A long time ago I setup SVN on my remote server. I connect to it locally from eclipse using
svn+ssh://kris@hostname:22/srv/svn/repo
I now need to add another user and I can’t for the life of me work out how to do it. I can’t even find where the current user account “kris” is located.
I am using
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
compiled May 14 2012, 05:36:26
http://subversion.tigris.org/
Speaking with my Linux guru he lead me to the solution.
I am not using SVN’s authentication. I am using linux authentication so the steps are
Create a new linux user.
then add them to a group that has access to the single repository
useradd username
passwd password
groupadd groupname
vi /etc/group
look for groupname
add username to that line
chgrp -R groupname /repoLocation
chmod -R g+w /repoLocation
problem solved
