Reinstalling Subversion

[balanga]

It seems as though I've made a hash of setting up Subversion so would like to start again from scratch but simply running pkg delete subversion will leave behind the debris I've created (presumably). So apart from any repos (/var/svn/* which I've created what else should I look out for? There will be a few files in my home directory, but I'm not sure about /etc or /usr/local/etc.

Anyone know?

There won't be anything in /etc/, ports are not allowed to have their configuration files there. And simply looking in /usr/local/etc/ should quickly tell you if there are any configuration files there. The directory usually isn't that big.

I noticed an /etc/svn-users. Presumably this is an authentication file for subversion. I can't remember how it got created but there is a user tom in there. It may have been created using htpasswd...

Note that there is a lite version of Subversion installed in the base system as /usr/bin/svnlite (but only on FreeBSD 10 and newer). If you somehow mixed that with the port version you might have created some of the files under /etc.
