Hello, I have a question for the Subversion guru's out there.
we have a huge subversion installation with over 500 repositories in a cluster environment currently on Subversion version 1.4.6 hosted on a redhat as5 server. I am planning to migrate this to Subversion 1.7. I was reading thru the Subversion site and it seems like as simple as 1/ Build a new version of Apache and Subversion and all related modules. 2/ Bring the current installation down .. 3/ Push the new environment with the new apache server and subversion 1.7 server binary in path and bring up the apache server and the upgrade is completed. (of course client side push to all the dev desktops with subversion 1.7 will also be done simultaneously.) is it really that simple? I had read about previous upgrades to 1.6 (from 1.4.x or 1.5 ) and that the dump and load was mandatory ... I did try a quick repo tar and bring up in the new 1.7 rc3 subversion server environment, access with file protocol and a local checkout and verified all the subversion magic in place with the top level .svn, log with diff option, the amazing checkout speeds and hence am really excited with the prospect of quick move. The only fact that left me a bit puzzled was that the repository format still showed 5, inspite of doing a svnadmin verify with subversion 1.7 rc3 with no error reported, ... or I am missing something..? Thanks in advance for your time. Regards, raj .. PS:
