Does anyone know what's going on, and what I need to do to get svn going using svnserve? Perhaps there's another log I should be looking at? Or perhaps I need to create an account? If so, what sort of permissions should it have?
Yes, you need to create the user svn. The detailed information is in /usr/share/doc/packages/subversion/README.SuSE (most packages have a README.SuSE with instructions on how to get things up and running) section 2 in that file reads 2. create svn user/group for svnserve subversion repositories can be served either via http, or via the svnserve daemon and a special network protocol. svnserve should not run as root user. The startup script rcsvnserve expects a user/group named 'svn', configureable via /etc/sysconfig/svnserve. But this user/group must be created before first use: useradd svn groupadd svn You should have a look at README.SuSE, it contains more relevant information -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
