How to Setup ViewCVS Access to a Subversion Repository

Added by Pete Kazmier, last edited by Ben Walding on Mar 14, 2008  (view change)

The following process will provide ViewCVS access to a Subversion repository (at some point, this process will be automated at project creation time):

  1. Edit /home/projects/FOO/haus.d/httpd.conf to include: 
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin ops@codehaus.org
    DocumentRoot /home/projects/FOO/scm_web
    ServerName svn.FOO.codehaus.org
    ServerAlias svn.FOO.org
    CustomLog logs/svn.FOO.codehaus.org combined
                                                                                
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/?$    /viewcvs.cgi/?root=FOO    [R]
</VirtualHost>
  2. Add a symbolic link to the master viewcvs.cgi program to /home/projects/FOO/scm_web: 
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/viewcvs-1.0-dev/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi /home/projects/FOO/scm_web
  3. Bounce the Apache server to reload its configuration.
  4. Ask a despot to fix DNS
