Subversion repositories

[mehrhart]

Hello,
The knowledge base says we cannot create svn repositories (shared hosting) but we can access remote repositories with svn over SSH.
Do you think I may open a support ticket in order to obtain my own repository. Or I will only be able to acccess already public existant repositories if any (that is not really what I need)
Thanks you very much.

I just created a repositiry in my account using svnadmin. It seems to have worked fine.

I'm happy to see that SVN was finally added to the servers. I've been running svn on a small virtual server, but it is a pretty unstable platform to rely on for anything serious.

How do you access it? svn+ssh?

Hello,
I tried svnadmin. It works, and I can play with file scheme throw a SSH session with putty. But I cannot connect to my account with the svn client.
I run a Windows workstation and I use plink.exe (putty) to create the tunnel.
I adjust the subversion config file to set the ssh scheme (like ssh = plink.exe -ssh -l <myusername> <myhost-JAG>)
I run svn list svn+ssh://<myhost-JAG>/<my repository path> but nothing comes. No prompt for logging.
Could someone help me ?
Thanks you
Manfred

Finally, I connect successfully with subversion on Jag. THe problem was plink.exe and authentication. In fact, I connected with success through cygwin and OpenSSH with DSA key. plink.exe does not seem to support interactive login (the stdin stream is not redirected ??).
I regenerated a couple of keys with puttygen (for plink). I specified only the username in the tunnel line within subversion config file (ssh = plink.exe -ssh -l <myusername>). I also specfied the username in the svn call (svn list svn+ssh://<username>@<myhost-JAG>/<my repository path>) and all is ok.

(Another thing: puttygen does not write the public key in the format "one line" so I had to manually remove the crlf.)
