Hi,
In my apply for a schell I said that I need it for managing a repository. For that I have to install "subversion" and run a "svnserve" (part of subversion installation) in a daemon mode.

Now, I have a shell acount and don't have a persmissions to install "subversion".

The question is: who I have to connect for help me with installation, and also who can give me the persmission to run svnserve from the shell?

Thanks

First of all try to give more information about "subversion" and if you can, post a link of it too. If an admin reads this he'll say if it's allowed or not.

As long as CVS is fine, subversion should be fine as well.

De-Kus: thanks

Rommaster: it's more then to be allowed or forbiden. I can't even install it on the shell (no persmissions) and of course I need the persmision/open port to run it.

Why not just start a project at source forge?

http://sourceforge.net/index.php

It will give you a subversion repository, a shell to work in and webspace. A better place for proect development. (sorry guys).

Hm... thanks revenhair:)

I'll check this option out...if i'll be able to admin the repository, then its seems to be perfect option..

Yeah, I'd reccomend SourceForge as well, just for their canned tools and stuff.

nighthawk: if they will aprove my request for project space, I'll use this option.. but if the will declain.. will it possible to use my shell for this porporses?

Depending on how subversion actually works (I installed it on one of the old servers for a user but have no idea if it ever actually got used) then I may install it for you.

I'll have a read up on it later on if I get a chance.

Tim:

Subversion is improvment of CVS. Creates a repositroy (wich as actually a database - uses BercklyDB or internel FSFS). Every action is allwed by CVS allowed by Subversion (with some improved algorthm and design).

The network connection to a repository is made by svnserve (part of subversion installation) in default port 3690 (or any other spesified) in two modes: daemon, tunel (for ssh).

If you want more info, just ask.
thanks.

Tim:

Can you help me with this issue. The SourceForge process takes a couple of weeks. It's too long for your project.

thanks.
