They discuss how to use Subversion over ssh, that is svn+ssh:// scheme. I myself prefer subversion over http(s) and I have written a tutorial here [3] and more concretely here. > > The second one is certainly overkill for what I need (I just want to use > it to manage my personal projects, since I work remotely a lot).

You have two options then. -) use subversion over http(s) and you can access your repository both with a svn client and from a browser. -) use whatever access scheme you want and install viewvc [5]. > My issue is > the following.

As far as I remember you do not need berkleydb option. Subversion supports two backends for its repositories - BDB and FSFS. FSFS is a file format developed by Subversion and when you create the repository it is used by default. For a comparison between the two formats see [6]. So you may compile Subversion with Berkley DB - you should provide WITHOUT_BDB option or similar when you install the Subversion port. > Also, any advice relating to setting up Subversion on FreeBSD in general. Well, the Subversion Book contains everything you need to set it up and use it. And the link below should help you as well.
