installing subversion
Paul L., or anyone else with knowledge of subversion... I wanted to install subversion, from scratch, to set up a version control system. So I ended up at this page (http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/subversion-latest/redhat-8.x/) for the latest RPM's for RedHat 8. Not sure what the instructions mean. Which files do I need? Which do I install first? Doesn't the order matter? Since you like subversion, I figured I could pick your brain. I read the book, but the install section is about one sentence long. Maybe I just don't know enough about using rpm, and there is a magic incantation to get RPM to install subversion for me. Like rpm -ivh http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/subversion-latest/redhat-8.x/subversion-0.24.2-6284.i386.rpm Or apt-get -upgrade subversion It mentions use '--nodeps when the subversion-tools package is installed, but doesn't say that I need that, unless I'm misinterpreting. I want the client and the server, but I don't care about getting the absolute latest version, so do I just install everything listed, and not worry about using subversion to get the 'most recent' It says to run the server, install everything but the devel packages. Does that mean I should install the subversion-python RPM--or is that package only needed for Python clients? Does that mean I need all three wxGTK RPMs? -- Greg Rundlett FREePHILE We are 'Open' for Business (Free Software on Linux) www.freephile.com fortune: The sheep died in the wool. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Hmmm, I'm amused by the combined use of the phrase 'from scratch' and 'rpm' :) >Not sure what the instructions mean. Which files do I need? Which do I >install first? Doesn't the order matter? Well, the directions state: Note 1: For now you will need to install the subversion RPMS with the rpm "--nodeps" option when the subversion-tools package is installed. Note 2: For RedHat 9.x make sure you have the backward compatable openssl packages installed. If all you want to do is run this version of the client then just install the httpd-apr, neon, and subversion RPMs. To run the Subversion server (via apache), install all the RPMs except for the devel RPMs. So, I take this to mean that: 1. you'll need to use the --nodeps option for installation 2. you'll need to install the openssl packages appropriate for use with RH9. 3. if you only want to install the clients, then just install those rpms listed (httpd-apr, neon, and subversion) 4. if you want to install the server to run under apache, then then install all the rpms *excpt* the devel rpms. So, assuming that you are installing a Subversion server, I would grab all the packages and install them using the --nodeps option. Assuming you copied them to /tmp: rpm --nodeps -Uvh /tmp/*.rpm should do it. > I read the book, but the install section is about one sentence long. > Maybe I just don't know enough about using rpm, That's kinda what it sounds like, however, there's no real magic behind RPM. It's just like any other package management too. I recommend you look at the man page and use rpm --help to get familiar with it. > there is a magic incantation to get RPM to install subversion for me. [rpm command snipped] >Or > apt-get -upgrade subversion If you've got apt installed, I would query the cache to see if subversion is one of those packages available. If so, I'd use that. If not, just grab the RPMs from the site you mentioned. >It mentions use '--nodeps when the subversion-tools package is installed, >but doesn't say that I need that, unless I'm misinterpreting.

If you're planning on converting a cvs repo to svn, or using any of the hook scripts, I'd install it. If not, you can easily get away without it. >It says to run the server, install everything but the devel packages.

You need to then install, as per the directions, everything except the devel packages.

I think he meant it isn't available within the RH version of apt-cache. It's been available for Debian since the beginning of the project AFAIK, since a couple of the svn developers are also big debian fans. -- Seeya, Paul -- Key fingerprint = 1660 FECC 5D21 D286 F853 E808 BB07 9239 53F1 28EE It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

RPM hangs up on the apache install because of some date error / dependency that I can't remember (even with --nodeps). The latest Subversion needs apache 2.0.46. There isn't even an RPM for Apache 2.0.46 at rpmfind (although there is one in the subversion site). When I realized that I needed to upgrade Apache from 2.0.40 to 2.0.46, I kinda gave up because it was more work than I wanted to do this weekend. > >Or > > apt-get -upgrade subversion > > If you've got apt installed, I would query the cache to see if > subversion is one of those packages available.
