Body
copied!<p>I need to copy the existing SVN repository from one development server to another. Per my understandings, I have come up with the steps. It would be great if someone can verify and let me know if I have missed any point.</p> <pre><code>Current server: dev10.dev.location.somename.com Current repo location: dev10$/export/svnrepo/reponame URL: svn:// dev10.dev.location.somename.com/export/svnrepo/newrepo/trunk New server: dev11.dev.location.somename.com New repo location: dev11$/export/svnrepo/newrepo </code></pre> <p>I would like to have a URL like svn://dev11.dev.location.somename.com/export/svnrepo/newrepo/trunk. Do I need to import the new repository?</p> <pre><code>SVN server --- **svnserve** </code></pre> <p>Steps:</p> <ol> <li><p>Install svnserve server in dev11</p></li> <li><p>Check working directory is fully checked-in at dev10 to Subversion, and back it up.</p></li> <li><p>Dump the Subversion repository. This is done with an <code>svnadmin</code> command: at dev10</p> <pre><code>svnadmin dump /export/svnrepo/reponame | gzip -9 - > reponame.dump.gz </code></pre></li> <li><p>Create the new subversion repository ---- at dev11. To create a repository, ‘newrepo’, run the <code>svnadmin create</code> command from $SVNHOME/bin. Provide fullpath to the repository at dev11.</p> <pre><code>svnadmin create /export/svnrepo/newrepo </code></pre></li> <li><p>Copy the reponame.dump.gz file up to the dev11 server.</p></li> <li><p>Load the dumpfile into the new repository: at dev11</p> <pre><code>zcat reponame.dump.gz | svnadmin load /export/svnrepo/newrepo </code></pre></li> <li><p>Checkout the new repository to a directory at dev11</p> <pre><code>svn co svn:// dev11.dev.location.somename.com/export/svnrepo/newrepo/trunk </code></pre></li> <li><p>Switch my working directory to the new repository.</p></li> </ol>
