Hi,
Please help me..
I needed SVN Subversion 1.4 or greater on my centos server. I enabled CentOSPlus by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
But I got Subversion 1.1.4, which have lots of bugs which is fixed in higher version of subversion 1.4 Release http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.4_releasenotes.html. Subversion 1.4 Release is stable version. Is there any reason why we do not have Subversion 1.4 in the CentOSPlus repo ? Is there any way to use Subversion 1.4 in the CentOSPlus repo.
Thanks in Advance.

Yes. And the reason is called apr.

No. And the reason is called apr.
CentOS uses apr-0.9.4, subversion 1.4 need apr-0.9.7, which isn't installable without rebuilding *much* of the distribution.
subversion 1.3.2 is available from the rpmforge repository, though. See http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories
Cheers,
Ralph

Has anyone tried these RPMs on Centos? http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/
If so, does it break mod_perl or fastcgi?
Hi,
I have a Centos repository for various security tools and needed a newer svn too (and a newer Ruby for Rails but thats another story). I have svn 1.4.2 and apr 1.2.7 in my repo. To get this to work properly i had to rebuild httpd too (which is a backport of the 2.2.3 in fc6). Ofcourse it is not extensively tested but it works for me; maybe it works for you too?
Here's the repo file (just place in /etc/yum.repos.d) http://www.grond.org/downloads/source/Centos/RPMS/repofiles/grond-centos-i38...
You can view or download the rpms here: http://www.grond.org/downloads/source/Centos/
Kind regards,
Rubin.

does this work with everything else that depends on httpd as well ? eg. php mod_python etc ?
what about all the other files that depend on apr ? Also, what is your security fix policy for packages in that repo ?
I hope you make it quite clear that those packages will overwrite portions of the distro, and therefore, people loose the security / bugfix track from upstream.

Hi,
Well, as I said, it works for *me*. I haven't extensively tested the effects of the httpd update because I don't have the means to do so. I just really needed an up-to-date svn.
I tend to update my packages when there is a security issue that needs to be fixed in one of the apps that I (re)packaged.
I haven't encountered strangeness with the newer apr in combination with other packages in the main repos that depend on it. Again, this is not heavily tested.
The reason I posted is because someone seems to need a newer svn and I thought my small contribution could save him/her some work. If someone would be (rightfully so) concerned with replacing a package, he/she could always download the srpm(s) and deal with it as a local customization to the distro.
Regards,
Rubin.

No. And the reason is called apr.
apr isn't the big deal, but does require that you also rebuild things that depend on it as well (apache, php etc). I think pcre is the problem.

I'd call rebuilding apr-dependant packages a "big deal", especially as you have to do it with each update ...
But true, pcre seems to be the bigger deal.

this issue has been discussed a few times, and its unlikely that svn-1.4 will make it into any repo for centos-4, till the svn developers clarify the apr situation. Till then, your best option is to chase the svn developers.
But I got Subversion 1.1.4, which have lots of bugs which is fixed in higher version of subversion 1.4 Release http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.4_releasenotes.html. Subversion 1.4 Release is stable version.
Also you may wish to keep in mind that bug fixes and security issues are backported into the same version number, so while 1.1.4 is the version in the distro, it's not really an accurate representation, as it's not the vanilla 1.1.4.
See http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html for clarity.
