Adding users to svn (all files documented here are on gtsvn)

sudo htpasswd -m /etc/subversion/svn-auth-file sally
New password: *******
Re-type new password: *******
Adding password for user sally

Add the user on the commmitters line in the file /etc/subversion/svn-authz. Relevant user info is found in admin in a private folder -- and should be kept.

Optionally, add the user to the alias samicvs in the file /etc/aliases, and run the program newaliases.

New aliases for groups of files for svn should be added to the file /etc/aliases. Thereafter, they will be used in the so-called post-commit hook (i.e. their svn messages will be sent to the members of the alias in question. Do as follows:

• Make a new alias aliasname for svn mail by adding a new line in the file /etc/aliases in this format aliasname: your.address@uit.no, some.person@gmail.com. The aliasname may be the relevant directory, e.g. chr
• Copy the last line of the post-commit script (the file /home/svn/langtech/hooks/post-commit), add the copy as a new last line of the same file, and change the path following -m to the path with the files you want to be covered by the alias. Change the address to aliasname@localhost. The resulting line should look like this:
  • LC_ALL=se_NO.UTF-8 commit-email.pl "$REPOS" "$REV" -m "<path of interest>" -h "gtsvn.uit.no" -s langtech aliasname@localhost
• The post-commit scripts are here:
  • /home/svn/langtech/hooks/post-commit
  • /home/svn/biggies/hooks/post-commit
  • /home/svn/dasago/hooks/post-commit
  • /home/svn/freecorpus/hooks/post-commit
  • /home/svn/boundcorpus/hooks/post-commit
  • /home/svn/private/hooks/post-commit
