How to build an autobuild system and regression test system for subversion?

Question

I have been asked to do the following:

a) Build a VM for a subversion server
b) Figure out an autobuild system and regression test system
c) Write documentation or simple instructions to get people started with subversion

I am not really sure what these instructions mean - although I have a vague idea. If you know could you provide some dot points and appropriate terms that I should google.

Answer 1

The following links might help:

• VM means Virtual Machine. See VirtualBox for example.
• Subversion is a popular version control system.
• An automated build system is something like Cruise Control.
• Excellent documentation for Subversion can be found in the Version Control with Subversion online book.

Figuring out how to integrate tools like the above into your workplace environment will be up to you.
