Description Oleg Gawriloff 2013-01-29 07:49:27 UTC 
In installed xinet.d service file we see following:
    user            = svn
    group           = svnusers
But this group and user is only is only created when emerge --config subversion is called, which is normally (when using subversion as client) not called/needed.
In turn we have in xinetd log:
an 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Unknown user: svn [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=5]
Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Error parsing attribute user - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=5]
Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Unknown group: svnusers [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=6]
Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Error parsing attribute group - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=6]

So, I propose to install this file only if --config called.


Reproducible: Always
