Description of problem: Subversion does not contain an init script. Found other users online with the same problem: http://www.zhlug.nl/content/etcinit-dsvnserve-missing-on-rhel6/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.11-2.el6_1.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install subversion package 2. /etc/init.d/svnserve does not exist Actual results: # yum -y install subversion <snip> # rpm -qa subversion subversion-1.6.11-2.el6_1.4.x86_64 # rpm -qf /etc/init.d/svnserve error: file /etc/init.d/svnserve: No such file or directory # touch /etc/init.d/svnserve # rpm -qf /etc/init.d/svnserve file /etc/init.d/svnserve is not owned by any package Expected results: /etc/init.d/svnserve exists (and works) Additional info: Also attempted to install i686 version and it did not contain the init script either. Copied init script from RHEL5 and it works fine, so that is available as a workaround.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
Folks, this is clearly a bad bug in the form of an omission. "You can't start subversion in RHEL6" should never be a true statement.
