/svn ; for a in $(ls); do svnadmin dump $a > /tmp/svn/$a.dump ; done
tar zvcf svn_repos.tgz /tmp/svn/*.dump
scp svn_repos.tgz user@new_server:/tmp

To replicate the old repos on the new server:

cd /tmp
tar zxfv svn_repos.tgz
cd svn
for a in $(ls); do cd /home/development; svnadmin create $(echo $a |sed -e "s/\.dump//"); svnadmin load $(echo $a |sed -e "s/\.dump//") < /tmp/svn/$a ; cd -

To load svnserve on startup:

vi /etc/rc.local
    svnserve --listen-host=myhost.com -d -r /home/development/
