SourceSVN Configuration

Description

The SourceSVN extension plugin adds support for SVN repositories without any specific front end. See plugins such as SourceViewVC and SourceWebSVN if you are using these front ends.

Requirements

The SourceSVN plugin requires Mantis 1.2.x. See the README for further information.

Ensure that all of the following plugins are installed:

  • Source
  • SourceSVN

See the README for overall instructions with regard to installing SourceIntegration plugins.

Configuration of the Plugin

  1. Click the Manage link in the navigation bar.

  2. Click the Manage Plugins link in the management navigation bar.

  3. Click the Source Control Integration link.

  4. Scroll down the page until you see the section Source Subversion Integration.
    There are currently 4 options to configure.

Option Notes
SVN: Path to binary This should be the directory which contains the svn (or svn.exe on Windows) executable
SVN: Command arguments List any command arguments which always need to be supplied when calling the SVN binary. If you are hosting on IIS, it's likely that the worker process will have no home directory, which will cause SVN to throw an error. You can avoid this by creating an empty directory & entering --config-dir c:\path\to\empty\dir within this option field
SVN: Trust All SSL Certs Enable this if your SVN repository is hosted on a service that uses a self-signed certificate
SVN: Use Windows 'start'
  1. Click Update Configuration when you're done.

Configuration of a Repository

  1. Click the Repositories link in the navigation bar.

  2. In the Create Repository section:

    • Enter the repository name in the Name text field.
    • Select SVN from the Type pop-up menu.
    • Click the Create Repository button.

  3. This will take you to the Update Repository page where you'll need to fill in all the details for the repository:

    • The Name field should be pre-populated with the name you entered in Step 2a above.
    • Paste in the SVN repository's URL in the URL field (e.g. https://localhost.localdomain/repos/myrepo or file:///var/repos/myrepo).
    • If access controls are configured on your SVN repository such that anonymous read access is not permitted, within the SVN Username and SVN Password, enter appropriate credentials that have read access to the repo.
    • If you use a "standard" repository layout, where the top-level of the repository contains /trunk, /branches and /tags, then enable the *Standard Repository option
    • If you use a non-standard repository layout, enter the path to the trunk, branches and tags directories into the following 3 option fields, e.g.
      /my_new_product/trunk, /my_new_product/branches, /my_new_product/tags.
      See the SVN book for more details of repository layouts
    • If you use a non-standard repository layout and you want to ignore commits to the repository that are not changing files within the Trunk Path, Branch Path or Tag Path directories (which is the most likely case), then enable the Ignore Other Paths option.
    • Click the Update Repository button.

  4. Click the Import Everything button to test connectivity and perform an initial import of the repository changesets.

    Note: This may take a long time or even fail for large repositories.
