Running a Linux server under subversion

Blog Topics:

I like putting my servers under subversion control, i.e. treating the entire file system as a "local working copy." That way I can safely try things and be sure that I can go back to a previous configuration. Also, whenever I do some configuration changes (either manually or through a control panel), I can review all the changes, and when I'm satisfied I add a dated entry to a history file and commit / (root).

Workflow

Here's a typical workflow:

  1. Make some changes.
  2. Verify the intended behavior.
