Hello dsimcha,


 Really stupid question from a total SVN noob:  I uploaded some docs to
 SVN for a dsource project, and linked to them via the project wiki.
 When I follow the link to the docs, I get an HTML forbidden error.
 How do I change the permissions in that SVN directory to make the docs
 viewable as plain old HTML?
 



Are the docs in HTML or plain text?

If they are text, I guess the direct link should work.

If they are html, you may need special permissions to display the html from 
a link.  I would email brad at dsource.org (convert that to email address 
form) since it may not be merely an svn management problem.

Another option, in the meantime, is to add the doc to the project wiki itself 
(but you must have permissions for that too, I suppose).

I've never got a "forbidden" error, but I have had to change the svn
mime type on them for them to show up as webpages instead of as raw
source.  That's something you do on your end with your svn client,
then check them in.

Can you please elaborate on this?  What do I need to change the MIME type to?
Please understand that most of my programming experience comes from working on
research prototype code, where a lot of formalities like version control are
often
ignored, so my knowledge of tools like SVN is *way* behind my general
programming
knowledge.  Assume I know almost nothing about SVN.

This page describes the MIME-type change:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tutorials/wiki/SvnTips

But I think all you have to do is use URL's like this:
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dstats/docs/alloc.html
(note: "svn" instead of "www").

Pardon me for saying so, but version control should never be ignored, not 
even on a one-man pet project.
