Setup notes for map-dev-svn1.mit.edu prototype server:

  • The server is an ops VM image running RHEL 5 with AFS installed.
  • Grabbed Subversion 1.4.6 from subversion.tigris.org
  • Doing our own build of Subversion so that we can control build configuration and so that Subversion version is independent of host OS
  • No source modifications at the moment
  • No need to grab the deps tarball; RHEL 5 has adequate versions of all libraries, and the library versions do not affect the quality of service appreciably
  • /home/svn/src contains the source tarball and build directory
  • Need to install some development packages: yum install apr-devel apr-util-devel neon-devel zlib-devel
  • ./configure --without-berkeley-db --prefix=/home/svn && make && make install

  • Get DCM set up from moira (by ops) and received on map-dev-svn1.  Mark Manley is working on the update_server port for receiving the DCM.
  • Get a repository created on svn.mit.edu for supporting materials
  • Identify supporting materials (exec-svnserve, DCM scripts, cron jobs, etc.) and put into repository with documentation

Pieces of the user management system on the existing svn.mit.edu:

  • A DCM manages /etc/group.local to contain all of the groups in the moira list cvs-groups.
  • A DCM manages /etc/passwd.moira to contain all of the users in the moira list cvs-users.
  • /etc/athena/postacldcm combines /etc/passwd.local.head and /etc/passwd.moira with some modifications into /etc/passwd.local which is then copied into /etc/passwd.
  • /etc/athena/postacldcm modifies /etc/group.local in place and then copies it into /etc/group.
  • Some snap accounts have entries in /etc/passwd.local.head and do not exist in Moira.  Those accounts are added to specific groups in /etc/group.local by postacldcm before updating /etc/group.
  • Other snap accounts exist in Moira.  Those accounts do not need to be added to group.local by postacldcm, but do need their passwd entries modified by postacldcm.
  • Since the existing server is an Athena machine, SSH access is managed by /etc/athena/access, which contains "*inpasswd rl" to allow all users in the passwd file to log in via SSH.
