A short overview of Version Control, based on a Wikipedia article but edited for Subversion users.

This article provides example business use-cases to explain why you may want to use Subversion in your Ant build process and show you how to integrate Subversion into your Ant build process.

This is a quick set of guidelines for making the best use of Subversion in your day-to-day software development work. These best practices are taken from the book Version Control with Subversion, which can be downloaded from openCollabNet

Introductory article to Subversion and version control. Use with caution.

Yes it is true we build and bundle our own OpenSSL library. I’ve opened a
ticket internally to bundle a default trusted certificates list with out
package.

I have installed subversion 1.5.5-1 on CentOS 4.4.

I followed http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialApacheAddingLoginSiteProtection.html#NIS

I followed all the steps except I downloaded and installed “Apache2-AuthenNIS-0.15” instead of “Apache-AuthenNIS-0.13”.

I added following in /etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/httpd.conf.

# Code for nis authentication

AuthType Basic
AuthName “Enter your login ID:”
PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenNIS
PerlSetVar AllowAlternateAuth no
require valid-user

Now, svn configuration fails with the following error:

Stopping CollabNet Subversion: Syntax error on line 128 of /etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command ‘PerlAuthenHandler’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Starting CollabNet Subversion: Syntax error on line 128 of /etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command ‘PerlAuthenHandler’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

When I try to install mod_perl2 (mod_perl-2.0.4):

cd mod_perl-2.0.4
perl Makefile.PL
…
Please provide a full path to ‘apxs’ executable
(press Enter if you don’t have it installed): /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/apxs

[ error] Unable to open /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/include/ap_release.h: No such file or directory
[ error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[ error] Invalid MP_APXS specified?

I can not file /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/include directory in Collabnet’s installation.

Please help.
