I tried to start the svnserve-ssh service without modifying or configuring anything. It just gave me the [ !! ] and that it could not start. No log file messages, nothing else. The only hint that I could find, is that start-stop-daemon returns code 1 when running inside of the svnserve-ssh init script, but returns 0 and starts subversion fine when run from the outside (the normal shell). I have no idea how to dig deeper (inside start-stop-daemon for example), so I'm reporting this. :) I have a fresh installation of subversion-1.4.6 with the use flag like this (as reported from "eix"): bash-completion doc java nls nowebdav perl python svnserve vim-syntax -apache2 -berkdb -debug -elibc_FreeBSD -emacs -extras -rub Disabling svnserve, vim-syntax and nowebdav and enabling apache2 does not change the described problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install subversion-1.4.6 with the above use-flags (no idea if they are relevant) 2. Run /etc/init.d/svnserve-ssh. 3. Find out if subversion is running. Actual Results: The service can't start and subversion does not run (as by "ps"). Expected Results: The service should start normally. The normal script /etc/init.d/svnserve starts fine. Even when you run the very same command from inside /etc/init.d/svnserve-ssh manually (the start-stop-daemon command), subversion starts fine. Only in the init script does it exit with the code 1.

Subversion ebuilds don't install 'svnserve-ssh'. What is in this file?
Created attachment 160214 [details] /etc/init.d/svnserve-ssh
Could this come from a very old version? If yes, how is the ssh-version of svn started today? Does it even have to be started, or does it run when you try to access something via svn+ssh://...?
(In reply to comment #3) You have to start only sshd (`/etc/init.d/sshd start`) on the server.
(In reply to comment #4) > You have to start only sshd (`/etc/init.d/sshd start`) on the server. Can i delete the file "svnserve-ssh"?
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > You have to start only sshd (`/etc/init.d/sshd start`) on the server. > > Can i delete the file "svnserve-ssh"? Yes. Also please close this bug.
Well, it would be nice, if - for future readers - the source of the file in question would be included here. You know, it's a bit strange if files come out of nowhere and it certainly is a bug, if an update script forgets to delete (or do what has to be done to) that file. Change this bug from WONTFIX to FIXED, if the Subversion installation scripts know how to handle /etc/init.d/svnserve-ssh. This bug rests for all other cases. :-(
