When debugging, novices insert corrective code; experts remove defective code.
– Richard E. Pattis
Here again, apt is more than generous
$ sudo apt-get install subversion
We do not install with Apache because we will access svn via ssh in a much more secure way. First, we create the directory that will host our project and repo
mkdir /var/svn/MyApplication
we “inform” svn that this directory is a repository
svnadmin create /var/svn/MyApplication
At this point from our favourite IDE, we can check out or initialise the repo when we have it locally, the repo URL is in the following format
svn+ssh://svnserver/var/svn/MyApplication
