View source for Setup Subversion on Ubuntu in 10 minutes

Today I decided to take on the geekiest of tasks - setting up my own Subversion repository to check in files from my home directory.  Normally, I use a third party Subversion service, as others can generally manage an svn instance better than oneself, however for this data, I want it to reside on my own server.  On my server I executed the following commands:

<geshi>
sudo aptitude install libapache2-svn
sudo mkdir /usr/local/svn
sudo svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/home
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/svn
sudo htdigest /etc/apache2/user.passwd  "Subversion repository" brianegge
sudoedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/theeggeadventure.com
sudo apache2ctl configtest
sudo apache2ctl restart
</geshi>

The edit to my site file, was this addition:

<geshi>
  <Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /usr/local/svn

    AuthType Digest
    AuthName "Subversion repository"
    AuthUserFile "/etc/apache2/user.passwd"

    Require valid-user
  </Location>
</geshi>
