Comment #7 on issue 102 by ptbu... at gmail.com: ch06: svnserve as a windows
service under cygwin
http://code.google.com/p/svnbook/issues/detail?id=102
I can validate the suggestion, but with reservations. It installs the
cygwin provided svnserve binary as a service, but any attempt to
communicate with the server with my own 1.6.17 build, trunk build, or
Tortoise SVN nightly build results in:
svn: Can't connect to host 'localhost': No connection could be made because
the target machine actively refused it.
The same thing happens even if I run it directly from the command line
rather than as a service.
On the cygwin command line things are a bit better. When running svnserve
as a service I can access the repository via ra_serf sometimes, but
frequently get this error:
$ svn log svn://localhost/svn-test-work/repositories/merge_tests-110
svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly
I haven't investigated these any further because of my primary reservation:
The book currently makes no mention whatsoever about cygwin, so do we want
to start now? Can we get away with just a brief mention of the solution to
this problem without a greater discussion of using cygwin? I leave the
answer to the long time authors...perhaps I am worried about nothing.
