Package: subversion X-Debbugs-Cc: debb...@igor2.repo.hu Version: 1.14.1-3 Severity: normal
I've installed subversion in a chroot from unstable. It suddenly refused to remember my password. There was no clear indication for why. After editing all config files I could think of it still silently refused to remember my password. It turns out this feature needs to be enabled in ./configure using --enable-plaintext-password-storage I am a long tiem svn user. I have situations where storing password in plain text is okay from security viewpoint (e.g. encrypted file system). Enabling this in configure will not force users to store passwords in plain; the svn client even warns and asks the user about this when it is about to happen. Please enable this feature so my workflow will not break after an upgrade. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Devuan Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera) Release: 4 Codename: n/a Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 5.13.2i5 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii libapr1 1.7.0-8 ii libaprutil1 1.6.1-5 ii libc6 2.32-4 ii libsvn1 1.14.1-3 subversion recommends no packages.
