svnserve running as on-demand daemon process on Mac OS X

[Jim Anderson <ja...@gmail.com>]

I'm looking for an example launchd plist for running svnserve. I have
created a subversion user account to house the repository and would like to
issues svnserve requests from other user accounts.
Thanks,
Jim

I already replied with a sample launchd script, but again, you don't  
really need a separate user. (This may depend on your level of control  
on the machine.) I  just installed all my repositories in a /svn  
directory at the root of the boot volume. Some people prefer / 
subversion or some other variant.

If you'd like to have the directory be invisible, and you have the  
Xcode tools installed, you can use this command:

	/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /svn

This will set the invisible bit, such as is the case for many of the  
invisible directories in the root volume, such as /usr, /tmp, etc.  
(Note that the file will not actually turn invisible until the Finder  
is relaunched.)

TinkerTool should also work for making files/directories invisible.

HTH,
