subversion on suse 9.1 pro, amd64 dist

Hi. First, I don't have a subscrip to this mailing list, I'm just
dumping my two bits here for other folks to google and use if they
have the same problem with the suse 9.1 install of subversion I was
having. Any replies will need to go directly to me.

Onto the show.

Problem #1: /etc/init.d/svnserve start was exiting without comment
from the script.

Cause: /etc/sysconfig/svnserve was missing.

Fix: Copied /var/adm/fillup-templates/sysconfig.svnserve to
/etc/sysconfig/svnserve.

Problem #2: /etc/init.d/svnserve start was exiting with message:
Starting svnserve startproc: No such user or user id: svn

Cause: No user svn.

Fix:
mkdir -p /srv/svn/repos #noticed this dir is used in init script,
decided to call it $HOME
useradd -r -d /srv/svn

Problem #3: /etc/init.d/svnserve start was exiting with message:
Starting svnserve startproc: No such group or group id: svn

Cause: No group svn

Fix:
groupadd svn
usermod -g svn svn
chmod -vR svn:svn /srv/svn

Problem #4: I'll let y'all know when it happens. With a package this
poorly built, I'm SURE there will be more. *sigh*
