RE: Errors in running python tests in make check

["Hoffman, Aodhan" <Ao...@boeing.com>]

 
Whelp, I decided to ignore the python tests and succeded to getting svn breathing, but not working.
Once I got mod_dav_svn up, I tried creating a repository and it died:

svnadmin: Can't open file '/net/nnmx-blv-01-tmp/export/home/tx714c/.subversion/servers': Permission denied

-bash-3.2$ ls -l /net/nnmx-blv-01-tmp/export/home/tx714c/.subversion/servers
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tx714c nnm_adm 3270 Oct 22 11:59 /net/nnmx-blv-01-tmp/export/home/tx714c/.subversion/servers

What's going on? Why is svnadmin still looking at my home directory for anything? How to I tell it to put this .subversion directory somewhere else?

Okay then. It's a bug; that svnadmin command should bepassed --config-dir, whose argument should point to the config dir that the tests create.
(See svntest/main.py.)

Feel free to send a patch :-)
