How do I create a local SVN repository for my buildout on the server?

Preceedings

Install svn from the tarball or via apt-get as described in the Ubuntu support area.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to install Subversion as a server to use it locally on the filesystem!
You can use the same way for non buildout contents.
More infos on:
http://subversion.tigris.org

Creating the repository

Create a folder i.e. "svndev" in your users home directory holding the repository or more repositories.
```
cd ~
mkdir svndev
cd svndev
```
Create a repository "boarepos" inside
```
svnadmin create ./boarepos
```

Take a look inside the repository (but never touch manually!)

ls -la boarepos

and get i.e.

total 36
drwxr-xr-x 7 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 dav
drwxr-sr-x 5 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 db
-r--r--r-- 1 boa users    2 2007-12-09 18:55 format
drwxr-xr-x 2 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 hooks
drwxr-xr-x 2 boa users 4096 2007-12-09 18:55 locks
-rw-r--r-- 1 boa users  229 2007-12-09 18:55 README.txt

Copy your current code to temporary location, where "~/instances/boaweb" is the current source and maybe add or delete as needed.

mkdir -p ~/tmp/boaweb
cd ~/tmp/boaweb/
cp ~/instances/boaweb/bootstrap.py ./
cp ~/instances/boaweb/buildout.cfg ./
cp -R ~/instances/boaweb/products ./
cp -R ~/instances/boaweb/src ./

Import your code from the temporary location into your local repository.

svn import /home/boa/tmp/boaweb file:///home/boa/svndev/boarepos/boaweb -m "initial import"

Check out from the new repository to test if all is there.

mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
svn co file:///home/boa/svndev/boarepos/boaweb

Check out from the distance via ssh
- You need a working ssh account with access to the repository to do this!
- To use http or WebDAV you need to setup the SVN-server!
```
svn co svn+ssh://boa@88.198.8.232/home/boa/svndev/boarepos/boaweb boaweb
```

Optionally use your checkout of the buildout

Initialize "bootstrap" your buildout
```
path/to/your/python bootstrap.py
```
Run your buildout
```
bin/buildout -v
```
Run Zope in the foreground to debug your installation
```
bin/instance fg
```
when everything is OK shutdown with ctrl-c and then run permanent:
```
bin/instance start
```

Modify your code and check in revisions

Always update your local working copy before you start to modify code
```
svn up
```
Check for modifications
```
svn stat
```
Look for files marked with M, C, A, ?
where
- M = modified
- C = conflict (file on server was modified since latest update! Needs merging the changes manually or reverting with "svn revert ..." !)
- A = added file that was not checked in yet! Use "svn checkin" or "svn ci" for this
- ? = unknown – file not under version control! Add these if necessary or modify the "svn ignore" policy file.
  Usually python bytecode files with endings "*.pyc" are not useful to be under version-control i.e.
Add files with
```
svn add [path to your file(s)]
```
Check In changes with comments (best file by file, change by change)
```
svn ci [path to your file(s)] -m "Comment" 
```
