Setting up Subversion (SVN) on Bluehost

Jason Gill — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 23:34:03 +0000

I found some instructions from J. Taylor on how to install SVN on Bluehost, but they were a bit out-dated. For one, Subversion is now an Apache project and isn’t found on subversion.tigris.org anymore. You can find the project on http://subversion.apache.org/. Other than that, the instructions are great!

mkdir src
cd src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.15.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.15.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-1.6.15.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-deps-1.6.15.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.15
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install

Note: I did get one error during the make install process, but it didn’t seem to matter. SVN works great for me.

How to remove .svn files

If you are looking for a command line way to remove all .svn folders in a directory tree, the correct answer here is: Don’t.

As it turns out, all you need to do is run an SVN Export command and that will create a clean directory tree for you, hastle free. Here’s an example

$ svn export svnProject myExportWithoutSnvFiles

Then you can just ignore or remove the svn directory tree and keep the new one.

SVN batch commands for adding or deleting multiple files (Linux)

Jason Gill — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:44:05 +0000

Here are a few little hints that may help speed up your SVN workflow if you are using SVN in a Linux environment. I found the first one on Snipplr and used that to create the second one for myself.

Deleting multiple missing files (ie. the ones with a “!” next to them):
```
svn delete $( svn status | sed -e '/^!/!d' -e 's/^!//' )
```
Adding multiple new files (ie. the ones with a “?” next to them):
```
svn add $( svn status | sed -e '/^?/!d' -e 's/^?//' )
```
