1. Use svn 1.44′s svnadmin to create repository
2. Use Macport to install python 2.6 and its subversion bindings
3. cp /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Trac-0.11.4-py2.6.egg/trac/admin/templates/deploy_trac.fcgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/deploy_trac.fcgi
4. edit /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/deploy_trac.fcgi and add in #!/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python on first line
5. Follow ‘Configure Apache to run TRAC using FastCGI’ section in Installing a Secure Subversion Server on Leopard
6. Add a plist:
   <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
   <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
   <plist version=”1.0″>
   <dict>
   <key>UserName</key>
   <string>root</string>
   <key>KeepAlive</key>
   <dict>
   <key>SuccessfulExit</key>
   <true/>
   </dict>
   <key>Label</key>
   <string>svnserve.plist</string>
   <key>ProgramArguments</key>
   <array>
   <string>/usr/bin/svnserve</string>
   <string>-d</string>
   <string>-r</string>
   <string>/var/svn</string>
   </array>
   </dict>
   </plist>

Very PITA at some steps.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
