How do I use subversion
I’m following the instructions for tool development at https://hubzero.org/documentation/1.1.0/managers/maintenance.tools. I’m at the point where the tool developer must use subversion to checkout the initial project folder (the empty skeleton of folders created when the administrator clicks the “add repo” button). I should also add that this HUBzero site has not been published yet and I’m working on the bugs. Anyway, on the HUBzero Forge wiki it states that I must enter this command to checkout the project:
% svn checkout https://(myhub)/tools/sometool/svn/trunk sometool
where “some tool” is the name of my project. This command does not work, probably because there is no /tools/sometool/svn/trunk folder. I modified the command to the following:
% svn checkout https://(myhub)/tools/sometool sometool,
but the I get a 403 forbidden error. I went to the subversion website but I cannot find anything to help me. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I found a solution for my problem. First off, the command https://(myhub)/tools/sometool/svn/trunk sometool is fine; the folder doesn’t show up but the command does work. When the administrator clicks “Add Repo” HUBzero will create a configuration file in /apache2/.conf.d/svn.conf. Copy the contents of this file to a file titled /apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf. Now I just have to change the script that writes the file to create it in the new location.
