====== How to use KWallet for secure password storage for Subversion on FreeBSD? ======

This tutorial is out-dated as ''%%subversion-kwallet%%'' is no longer available in ports.

===== Setup =====

  * Install ''%%kwalletmanager%%'', ''%%kwallet%%'' and ''%%subversion-kwallet%%''.
  * Run ''%%kwalletmanager5%%''.
  * Add ''%%kwallet%%'' to the ''%%password-stores%%'' variable in the ''%%~/.subversion/config%%'' file.
  * Do some work with Subversion. You'll be guided through the process of creating a new wallet and storing a password there.

===== Usage =====

It looks like you've got to start kwalletmanager5 manually before you use SVN. Otherwise, SVN tries to create a new wallet every time.
