SourceViewVC Configuration

Description

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

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

Ensure that all of the following plugins are installed:

Click the Repositories link in the navigation bar.
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.
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 enable 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.

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.
