Package: libneon24 Version: 0.24.7.dfsg-2 Severity: normal libneon24 is compiled with the --disable-debug parameter. This apparently means that setting ne_debug is completely ignored. Which in turn means that the subversion recommendation to set neon-debug-mask (in .subversion/servers) to debug client/server interaction issues is ineffective for non-obvious reasons. (It was really only when I downloaded the Debian source to libneon24 that I figured out what was wrong; prior to that I spent a while trying to figure out why subversion wasn't picking up the setting.)
It would be very helpful if there were a README.Debian file installed with the libneon24 package saying something to the effect: NOTE: This package is compiled with --disable-debug, which means you will not be able to enable debugging/trace output in the neon library. If you need this trace output please download the source to libneon24 and recompile the package.
