Hello,
the svnbook contains instructions how to run subversion under inetd
but instructions for using xinetd are missing. Please add the
following information which I tested on my computer:
========================
svnserve via xinetd
xinetd is a replacement of the inet daemon which is used mainly in
Redhat based distributions. In order to configure svnserve for xinetd,
create file /etc/xinetd.d/svn vith the following contents:
# default: on
# description: Subversion server for the svn protocol
service svn
{
disabled = no
port = 3690
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = subversion
server = /usr/local/bin/svnserve
server_args = -i -r /path/to/subversion/repositories
}
Be sure that your /etc/services contains the definition of the prot
for svn as described in the section "svnserve via inetd". Without
proper setting the daemon will not start.
In Redhat based distributions you can issue the command:
chkconfig --add svn
You will then be able to switch the server on and off from the
graphical configuration tools.
