Hi all
I have 'svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/TheProject' hanging on a Debian
stable box running subversionn 1.1.4. Googling finds that the problem is
that there is not enough entropy and suggests a recompile of I think
libapr0. Blow that. I'm trying to set this up on a virtual server and I
don't want to add all the things that a recompile would entail. Has
anyone had this problem and how does one get more entropy on a virtual
server that I can just login to remotely?
I had this problem (or thought I did) for an unrelated program (can't
even recall what it was now tbh) but I do remember there was a command
to actually check and see how much entropy your system had.. IIRC it was
just cat /proc something random. hunting around the proc system should
find it. After doing that I found that wasn't actually my problem and it
lay eslewhere.
Googling etc had led me to the randomness problem but in this case it
turned out not to be the problem.
