Description Yann Ciret 2013-12-20 10:43:21 CET 
Description of problem:
After installing Mageia 3 with all updates, and restore my subversion repository in /var/lib/svn/repositories/ (from a Mageia 2 server), when I attempt to browse a repository from another computer, I have the message "Repository not found".

After investigation, the problem is in /usr/lib/systemd/system/svnserve.service file.
It contain this line to start the subversion server :
ExecStart=/usr/bin/svnserve --daemon --pid-file=/run/svnserve/svnserve.pid $OPTIONS

I need to change this line by to fix remote access (I add the --root option) :
ExecStart=/usr/bin/svnserve --daemon --pid-file=/run/svnserve/svnserve.pid --root=/var/lib/svn/repositories/ $OPTIONS

Comment 1 David Walser 2013-12-20 20:26:24 CET 
Our service file is missing an EnvironmentFile, like Fedora's has:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/subversion.git/tree/svnserve.service?h=f19

The /etc/sysconfig/svnserve file is here (but we'd change it to say /var/lib/svn):
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/subversion.git/tree/svnserve.sysconf?h=f19
Comment 2 David Walser 2013-12-20 20:37:22 CET 
Added in SVN (no pun intended :o).

This will be fixed in Cauldron soon, and in Mageia 3 the next time we update it.
Comment 3 David Walser 2013-12-22 06:55:22 CET 
Fixed in Cauldron in subversion-1.8.5-2.mga4.
Comment 4 Yann Ciret 2013-12-23 23:13:15 CET 
The fix put « -r=/var/lib/svn/ ».
Shouldnât it be « -r=/var/lib/svn/repositories/ » ?

Perhaps.  I'll change it.
