In fact I saw a mixture of two effects. The binaries are usable, but they lack
support for http and https repository access, because libsvn_ra_dav isn't
build, and that in turn is due to the version problem. Here's the relevant
part of the configure output:
[...]
configure: checking neon library
checking neon library version... 0.25.0
You have neon version 0.25.0,
but Subversion needs neon 0.24.7.
An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_dav
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_dav, please either
install neon 0.24.7 on this system
or
get neon 0.24.7 from:
http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.24.7.tar.gz
unpack the archive using tar/gunzip and rename the resulting
directory from ./neon-0.24.7/ to ./neon/
no suitable neon found
[...]
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.2.0 (r14790)
compiled Jun 23 2005, 23:56:22
[...]
The following repository access (RA) modules are available:
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
- handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
- handles 'file' scheme
$ cd working-copy; svn up
svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'https://...<snipped>...'
So there is definitely a problem. I consider support for those protocols vital
for the subversion package. My patch attached to the first message solves
this.
And just for the record: On our system, we had a subversion installed as part
of the OS. Now, while desperately looking for the ra_dav support, the OpenPKG
svn found /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_dav.so , couldn't load it due to missing
symbols, and stopped immediately with an error. Hence my claim that the
"binaries are not usable".
