  • Creating your own SVN repository

    It is now possible to create your own GNOME SVN repository for everyone having a GNOME SVN account.

    The full instructions are at:
    http://live.gnome.org/NewSVNRepos

    But, they are short enough to repeat:

    1. If you need to import the history of some existing repository (SVN or something else), you still need to mail svnmaster@gnome.org with a link to the dump and your GNOME SVN username.
    2. However:

    3. If you just want an empty SVN repos, execute the following:
        ssh $USERNAME@svn.gnome.org new-svn-repos $REPOS

    $REPOS should be all lowercase chars, optionally some ‘-‘ thrown in there as well.
