+        SVN_BIN = "/usr/bin/svn"

Installation mit Postgresql und Apache2 mod_passenger

Prerequisites:

• postgresql server (8.4) installation
• apache2 with virtual hosts

Debian will configure database and permissions automatically! Be prepared to have an database password for postgres handy.

Redmine 1.1.x

apt-get install redmine redmine-pgsql ruby-git libapache2-mod-passenger librmagick-ruby

Update to the most recent version

aptitude -t squeeze-backports install redmine

Redmine 1.3.x

Or via testing:

root@server:~#  vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/testing.list

deb http://yourmirror/debian/mirror/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

and

root@server:~# vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/pinning 

Package: *
Pin: release n=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 80

then

root@server:~# apt-get update &&  aptitude -t testing install redmine redmine-pgsql ruby-git libapache2-mod-passenger librmagick-ruby
