good apache-based code repository software?

That depends on the type of versioncontrol you are using. SVN or CVS?

Subversion is a very reasonable choice. It's free, crossplatform, stable, relatively easy to administer, and has an active community. There are a number of user friendly GUI based clients as well.

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'apache baseed' but subversion supports using apache to serve the data.

I will with out doubt recommend SVN (subversion), mostly because it supports binary files (pictures, etc..) and also because I use it not only for programing, but also to keep track of my configuration files and similar important files on my computer.

If you are looking for a easy and good tutorial/Internetbook of SVN, this is what you are looking for:

Where chapter 6 in this book will teach you how to mange and set up the server with apache supports:

SVN and CVS isn't something you can just install on your webserver like a forum or a content manager.
You must first check if your host have it installed on their system.
If you have shell access to your host you can type:

Code: Select all

svn --version
cvs --version

Or

Code: Select all

man cvs
man svn

If not send them an email and ask what they support.

As a side note you do not need apache to use SVN or CVS as most use ssl connections to download from their repositorys.
