Authentication is required to access SVN repositories.


SVN-Users can have access to SVN repositories

If you need a new repository, please, send an e-mail to paoliniATdi.unito.it or to roverATdi.unito.it.

Subject:IDRA
Body message:

  • name-of-the-repository
  • list of SVN-User names

We should not forget to send you a confirmation mail, once your repository exists.

Your new repository will be at:

https://idra.di.unito.it/priv/name-of-the-repository

Just use, properly, SVN commands, or an internet browser, to manage it, in accordance with the SVN guides.

Remark

  • If some of the SVN-Users must have only read rights to the repository, please, specify in the above list.


Main recommendations

  • Please, do not assume SVN be a support for backup. Our space is limited. It's useful for collaborative and concurrent developments of documents.

  • Use SVN for source documents, only. Namely, avoid .pdf, .ps, .dvi and similar formats as much as you can.

  • Documents with Microsoft formats are, generally, more space consuming than equivalent ones written with other formats. So, if you plan to store documents produced by WYSIWYG applications, please, consider compact formats.

    OpenOffice/StarOffice produce high-quality low-space-consuming documents, covertible to Microsoft Office formats.
