That's simply a matter of Unix permissions management. It's not
specific to Subversion and it's not a bug.
Well, I think it is at least nice to users and would reduce the
amount of work if the package is prepared for practical usage.
When reading
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html
it is suggested to start svnserve via initd as user svnowner so
at least it makes sense to create a user in the package postinst
and prepare a line
# svn stream tcp nowait svnowner /usr/bin/svnserve svnserve -i
in /etc/inetd.conf. Moreover adding a hint to README.Debian
to just enable the commented line in /etc/inetd.conf would have
saved me hours because I just expected a working subversion
server after installing the package as other Debian packages
that provide server functionality.
Creating a custom group (and user) for subversion is already in the
plans, for running svnserve.
Great. This would concern #232584. Any chance that this would
be fixed soon?
But I don't think it's wise to go
changing file permissions on user data.
Agreed here.
Kind regards
Andreas.
