Subversion Server

I need a source control repository for some stuff I'm working on so figure I may as well throw subversion on my Mac Mini download box. There seem to be a few places with different builds for OS X, does anyone have any experience of which is "best"? I'd quite like a big girls blouse config program if possible

Ah, I assumed OS X still came with an ancient version. I've just set it up with Apache and all working fine.. cheers

1.5.0 appears to be out, but I don't think my clients support it so I'll keep well clear of that for now.. 1.4.4 (r25188) is new enough

If I setup time machine to backup the repository directory will that be sufficient for a backup, or will I need to cron an svnadmin dump command?

I've actually just broken it

I created my basic structure from the commandline, then tried to shove some source in and I got an error from svn saying it couldn't create some log file or other. Double checked the permissions, thought i fixed it, but now whenever I go to the repository it says:

Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Doh!

It's brilliant, been using one for that purpose for ages now. Unfortunately I have to use the bloatware that is Azureus because a lot of trackers don't know about other Mac clients, but it does the job. Media wise I use OSXBMC and it's the dog's danglies. I've previously used FrontRow+Perian and VLC, but OSXBMC laughs in their faces and steals their dinner money to be perfectly honest.

This particular one is a 1.66 CoreDuo with a gig of RAM.

Fixed my subversion problem too.. got a project in there and it seems to be working ok.. just need to sort out the backup.
