SVN server (Windows)

Installation

• Download Visual SVN server for windows: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/download/
• Install Visual SVN server. Choose your installation folder + repository directory

Users / groups configuration

• Open the Visual SVN server application.
• Open properties

Action > Properties

• Click Repositories, adjust “Everyone” rights to Read Only

• Add a new user and add 'read / write' permissions to this new user

Create a new repository (1) – standalone use

Right click on “repositories” -> create New Repository

Enter the repository name and let the server create the default structure for you:

→ Note the SVN URL. You’ll need it later when you’re gonna setup your project, within the maven pom.

Create a new repository (2) – mirror Google Code

Google provides a free subversion service through its “Google Code” service. However, there’s no quality analysis. … So, in order to provide quality checks we will mirror the google code repository.

Therefore, we’ll be able to perform quality scans.

• Create a new repository, see previous chapter

• Right click on the repository -> All tasks -> Manage hooks

You have to edit the “pre-revision property change hook” and put the following command:

exit 0

This will check that the execution (synchronization) was successful.
