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.

  • 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.

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