Hello

Thanks so much for providing the subversion modules - we're using mod_svn-1.8.13-ap24-x64.zip very successfully and it is so easy to install.

Is there any plan to upgrade the Subversion builds, as 1.9.0 is now out ? We'd be happy to test and report back if that would help...

Many Thanks in advance..

Simon

There is a plan to build it. I already made a build how to based on the beta releases. https://gist.github.com/JBlond/d626693182dbfa5994f1
I only did not had the time to do so.

+1 on the packages, thank you so very much!  Add my vote for SVN 1.9 - when you get around to it - we're in the middle of a new server build out (upgrading from 1.6) and would love to be on the latest.

if you do the upgrade you have to do a dump and import the dump. Do not use the old repo. It might works, but I had heavy problems with that after some time.

Was definitely planning on doing so - thanks for the tip

I made a bit progess building 1.9.0, but I have an issue with the new serf version. I was never lucky with the 1.3.x version of it. So I used 1.2.1 for the older builds, but the current readme says that it needs at least 1.3.4

Thanks for the update, Mario.  Wish I could be of more assistance.

I figured out today that I need scons ( a tool for python) to build serf for svn. I think until late Sunday  ( CEST) I can do the build and some tests.

Thanks Mario.  Any luck?

I did the build. All stuff built except of one required apache module and there are only three. I look into that tonight / night.
After that I do some stress testing and then I'll upload binaries.
I hope that it won't take long.

Yesterday wasn't much time cause my granny celebrated her 87th birthday ^__^ That seemed to be a better option instead of debugging a build.

Totally agree on the bday being more important!!  Thanks again for the update!

[mario]

it is done. The dll's are still glowing from the CPU heat. Grab your copy as long it is fresh.

Awesome, nicely done Mario!!  I will crack it open and give it a run-through today/tomorrow - and report back.  Thanks!!

Hello. Best birthday wishes to your Gran - 87 is well worth a party 

I have installed and am running the 1.90 subversion. I replaced a fully operational 1.8.13 (test) environment. All seemed to work well at first, have re-imported a repository from a data dump, can browse to it using URL, can do anything readonly, but when I try and commit anything I get an authentication error. Also when I try and sync with my main production subversion (still at 1.7. I get this :
svnsync init --allow-non-empty <target repo URL> <source rep URL>
svnsync: E120190: Error running context: An error occurred during authentication

All of this worked fine with Subversion 1.8.13 modules.

I will probably switch back to 1.8.13 for now but I can fire up my 1.90 env if needed for debugging/testing. Any suggestions on how to find out what it is ?

Thanks

Which Apache version do you use? I know that some older 2.4.x version have issues with the auth due an auth bug.
