Here<\/a> is the result.<\/p>\nThis was tested on fc6 running kernel 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6. Subversion 1.4.2 (subversion-1.4.2-2.fc6). It should work in any distro with init.<\/p>\n
To make service configuration aware of svn serve you will have to first copy the script to \/etc\/init.d and then run the following.<\/p>\n
$ \/sbin\/chkconfig ---add svnserve<\/code><\/p>\nAlso remember to create the configuration(\/etc\/sysconfig\/subversion) file with the following lines in it to enable threading.<\/p>\n
OPTIONS=\"--threads\"<\/code><\/p>\nYou can put any options you could send to svnserve in the configuration file.<\/p>\n
PS: here is the Init script it self for your viewing before downloading<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/bash
#
# \/etc\/rc.d\/init.d\/subversion
#
# Starts the Subversion Daemon
