SourceViewVC Configuration

Description

The SourceViewVC extension plugin adds support for SVN repositories with a ViewVC front-end.

Requirements

The SourceViewVC plugin requires Mantis 1.2.16. See the README for further information.

Ensure that all of the following plugins are installed:

  • Source
  • SourceSVN
  • SourceViewVC

See the README for overall instructions.

Configuration of SVN

See SourceSVN configuration.

Configuration of a Repository

  1. Click the Repositories link in the navigation bar.

  2. In the Create Repository section:

    • Enter the repository name in the Name text field.
    • Select ViewVC from the Type pop-up menu.
    • Click the Create Repository button.

  3. This will take you to the Update Repository page where you'll need to fill in all the details for the repository:

    • The Name field should be pre-populated with the name you entered in Step 2a above.
    • Paste in the SVN repository's URL in the URL field (e.g. https://localhost.localdomain/repos/myrepo or file:///var/repos/myrepo).
    • Paste in the ViewVC installation's root URL in the ViewVC URL field (e.g. http://viewvc-server/viewvc/).
    • Enter the name of the SVN repository, as it appears in the list seen in ViewVC, in the ViewVC Name field (e.g. myrepo).
    • If the ViewVC installation has the root_as_url_component option enabled (see the viewvc.conf file) then enable the ViewVC Root As URL Component Enabled? field.
    • If the ViewVC installation has the checkout view enabled (the allowed_views field list includes co in the viewvc.conf file) then check the ViewVC Checkout View Enabled? field.
    • Enter the username of a user which has read access to the SVN repository in the SVN Username field (e.g. "repo-user").
    • Enter the password for the user in the SVN Password field (e.g. "Sup4rSecre7!").
    • If your repository is configured with the standard trunk, branches & tags folders at the top-level, select the Standard Repository field, otherwise enter the appropriate paths into the Trunk Path, Branch Path and Tag Path fields.
    • Click the Update Repository button.

  4. Click the Import Everything button to test connectivity and perform an initial import of the repository changesets.

    Note: This may take a long time or even fail for large repositories.
