svn permission control

Hi all,

I’m new to Redmine and have been playing with it for a few days now, but the only thing I can’t figure out is how to integrate the user permissions with SVN.

I’m running the bitnami redmine on OS X Server with SVN repos on the same server.

Does anyone have any idea what the best approach is to manage this? I’ve looked at the redmine.pm method, but can’t get that to work so…

Thanks

I’m rather new too. I wish there was some human understandable way to get redmine to manage SVN.

I will share what I have done. btw, I’m on windows

inside the bitnami subversion directory, there is a scripts folder. There I found a serviceinstall.bat script which installs the svn service. I edited the script to add a ‘-r /path/to/repos’ option. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the stack services. So now my svnserve runs with root as ‘path/to/repos/’. I created a user called ‘redmine’ with read permissions to all the repositories under ‘path/to/repos’. My authz and passwd files are in the ‘path/to/repos’ folder. Inside each repository, I edit the ‘svnserve.conf’ to point to ‘../../authz’ and ‘../../passwd’ . So all repositories share the same authz and passwd file.

Then in each redmine project, in the repository configurations, I give “svn://localhost/reponame” as url with login as “redmine”. For commit access, I create separate usernames and passwords :( how ugly!!

unless somebody can suggest a better way, you can try this out :)
