Toolserver:Subversion


 * Note: If your account was created before 2008-07-17, read this.

The toolserver provides Subversion hosting for users. If your username is jsmith, your svn repository is located at  https:// svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/jsmith. Before you can use it, you need to run setpass on nightshade, to set your LDAP password. You will be asked for this password the first time you commit something, after which the client will remember it and not prompt you again.

By default, only you have access to commit to your repository, but everyone has read-only access. If you want to change this (to make some parts of the repository private, or to allow additional users to commit), file a request in JIRA.

A web-based repository viewer is available here. File a request in JIRA if you would like your repository added.
