Some background.
I'm mainly a Windows developer/user with some Linux knowledge/experience,
but not too much Linux admin experience.
I have a Linux box set next to me and I've installed Subversion on it. I
currently have it set up using WebDAV under Apache and after a little head
scratching it works. The way it is setup is to have SVNParentPath set to
point at a directory and to have multiple repositories under that directory.
I have a couple of questions (oh, and I have read the book :) )
i) I've set the owner/group of the repositories to 'apache'. Is this a good
way to do things or should I create a 'subversion' user and add that user to
the 'apache' group, or should I do something else completely (I know there
is no 'one true way' I just want to make sure I don't screw myself
completely in the future if/when I decide to change things)
ii) What are the implications of sticking with 'apache' as owner/group
iii) What are the implications of using a different user/group
iv) My real question. I have multiple repositories under SVNParentPath, can
I specify different subversion access permissions for those repositories or
should I go back to httpd.conf and add multiple <Location ...> entries with
different access permissions for each repo.
BTW. I have Googled around for answers to these questions but found nothing
definitive. In some cases I see advice to wrap Apache in a script and do a
umask 002 before executing it, in others (actually here on the list) I've
seen answers saying - 'if you use Apache and it's default user you'll be
fine' So I'm confused :)
Thanks,
