I’ve had a chance to install Subversion on Windows machines in the past, but this is my first try on SuSE Linux. The process is pretty straight forward, and it’s fairly easy to follow. Here is the run down summary of how to get started.

1. Use Zypper to install the following modules:

# zypper install subversion subversion-tools apache2

2. Once you have required software modules, installed browse the following README file to setup your subversion repositories.

less /usr/share/doc/packages/subversion/README.SuSE

That’s all! Shouldn’t take anymore than an hour to complete the job.
