Hi Nikola:
The only difference I can see between your svn file and mine is that yours
runs as user root and mine runs as an ordinary "admin user" that I set up.
My ordinary user owns all the Subversion repository files.
The path in the server_args is the "parent" directory for your repository.
If I have a repository called "project", then the repository files
themselves (using your example) would be found in /var/subversion/project.
I think things won't work right if your actual Subversion files are in
/var/subversion.
If there's a firewall running, either on your server or on your client
machines, make sure that port 3690 is open. If a firewall on your client
machine is blocking the port, then there won't be any request for xinetd to
handle.
Finally, make sure that the xinetd service itself is actually running. I
don't know specifically how you do that on a Debian system. It might not be
turned on by default. The ps (process status) command should show xinetd if
it is running.
When I ran into problems like this, I solved them by starting svnserve by
hand. I made sure that my Subversion setup was OK first. Once I could get
things running with svnserve by itself, I could concentrate on getting the
xinetd part working.
Hope this helps. Erik
