Ivan Ivanov on The Version Control System Subversion

Suspenders Restaurant
(directions are here: http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php)
6:30 pm

The presentation will discuss Subversion from both client and server
points of view. It will show how to create repositories and how to make
them accessible over the network using different access schemes like
http://, file:// or svn://. Pointers are given on securing the
repositories and on authenticating and authorizing the clients. Next,
the presentation shows how an user interacts with the repository and
describes some of the important Subversion client commands. Finally, it
deals with administrating the repository using "hook scripts".

Ivan Ivanov is generally interested in Version Control Systems since his
student years in Sofia University, Bulgaria, where he set up and
maintained a CVS server for an academic project. When Subversion became
a fact and proved to be "a better CVS" he researched it and last year
deployed it for his NYC-based employer Ariel Partners
(http://www.arielpartners.com/). He intergrated the Subversion
repositories with Apache Web Server over https to enable a reliable and
secure way to access them from any point.
