Need help setting up SmartSVN server

(1/5) > >>

Botsareus:
We are running Ubuntu.
My Instructor needs me to work on a group project.
We have no source version control software, so I suggested SmartSVN.
We installed smartSVN.

The problem is, I have no idea how to set up the server side for SmartSVN...
Can anyone help?

Shasta:
It is honestly not worth setting up a server unless you already know how. I would recommend one of the existing hosting providers like GitHub (supports git) or BitBucket (supports git and mercurial). BitBucket allows for free private repositories which is pretty cool.

Note that both of those only support distributed version control systems, so if you are not familiar with them there will be a bit of a learning curve.

Numsgil:
You can also try google code ]clicky.  I've never used it, though; I always just bit the bullet and paid for hosting (or got Shasta to set things up).

Botsareus:
k, w'ill try


One more question for Shasta:

Will it be any easier to setup a server for a private network???

Shasta:
Well, you technically don't need a central server for Git or Mercurial... but that probably isn't what you are asking. SVN is pretty much set up in one of two ways, being served though mod_dav in apache or over ssh. It isn't too bad as far as setup goes, but you will need a machine that can run it, and there are other things to take into consideration like permissions for the repositories.
