RE: Running svnserve automatically

Peter:

I'm not sure whether anyone replied already; my email has been a bit
dodgy.

You only need svnserve to run when an incoming connection is received at
the subversion port (3690).

In the Subversion manual, chapter 6, section "Invoking the Server" there
is some info about adding a line to /etc/services. On my version of
Linux (Fedore Core 1), this info is used by xinetd to start the server
when a connection comes in.

To make this work, I had to add a file called /etc/xinetd.d/svnserve,
containing:

#line added for port 3690/tcp in /etc/services
service svnserve
{
        socket_type = stream
        user = svn
        wait = no
        server = /usr/local/bin/svnserve
        server_args = --inetd --root /path/to/my/repos
}

Can I suggest that some of this be added to the manual?

Jason

Hi,
 
I don't want to run 'svnserve -d' manually each time my computer has
booted. How can I make svnserve run automatically after Linux has booted
?
 
Thanks,
Peter.
