svnserve deprecated warning breaks xinetd

[David Kimdon <da...@kimdon.org>]

Hi,

The warnings about deprecated options from svnserve go to stderr which
xinetd passes on to the client.  This breaks clients, more discussion
here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=222365

It isn't clear to me the best way to fix this.  Maybe we can check to
see if stderr is a tty. Or perhaps send the warning in some format
that won't upset the client.  Or perhaps do nothing.

Thoughts?

David

A Unixy solution would be to report the warning to syslog, but that's
not portable.

I wonder if it would be possible to detect when stdout and stderr are
the same?

Or use a wrapper that sends stderr to /var/log?

Doing nothing sounds good :)
