In SISSA there is a subversion server, svn-srv.sissa.it which can be used by all SISSA users.

To get your repository you can write to helpdesk@sissa.it specifying:

• 1) the repository name;
• 2) who can access in rw/r or has no access at all in its trunk/branches.

The server is NOT accessible to users.

If you need to modify your config. files you have to write to helpdesk@sissa.it.
Actually the server is running a svnserve daemon. In the next future we are planning to give svn access using LDAP under a web server.

People who want to learn about subversion can read some sections of the Subversion Manual present in the manuals section of SIS web pages:

• 1. Fundamental Concepts;
• 2. Basic Usage, and/or;
• 9. Subversion Complete Reference.

Every night there is a dump of every repository and a backup on tapes (incremental every night, and a full backup every 2 weeks) of both repositories (config files) and dumps. The dumps can be reloaded on a new, empty repository.
