Bug 332401 – dev-vcs/subversion-1.6.12: does not work(launchd/inetd mode)

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Reilune 2010-08-12 08:50:55 UTC]

Trying to start subversion with launchd, I got the following error:
svn: Malformed network data

a special modification needed to make it work with launchd?? not sure

the "svnserve" from apple with the exactly same configuration(just remove $EPREFIX from ".plist" file), it works fine.
the one from portage with daemon mode also works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start svnserve by "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.tigris.subversion.plist
2. svn co svn://$user@127.0.0.1/test
3.

Actual Results:  
svn: Malformed network data


Expected Results:  
A    test/trunk
A    test/branches
A    test/tags
Checked out revision 1.
