You are going to need to type fast but I think you can do it in 4 minutes. These are my notes on what worked for me on my Fedora core 6 with svn lib already installed by the package manager:
1. Create a Repository
svnadmin create /svnrepos
2. Create a SVN User
vi /svnrepos/conf/svnserve.conf
In that file add these three lines:
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
Create a password file:
vi /svnrepos/conf/passwd
In that file add a line for your user:
# add users in the format : user = password
tony = mypassword
3. Import Your Project
(assuming you’ve put your project files in /projects/myrailsproject)
