Administration and operation of Subversion installations (SVN-WS4)

Abstract:

Subversion administrators maintain the central Subversion server, provide backups and data consistency of Subversion repositories, and are frequently on hand with help and advice for users on the client side. The Subversion service needs to be integrated with the technical infrastructure as well as with other tools involved in the development process.

Goals:

This workshop communicates the basics of Subversion administration on the basis of a typical Subversion server configuration (Linux with the Apache HTTPD web server). The participants get familiar with the repository management tools. Data backup, reorganizing data in existing repositories, and authorization and rights management are trained in exercises.

Hands-on workshop

Duration:

2 Days

Target Audience:

Subversion administrators, IT support
