a suggestion about svnserve.exe (v1.4)

[郑新星 <zh...@gmail.com>]

When I installed svnserve.exe (v1.3), I use SVNService.exe to install
it as Windows Services. But in version 1.4 I found that svnservice.exe
changed.

Filezilla server (filezilla.sf.net) use a very simple way to install
itself as a Windows Service. All the user must do is just double click
the "filezilla server.exe" and the Services will be installed
automatically.

I think that it is the better way to install svnserve.exe as a svn
server than the way
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.4.0/notes/windows-service.txt
showed.

Are there any plans to do this ?

Thanks for the idea. Implementing this would mean a backward
incompatible change and different default behaviour for different
platforms though. Maybe extending the installer to optionally create a
service would be even better because it doesn't require changes to the
svnserve tool.

bye,


Erik.
