Creation of an UberSVN repository from the Linux command line

All,    Is it possible to create an Ubersvn repository from the Linux command line? I have written a shell script which will create a repository and modify the 50-repositories.conf file which contains the information about the virtual server. However, Ubersvn will not recognize the repo. Any hints, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.    Thank you in advance!

I am puzzled by this. Is it the case that  svnadmin verify (path to old repo) svnadmin dump (path to old repo) > old.dump svnadmin create (path to new repo) svnadmin load (path to new repo) < old.dump  will create and populate a repository which uberSVN cannot handle?

One way around this is that you could create the repo in whatever external manner you wish and then via uberSVN use one of the options on the Add Repo feature. Options such as Import From Local Dump, Import From Server Dump, Add Existing Repo On Server, etc. That will then bring them under the control of uberSVN (and located within the repositories storage location set in uberSVN Administration).  You can see all these options by following this path... Repositories > Add Repo > Enter Name And URL > Create Or Import Repository. There are three.  Hope this helps.   Wayne

Technically you can create a repo in ubersvn then manually edit the ubersvn/conf/conf.d/50-repositories.conf to point it at a repo somewhere else. However, this file gets overwritten any time a repo is created or deleted in ubersvn, so if you do this you will have to redo your change any time ubersvn overwrites it, and then restart apache.
