    Lightbulb [How to] Subversion, working svn server on WL-500gp or WL-HDD

    # Hey

    # i assume that you followed wengi'S great tutorial and your usb hdd is mounted correctly.
    # to install svn package, in my case
    # http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...5-3_mipsel.ipk
    # just run

    Code:
    ipkg install svn
    # prepare the repository, i've mounted my biggest partition under /opt, so here we go

    Code:
    mkdir /opt/share/svn 
    svnadmin create /opt/share/svn/repos
    ls /opt/share/svn/repos
    # should look like:
    Code:
    ls
    conf/ dav/ db/ format hooks/ locks/ README.txt
    # edit /opt/share/svn/repos/conf/svnserve.conf
    # the following authz-db DOES finally work for me, i get NO authentication failures anymore

    Code:
    anon-access = none
    auth-access = write
    password-db = passwd
    authz-db = authz    
    realm = Mefis Home Repository
    # the following authz-db DOES finally work for me, i get NO authentication failures anymore
    # here is an example how to restrict a SVN project to a certain group
    # Notice: here is this example the user mike should be able to connect to the svn project Project01 by connecting with svn://YOURDOMAINNAME/Project01
    # beside of this user mefi is able to access also the root svn://YOURDOMAINNAME/

    Code:
    [groups]
    admins = mefi
    projectgroup1 = mefi, susi, mike, nina
    
    [/Project01]
    @projectgroup1 = rw
    * =
    
    [/]
    @admins = rw
    * =
    # edit /opt/share/svn/repos/conf/passwd
    # choose a username und password you like to use for svn
    # not necessaryly the system user you are using
    Code:
    [users]
    mefi = secret
    # now follows the configuration part for starting svn daemon with xinetd! (NOTICE: this solves the hanging-connection-due-to-low-entropy-problem )
    # edit /etc/services and insert following lines
    Code:
    svn             3690/tcp                        # Subversion
    svn             3690/udp                        # Subversion
    # make it persistent

    Code:
    echo "/etc/services" >> /tmp/local/.files
    # create the file /opt/etc/xinet.d/svnserve with following contents, and edit it to your needs

    Code:
    service svn
    {
    disable = no
    socket_type = stream
    user = YOUR-SYSTEM-USERNAME
    server = /opt/bin/svnserve
    server_args = -i -r /opt/share/svn/repos
    wait = no
    nice = 10
    only_from = 0.0.0.0/0
    }
    # and tatata, our lovely flash mem persistent save (reboot not necessary now)

    Code:
    flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable
    # be sure you have xinet configured for starting up automatically
    # you should have /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd or something like that.


    # the svn daemon should everytime be started automatically if an connection request for the svn ports are detected by xinetd

    # after the next reboot you should be able automaitcally
    # to use svn in your LAN or free the port 3690 in your post-firewall and use subversion from all around the world

    # i've tested all on wl-500gp and wl-hdd with TortoiseSVN and subclipse as
    # clients from my winxp, but should also work with a different configuration.

    # Thanks for this great forum.
    # mefi

    UPDATE (SOLVED SEE UPDATE2):
    unfortunatelly there is a problem with /dev/random and the svn package. ( detail: http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2...using-svnserve )
    WORKAROUND:
    if your svn client hangs then perform some commands on your wl-500gp like find / -name blah or top

    Does anyone has an idea to solve this problem, permanantly?
    There is a new package of svn available (1.4.6). maybe someone could compile for oleg fw

    UPDATE2 (SOLVED SEE UPDATE3):
    obviously dropbear uses randomly generated data while ssh session is active.
    the easiest way not to get the above described "hanging" connection, just log off from your ssh console
    i wondered why this problem occured sporadic, now i know

    UPDATE3:
    whole tutorial above updated.
    I managed to solve the hanging-connection-due-to-low-entropy-problem by using the xinetd for fireing the svn process.
    svn works now like a charm, i tested it by working on an university developing projekt concurrently with 3 other students. and with my own private reachable low cost svnserver i love the svn concept even more than before
    Meanwhile there is a new version of svn package available: svn_1.4.6-1_mipsel.ipk

    Great tutorial!!

    works like a charme forme

    there is only one error:

    echo "/etc/services" /tmp/local/.files

    should be:

    echo "/etc/services" > /tmp/local/.files

    or nothing will happen, right?

    I'm sorry if i ask a stupid question, but what should contain this file /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd ?

    hey, just wondering...
    did anyone get a successfull port-forward?

    as soon as I try to connect from outside, I get the message: "connection unexpectedly closed" in the tortoise svn repo-browser.

    in post-firewall I have this:
    iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3690 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 3690 -j ACCEPT
    as far as I can see with tcp view, there are no other connections between the server and the client

    the url should be like this: svn://192.168.1.1/svn
    at least... if you have a folder called svn in your repository.
    you first need to create a user for main access

    like this:

    in the file auth
    [/]
    admin = rw
    in the file pass
    admin = mypassword

    Hey Guys.

    I just installed Olegs firmware (WL500gp-1.9.2.7-d-r655.trx) on my Asus WL500g Premium (V.1) by following wengi's HowTo on http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=10307.

    After that i tried installing SVN on the Router.

    But i didn't get it working.

    When I try to connect to the router by svn://192.168.1.1/ i only get the following error message:

    Checkout from svn://192.168.1.1/svn, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
    Kann nicht mit Host »192.168.1.1« verbinden: Es konnte keine Verbindung
    hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte.
    In English: "No conn. to Host 192.168....Host rejected connection"

    I don't know whats wrong. So please anyone help me...

    That's what i did (following the upper HowTo).

    Code:
    ipkg install svn
    Code:
    mkdir /tmp/harddisk/svn 
    svnadmin create /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos
    ls says everthing's fine till now

    edited /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos/conf/svnserve.conf like melfi told me to (see post1)
    edited /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos/conf/passwd and /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos/authz

    edited /etc/services (i suppose it's not important, where i add the 2 lines?!)

    #made it persistent
    Code:
    echo "/etc/services" >> /tmp/local/.files
    I found out that xinet.d is not part of olegs firmware. So i downloaded it with
    Code:
    ipkg xinetd
    then
    Code:
    [admin@nabuko conf]$ vi /opt/etc/xinet.d/svnserve
    
    service svn { disable = no socket_type = stream user = nabuko server = /opt/bin/svnserve server_args = -i -r /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos wait = no nice = 10 only_from = 0.0.0.0/0
    finally:
    Code:
    flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable
    btw. my S10xinetd

    Code:
    [admin@nabuko conf]$ vi /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd 
    
    
    #!/bin/sh #OPTWARE_TARGET=oleg OPTWARE_TARGET=wl500g # # Startup script for xinetd # # Stop myself if running killall xinetd 2>/dev/null # Stop other inetd processes if running if [ ${OPTWARE_TARGET} = "nslu2" ] ; then killall inetd 2>/dev/null fi /opt/sbin/xinetd
    As i said, i don't get an conn. to the router via TortoiseSVN.

    Code:
    [admin@nabuko conf]$ ps axf
      
    PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? S 0:01 /sbin/init 2 ? S 0:00 [keventd] 3 ? SN 0:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU0] 4 ? S 0:00 [kswapd] 5 ? S 0:00 [bdflush] 6 ? S 0:00 [kupdated] 7 ? S 0:00 [mtdblockd] 58 ?

    Please help me!
    Ihr dьrft auch in deutsch weiterhelfen

    Thanks & Danke


    P.S.: starting SVNserver by command: svnserve -d -r /tmp/harddisk/svn/repos/ works
    the error seems to be in "/opt/etc/xinet.d/svnserve"....

    I had some problems with svn as well...
    first create a main admin user to log into the server, the account should have access to everything (so that means the dir is "/").
    after that you should come along a whole lot further
