Why does svn et. al. depend upon apache2 (more specifically, apache2-ssl, apache2-ssl-common apache2-ssl-dev, and apache2-ssl-mpm-worker)?
svn doesn't _depend_ on apache2 et al. - it only _build depends_ on them. Meaning: you don't need to have apache2 installed to run a svn client, but you need it during the build time. Since all svn variants (splitt offs) are built at the same time.
Do I need apache2 (/sw/sbin/httpd) running for svn/svn-client to work? Can I use apache (/usr/sbin/httpd) instead?
You don't need to run apache2. But apache 1.x.x doesn't work together with svn at all.
I noticed that with apache2 installed, I end up with both /usr/sbin/httpd and /sw/sbin/httpd running. This is bad because /sw/sbin/httpd seems to be getting all the :80 requests, but is not configured in any but the default way. /usr/sbin/httpd runs because its check box is check in the 'Sharing' control panel. If I must install apache2 for svn, can I at least turn it off?
After you installed svn, you can easily remove apache2 again by doing e.g. 'sudo apt-get remove apache2-ssl-common' or 'fink remove apache2....' or by using FinkCommander.
But, what you also could do, is using the binary package of svn from the beginning:
sudo apt-get install svn-client-ssl
will not ask for apache2 but only install the svn client in a matter of seconds. But you will get svn 1.0.0 since there is no binary for 1.0.2 yet. If you absolutely need 1.0.2 there is no way around building apache2 too at the moment.
I hope this makes things a little clearer.
Chris.
