Have you given the directories/files the correct permission?
chmod -R 03777 /home/bruno/.svn_repository_documents
and of course
chown svnadmin:users for the directories...
> server_args = -i -r /home/bruno/.svn_repository_documents
Why do you put your repos into a user home directory?
Kind regards.

Indeed after 'chmod /home/bruno' svnserve (via xinetd) works fine.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Now it's clear what's going on.
> drwx------ 73 bruno 1003 4096 Feb 12 13:13 ..
You have to give
others the permission to change into your home directory.
You should chmod 0755 your /home/bruno directory, cause you don't allow
any other user to change into your home directory.
You have created a user svnadmin and run the xinetd with that user, but
you don't allow any user to go into your home directory.
First you should change your home directory (for testing) to the above
(chmod 0755 /home/bruno) and try it again.
After that you should change the user of the entry for xinetd into e.g.
"bruno" instead of svnadmin and test this...
Kind Regards

No. svnserve in daemon mode was started with user root.

Yes, via kill -SIGUSR2 `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`

Indeed. I don't know svk.elixus.org but in fact currently I use Subversion
because also looking for versioning..etc..for these documents.

Ok. Would please give a liste "ls -al" of the directory "my_repo" cause
it seemed to me you don't give the correct permissions to your directories.
>>chmod -R 03777 /home/bruno/.svn_repository_documents
>>and of course

I can't believe that, cause you give all permissions to all users
and world...
Have you restarted xinetd ?
BTW: If you having this local repos just to synchronize with your server
just take a look at svk.elixus.org which might be a solution for you...
Kind regards.

svn info svn://192.168.1.2/
As I said before, this command works fine when svnserve is started in daemon,
but not via xinetd.
note: 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of my server.

Try this but have still same problems.

Because this repo is strictly dedicated to personal documents files and
directories. Subversion is use here to synchronize files between the two PC I
work with.
