SVN Managed /etc

Some of the servers I am co-maintaining are using subversion to manage /etc. Because I always forget the initial steps for subversion managed /etc I am now writing it down:

# mkdir /srv/svn/
# chmod 700 /srv/svn/
# svnadmin create /srv/svn/`hostname`
# svn mkdir file:///srv/svn/`hostname`/etc \
  -m "Make a directory in the repository to correspond to /etc"
# cd /etc
# svn checkout file:///srv/svn/`hostname`/etc .
# svn add resolv.conf
# svn commit -m "initial resolv.conf"
# svn propset svn:ignore .pwd.lock .
# svn commit -m "added .pwd.log to svn:ignore"

This is more or less just a copy what is described in the Subversion FAQ, but documenting it here will make it easier for me to find it again.

Who Did We Came To See?

UD!

Yes, yesterday we were (again) at a Ugly Duckling concert in a club called Schocken in Stuttgart. It was just as good as last time (2006-04-12). They also have a new album called audacity; Alex already wrote something about it. And as with almost any concert: the old songs were the best.

The main reason I am writing it down is so that I remember the date, because I had forgotten when we saw them the last time. But now both is written down and documented.
